Papote 0.5.3
Server (Docker image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.3, also latest): docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Nothing to change in docker-compose.yml or .env.
Android: Papote-v0.5.3-release.apk below installs over the previous version (the app also offers it by itself).
What's new (Android):
- No more pop-up at launch: after signing in, Android 13+ only asks once "Allow notifications?", like any other messenger
- Notifications for new messages out of the box: the background connection is now on by default (if you turned it off, it stays off)
- The "Papote stays connected" notification can be hidden: Android requires it to keep the connection without Google services. It is now silent, and tapping it opens the setting to hide it; the connection keeps going and you only see new messages. Settings → Notifications shows whether it's hidden
- The app no longer crashes if Android refuses to start the connection in the background
Serveur : docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.3), rien à changer dans le compose ni le .env.
Android : l’APK ci-dessous s’installe par-dessus la version précédente.
Nouveautés (Android) : plus de pop-up au lancement (seulement, sur Android 13+, la demande système « Autoriser les notifications ? », une fois) ; la connexion en arrière-plan est active par défaut, donc les nouveaux messages arrivent en notification sans rien régler ; la notification « Papote reste connecté » imposée par Android est silencieuse et se masque d’un toucher, la connexion continue (Paramètres → Notifications indique si elle est masquée).
Papote 0.5.2
Server (Docker image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.2, also latest): docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Nothing to change in docker-compose.yml or .env.
Android: Papote-v0.5.2-release.apk below installs over the previous version (the app also offers it by itself).
What's new:
- Polls readable in dark mode: the result bars are now tinted from the option's own background, so the text stays readable in every theme, light or dark (web app and Android)
- "(ton vote)" is now translated into English in both apps
- Website and READMEs: new screenshots, and complete Caddy and nginx configurations for HTTPS
Serveur : docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.2), rien à changer dans le compose ni le .env.
Android : l’APK ci-dessous s’installe par-dessus la version précédente.
Nouveautés : les sondages sont lisibles en mode sombre (les barres de résultat prennent une teinte adaptée au thème, sur le web et sur Android), « (ton vote) » est traduit en anglais, et le site et les README ont de nouvelles captures et des configurations Caddy et nginx complètes pour le HTTPS.
Papote 0.5.1
Server (Docker image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.1, also latest): docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Nothing to change in docker-compose.yml or .env.
Android: Papote-v0.5.1-release.apk below installs over the previous version.
What's new:
- Sign-up links in
/admin: the server access code and each one-time code come with a link (copy button) and a QR code. Opening the link shows "Create my account" with the code already filled in - Android: scanning an invitation QR code while signed out opens account creation with the server address and the code filled in
Serveur : docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.1).
Android : l’APK ci-dessous s’installe par-dessus la version précédente.
Nouveautés : dans /admin, un lien d’inscription (avec bouton Copier) et son QR code pour le code d’accès au serveur et chaque code ponctuel ; le lien ouvre « Créer mon compte » avec le code déjà rempli. Sur Android, scanner un QR d’invitation hors connexion ouvre directement la création de compte.
Papote 0.5.0
Server (Docker image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.0, also latest): docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Nothing to change in docker-compose.yml or .env.
Android: Papote-v0.5.0-release.apk below installs over the previous version (the app also offers it by itself).
What's new:
- Standard accounts: sign up with a display name, a username and a password, and sign in with them on every device. No more codes to type
- Who can sign up (
/admin→ Inscriptions): open to anyone (default) or invitation-only (a group's code or the server access code) - Existing accounts stay signed in and are asked once to choose a username and a password (Settings → My account); their personal code keeps working until then
- Add someone to a group (Members → Add someone): a contact in one tap, or anyone by their exact username, who gets an invitation to accept
- Admin → Members → New password: a temporary password for a member who forgot theirs or lost their phone
Serveur : docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.5.0), rien à changer dans le compose ni le .env.
Android : l’APK ci-dessous s’installe par-dessus la version précédente.
Nouveautés : des comptes classiques (pseudo, identifiant, mot de passe) sur tous les appareils, inscriptions ouvertes ou sur invitation (réglage de l’admin), ajout d’un contact dans un groupe en un geste ou de n’importe qui par son identifiant (avec invitation à accepter), et dans l’admin un mot de passe provisoire pour un membre qui l’a oublié. Les comptes existants restent connectés et choisissent leur identifiant et mot de passe dans Paramètres → Mon compte.
Papote 0.4.1
Server (Docker image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.4.1, also latest): docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Nothing to change in docker-compose.yml or .env.
Android: Papote-v0.4.1-release.apk below installs over the previous version (the app also offers it by itself).
What's new:
- Notifications like the other messengers: the group's picture, the last messages with their authors, a pop-up at the top of the screen, and bubbles on Android 11+ (a floating chat to read and answer without opening the app). Settings → Notifications shows whether pop-ups and bubbles are on, with a button to turn them on. Messages use a new notification channel: a custom sound set on the old one has to be set again
- Theme and Colours apart (Settings → Appearance): pick a theme (Pastel, Starry night, Notebook, Neo-pop, Plain, Arcade, Forest), then its colours, or keep the theme's own ("Original")
- Changing the language now brings you back to Settings
Serveur : docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.4.1), rien à changer dans le compose ni le .env.
Android : l’APK ci-dessous s’installe par-dessus la version précédente.
Nouveautés : notifications façon messageries (photo du groupe, derniers messages, pop-up en haut de l’écran, bulles flottantes sur Android 11+), Thème et Couleurs séparés dans Apparence, et le changement de langue te laisse dans Paramètres.

What's new:
- Six new themes for the whole app, light and dark: Starry night, Notebook, Neo-pop, Plain, Arcade and Forest. Fonts, corners, bubbles, outlines and buttons change too (Settings → Appearance)
- Group backgrounds: 8 illustrated patterns drawn in the group's colour (hearts, stars, waves, leaves, confetti, clouds, paws, music) or a background photo, also in one-to-one conversations. On Android the pattern is now actually shown in the conversation
- Admin → Members → New code: for a member who lost their phone, a new personal code with its QR code; all their devices are signed out and their account's 2FA is removed
Serveur : docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.4.0).

Papote 0.3.0
Server (Docker image ghcr.io/mrddream/papote:0.3.0, also latest): docker compose pull && docker compose up -d.
New optional settings in .env: MAX_UPLOAD_MB (videos and documents, 20 by default — behind nginx, raise client_max_body_size to match) and UPDATE_CHECK (false = never contact GitHub).
Android: Papote-v0.3.0-release.apk below installs over 0.2.0 without losing anything. From now on the app tells you when a new version is out.
What's new:
- Swipe a message to the right to reply; the answered message shows above the reply
- Read ticks under your messages: sent, read by some, read by everyone
- Tap a profile or group picture to see it big
- Send videos and any document ("File"), up to
MAX_UPLOAD_MB - Share to Papote from other apps, and straight to a conversation from Android's share sheet
- The "+" menu is now a grid of icons; the stories bar only shows when someone has a story
