Still Point for Android

The same app as the web version, with readings, breathing sessions and chimes that keep going while the screen is off. Free and open source. It has no internet permission: your readings never leave your phone.

Download the latest version

Latest version: 1.0.1. The download is the file StillPoint-1.0.1.apk on the release page, which also lists its SHA-256 checksum.

Install it

1. Download the .apk file from the release page.
2. Open it. Android asks you to allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps: allow it for this one install.
3. Open Still Point, allow Nearby devices (Bluetooth), and connect your Polar H10 or other chest strap. When you start your first reading or session it asks to show notifications: that notification is what keeps it running with the screen off.

Updates install over the old version and keep your history. Moving from the web app? In the web app use Settings → Save all to file, then Import history in the Android app. Prefer not to install anything? Use the web app in Chrome or Chromium.

Check that it's the official build

This is the official download. Copies elsewhere are allowed by the licence, so check any APK before installing it:

• Checksum: compare the file's SHA-256 with the one on the release page. On a computer: sha256sum StillPoint-1.0.1.apk (Linux, macOS: shasum -a 256, Windows: certutil -hashfile StillPoint-1.0.1.apk SHA256).
• Signing certificate: every official build is signed with the same key. Apps such as AppVerifier show an installed app's certificate; it must match:

Keep it up to date

• In the app: Settings → About → Check for updates opens this page and tells you if a newer version exists.
• Automatically: add https://github.com/Anonaconda-CodeLab/still-point to Obtainium, a free app that watches GitHub releases and installs updates.

Install from a computer

With USB debugging turned on in the phone's Developer options: adb install StillPoint-1.0.1.apk. A one-click installer that runs in Chrome on your computer is on the way.

Why isn't it on Google Play?

Our apps are free, open source and collect nothing. Publishing on Google Play means registering with Google, handing over government ID and paying a fee. Google is now extending that identity check beyond its own store: since 30 September 2026, apps from participating app stores in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand must come from developers verified by Google, and Google plans to require this for all apps on certified Android phones worldwide from 2027.

We believe you should be able to install software you choose on a phone you own, without asking Google's permission, so we support Keep Android Open and distribute directly instead. If your phone one day refuses an app from an unverified developer, Android's advanced flow (in Developer options; a one-time 24-hour wait) or an install from a computer still works.
