I was recently using this fork before it was recently archived. It seems that every dev who puts their hand on it quickly backtracks (understandably so) that it became almost like a curse. Anyways, is anybody aware of a fork that it is still actively developed and maintained? Thanks.

P.S. I know there are other open source apps with a similar function, but I am looking specifically for the unique design which ViMusic has for its UI.

Not what youre looking after but- I use newpipe as a peertube client, but since it supports youtube as well you can search yt music specifically and download a track in up to a 128kps .m4a of 160kps .opus file. I then use vlc for android to play em, and it works just fine :3 You may find a offline music player with a ui similar to vi as well!

Some minor gripes is that these files seemingly dont come with metadata, and you cant download a whole playlist or album at a time, both being huge bummers :/

That's what I used to do before opting for online streaming.

I'm pretty sure yt-dlp can do this. Why not try Seal on F-droid.
