Website and documentation

Installation

Kvaesitso can be installed on Android devices running Android 8.0 or higher, but a Google Pixel device running Android 11 or higher is recommended for the best experience.

Using an F-Droid client and MM20's repo

The preferred way of installation is using the F-Droid application. That way you will always be notified about updates. Kvaesitso is available in the official F-Droid repository, but all features depending on non-foss external APIs were removed. For feature-complete builds you can add MM20's repository. Just scan the code below or open the link on your phone:

https://fdroid.mm20.de/repo/

The same version is also available in IzzyOnDroid's repository.

Manual installation

You can also download the latest release from the releases page and install it manually.
