Linqo 0.4.1 — Early Preview

Linqo 0.4.1 — early preview

Linqo is still in active development. This is the first public source/APK preview, not a finished store release.

Included

• Persistent local saves, favourites, collections and indexed search.
• Android text/link sharing, automatic titles and genuine cached previews where public providers allow them.
• Cheerful mascot icon, full-logo startup and lavender/purple light/dark Flutter UI.
• Optional English on-device extraction. No model is bundled or downloaded automatically; the optional compact model download is about 397 MB.
• Buy Me a Coffee support in Settings, README and GitHub funding, plus an open-source licenses screen.

Reliability fixes

• Startup metadata recovery now traverses all pending saves in bounded pages, rather than stopping after the newest sixteen.
• Replacing an attachment removes its old private copy only after the new save commits; a failed replacement preserves the original.

Download and install

Choose Linqo-v0.4.1-android-arm64.apk for an ARM64 phone running Android 10/API 29 or later. APK: 71,844,380 bytes (about 68.5 MiB). SHA256SUMS.txt is attached for verification.

Install in place to retain saves/settings. Do not uninstall or clear app data to update. This preview retains the existing development signing identity for compatibility with earlier test installs; it is not production/Play Store signed. Fork-built APKs use their own local key and may not update this installation.

Verification and limits

86 host tests pass, static analysis is clean, and emulator support/licenses checks pass in light/dark and 2× text. Packaging checks confirm no bundled model or test/signing secrets. No new model-speed or accuracy benchmark is claimed.

Public Instagram/website previews are best effort, and a thumbnail does not provide a caption/transcript. Extraction needs supplied English text and sufficient device memory; generated results need review. Export/backup, sync, readable webpage extraction, full captions, OCR, transcription and native iOS support remain unimplemented. Keep originals of important files: clearing app data/uninstalling removes local data.

See the README and release review for build instructions and remaining work.

Original code is Apache-2.0; dependencies, fonts and model weights retain their own licenses.

Support development — Buy me a coffee. Donations are optional.

Native llama.cpp/ggml attribution supplements Flutter’s generated list in the attached THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt. Keep that accompanying license bundle with the APK when redistributing it. The APK checksum is unchanged.
