What’s new
FIXES:
- GitHub #34: starting the service on a Pixel device with Android 17 was failing due to new enforcements by the OS. - temporary going back to targetting Android 16. The app still works/supports Android 17. This solves complication seen in #34.
How to install
Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.

Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
Files are scanned for malware on every update.
The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
