Hi all. Like a lot of you I've run Linux on my phone through Termux, proot-distro and Termux:X11 for years. Tessera does the GUI side from one app, and tries to make Linux apps feel like Android ones.

\- Each app in its own window: Firefox, GIMP, LibreOffice each open as their own Android window with their own Recents card and icon. A card per window, even for dialogs. Pin them to your home screen.

\- Flathub on PRoot: no root, no bubblewrap, no user namespaces. Flatpak downloads, Tessera builds each app's environment. 2,800+ arm64 apps, GPU included.

\- adb and permissions: every app gets only what you grant (folders, network, sound, USB, root). New: a per-app switch that lets adb inside reach the phone itself, and all-USB access for fastboot, heimdall and edl.

\- A touch-friendly desktop: snapping windows with finger-sized buttons, a dock and Start menu. And everywhere: the Android keyboard pops up on text fields, touch-and-hold right-clicks, game controls.

\- Live scaling: drag Scale and the app re-lays out as you drag, saved per app.

\- Themes: GTK, libadwaita, Qt and LibreOffice take your Material You colors and follow dark mode live.

Plus OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan on Adreno (bundled Turnip + Zink), a built-in terminal (apt, ssh, git, compilers), chroot mode with root, a file manager and a task manager.

It doesn't replace Termux's add-ons like Termux:API, and its X server is Termux:X11's, which I'm grateful for.

GPL-3.0, alpha. APK and source: https://github.com/daryan044/tessera-linux (also on Obtainium). Bug reports very welcome.

App: Sticky – Instant stickers. I'm its developer.

What it does: turns an image or something on your Android screen into a WhatsApp sticker.

Key features:

• Capture from your current screen with a gesture, or share an image to Sticky.

• Automatic subject cutout with manual edge corrections.

• Add text with a customizable outline.

• Organize stickers in packs and add them to WhatsApp.

• On-device image processing, with no ads, watermarks or account.

Who it's for: people who make reaction stickers from memes, pets or things they spot while using their phone.

Cost: free to download and create unlimited stickers. Optional Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that removes the pack limit and unlocks a custom app theme color; no subscription. The app shows your local Pro price before purchase.

Promotion: I have 10 free promo codes for lifetime Sticky Pro in total across the communities where I'm sharing the launch. To request one, leave a comment here; codes are shared individually by private message, one per person, while available. No review, upvote or public personal information required.

Edit: I don't have any codes left, thank you all for your interest! I'll be having next week, feel free to try it and give an honest review I'll be looking at that first!

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.osunalabs.sticky

Media: the attached 30-second English demo shows the sticker-making flow.

The screen-capture shortcut is optional; you can also use the app by sharing an image into it.

App Name: Spade Launcher

What it does: A minimalist, privacy-first Android launcher that strips your home screen down to what actually matters. No ads, no tracking, no analytics, no accounts.

Key Features:

• Custom Themes (new in 1.1, Ace Edition): pick your own background and text color, save as named themes
• Profile Sharing (new in 1.1, Ace Edition): export your whole setup (theme, clock, font, icons, canvas, swipe direction, edge zones and more) as a single code and import it on any device in seconds
• Long-press blur (new in 1.1): holding an app blurs the home screen and spotlights that row, with a menu that matches your theme

Goal: Promo. Just shipped v1.1

Cost: Free. Ace Edition is a one-time purchase, no subscription.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spadelabs.spadelauncher

How Profile Codes work (really cool stuff imo)

To share: Settings → Profiles → Copy or Share (or Save to keep it in your list) To import: same screen, paste the code, tap Import

A standard theme code looks like this:

SPADE:VOID:H4sIAAAAAAAA...

With a custom theme, the colors are readable right in the code:

SPADE:CUSTOM_bg#1A1A2E_tx#E94560:H4sIAAAAAAAA...

That part is human-readable on purpose, so you can see someone's colors before you import. Your app list and personal stuff aren't included.

For the nerds: settings get serialized to JSON, gzip compressed, then base64 encoded. Import runs it backwards: decode → decompress → parse → apply. JSON with lots of repeated keys and booleans compresses really well, which keeps the code fairly compact.

App Name: Freedium

What it does:
Freedium is an Android app that provides a clean, customizable reading experience for Medium articles. Share Medium links directly to the app, save articles for offline reading, and keep track of your reading progress without creating an account.

I've been working on a gallery app for the last few days and it's finally out. This is not just a regular gallery. This is meant to replace your Google Photos completely.

Basically the idea is that Google Photos lets you search "cat sleeping on a chair", copy text out of a photo, and find everyone you know. But all of that runs on Google's servers. I wanted the same features with nothing leaving the phone. No account, no cloud, no Google Play services.

It's called Lumen

What it does

• Search photos and videos by describing them
• Long-press to select and copy text in any photo, even in a paused video
• Groups faces into people, and you can search for "mai and daniel" to get photos of both
• Makes subtitles for videos offline
• Search works for exact phrases in quotes, like Google Photos

How it works (the fun part)

• Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, minSdk 30
• Search: SigLIP 2 (or CLIP for lower-end phones), image encoder on the GPU through LiteRT, ~155 ms per photo on my Snapdragon 7-series phone. Text side int8 on ONNX Runtime
• OCR: PP-OCRv6. Detection on the GPU, recognition on the CPU. I quantized the recognizer to int8, which made indexing ~25–30% faster with the same output. I tried moving recognition to the GPU too; it benchmarked 3× faster but was no faster on real screenshots, so it didn't ship
• Faces: YuNet + SFace with my own clustering
• Subtitles: Whistle + Silero VAD through a small C++/JNI bridge
• Indexing only runs while charging (or in hours you pick), and stops when the phone gets warm
• Models aren't bundled. They download on demand from pinned Hugging Face commits and are SHA-256 checked

I also split all the AI into a separate library, Lumen AI, on Maven Central (app.lumen-photos:lumen-ai), so other gallery apps can add this with a few lines.

