What’s new
Article and reader-mode images now display from nested, lazy-loaded, picture, and relative sources. Headings, lists, quotes, emphasis, and links retain their formatting. Long-press icon buttons to see their actions. On Android 12 and newer, the cold-start splash follows the selected theme.
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.
Data safety
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.
