Install

One download, then it stays current

1

Download

APK MatrixFamily_latest_android.apk for a phone. Allow installs from this browser if Android asks.

2

Install the APK

Signed with the Matrix Family release key. Later APKs use the same key, so Android replaces the app in place and keeps the session.

3

Leave it running

On launch the app reads latest.json on this host and offers the new APK when a newer build is published.

Current build

0.0.84

The APK is the first install and the OTA payload. Stable names always point at the current files so bookmarks and the apps hub keep working.