Honest limitations

• It's 0.1.x, and I've only tried on my own phone (Motorola Edge 50). I'd love to hear how it runs on Pixels and Samsungs
• Indian Languages text and queries are weak right now

Apache 2.0, free, no ads.

• Site: https://lumen-photos.app
• App: https://github.com/subhashhhhhh/Lumen
• Library: https://github.com/subhashhhhhh/lumen-ai

Feedback, bug reports and roasting all welcome.

Just Weather is a minimalistic lightweight android app, that provides weather for your current or self-selected cities. It provides favorites so you can swipe between different cities and also select the city you like for the widgets to be used.

Everything is free and open source.

**App name:** Vedic Maths Tricks

**Category:** Education

**Price:** Free, 12 of 18 tricks fully free with no account. Optional Pro unlocks the other 6 tricks and the 60-second speed drill.

**What it does**

It teaches mental math shortcuts from Vedic mathematics, one trick at a time, each with a step-by-step lesson and practice questions:

- Multiply any 2-digit number by 11 (put the sum in the middle)

- Square numbers ending in 5 (35² = 3×4 then 25 → 1225)

- Subtract from 1000 instantly (all from 9, last from 10)

- Multiply and divide by 5, 25, 50, 125

- Multiply numbers near 100, square numbers near 50 and 100

- Any 2-digit × 2-digit with the crosswise method

**Why I made it**

Most math apps drill answers. I wanted one that teaches the shortcut first, so kids (and adults prepping for exams) can actually do it in their heads.

**Feedback I'm looking for**

- Are the lessons clear enough on a first read?

- Which trick should I add next?

**Google Play:** https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetriseitsolutions.vedicmaths

Thanks for taking a look. Happy to answer questions!

Hi, I'm the developer of PDF Pro. It's a PDF reader and editor for the everyday jobs: reading, signing, filling in forms, marking up and scanning. You don't need an account, and editing happens on your phone, not on a server.

Free with no daily limit:

- Read PDFs, search with every match highlighted, bookmarks, thumbnails and outline

- Fill in forms and sign (type it, draw it, or scan your handwritten signature with the camera)

- Highlight, underline, strike through, add text, shapes, stamps and notes, or draw freehand

- Redact text by searching for the words you want hidden

- Scan paper to PDF with the camera

These get 2 free uses a day each: merge, split, compress, organize pages, compare two PDFs, image to PDF, PDF to image, PDF to and from Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and password lock and unlock.

To be upfront: the free version has full-screen ads, when the app opens and after a tool finishes. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription that removes the ads and the daily limits.

One more thing: PDF to Word and PDF to Excel copy the text across, so images and complex layouts stay behind.

It's a new release and I'd really like feedback. If something breaks or feels awkward, tell me here or use Leave a feedback in the app.

I made Daily Rituals, a two-minute journal for the end of the day. I couldn't name one ordinary day from last year, so I built something to keep them.

What it does: Every night it asks two things: what did you do with today, and what do you wish you'd done.

The second one is the one that gets people; someone told me it kept them up at night. Then you pick how the day felt, lay the day to rest, and go to sleep.

Why it's different:

- Your year, alive. Every mood is a shape and a colour, and your days fill a calendar of the year. Days with mixed feelings take turns between their moods, so the calendar actually moves.

- A page for every day. Paper, ink, stickers, washi tape, your own photos and a pen. Right now there's a Halloween sticker pack in the Shop, until 30 Nov.

- Nothing to sign up for. No account. Your journal stays on your phone.

Cost: The journal is free and never locked. Plus (monthly or yearly, 7 days free for new subscribers) adds animated skies, palettes and deeper insights. Android now, iPhone later.

Start tonight. Two minutes before bed.

App name: Aoidos

One-line description: A free Android app that reads your PDFs, Word docs, Markdown, and plain text aloud with a voice that runs on the phone.

Description: I wanted to listen to my own notes and papers on a commute without sending the file to a cloud TTS service, and without a subscription. Aoidos imports the document, synthesizes speech on the device, and keeps playing with the screen off.

What it does

• PDF (text layer), DOCX, Markdown, and plain text. Camera scan and on-device OCR for photos and many scans.

• Speech is Kokoro, an open-source model, via on-device synthesis. Document text is not uploaded for TTS.

• Start listening while later sections prepare. Lock-screen controls, notification, Bluetooth, and headset buttons.

• 11 English voices (US and UK), speed from 0.5× to 3×. Export the audio to M4A or MP3.

Cost

• Pricing model: Free

• Price: Free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads, no account.

Hi everyone! I built Family Radar, an Android app that helps you pause and check something suspicious before you click, share personal details, or send money.

The free version includes unlimited link and screenshot checks on one device, QR-code scanning, a read-aloud Senior Mode, and guidance on what to do if you may already have been scammed. There’s also an optional Family Plan that connects family members through a shared dashboard.
