PlainApp

Getting Started

PlainApp is a self-hosted Android application that creates a local web server on your phone. Once started, you can access a full-featured management dashboard from any browser on the same Wi-Fi network.

Install the app from Google Play, F-Droid, or GitHub → Open PlainApp → Tap Start → Open the displayed URL in your browser.

Encryption & Security

PlainApp uses TLS (HTTPS) for all browser connections with XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. The P2P chat feature uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption with Ed25519 digital signatures. Your self-signed certificate means the browser will show a security warning on first visit — this is expected and safe to proceed through.
