Releases
0.4.1
- Add a sensor by its name: type the two-word name the map shows, such as Auburn Horseradish, or an owner's, such as Slender Scorpion, to add all of their sensors at once. Suggestions from the sensors on the map appear as you type. Pasting an address still works.
- QR scanning without Google Play services (GrapheneOS and other de-Googled phones): the app scans with its own camera. It asks for camera access only in this case.
- Alerts pop up at the top of the screen instead of waiting in the notification shade.
- On Altruist Insight, CO₂ is named once on the sensor screen.
Installs over 0.4.0 (same signing key, SHA-256 4B:B9:7C:8F:…:89:48). Android 7+.
0.4.0
- Ready for Google Play: targets Android 16 (API 36), the level Google Play requires from 31 August 2026.
- Capacitor 8 (was 6), built with JDK 21, Android Gradle Plugin 8.13, Gradle 8.14.3.
- Edge-to-edge on Android 15+: the app draws under the transparent status and navigation bars as the system now requires; content keeps clear of them, and a strip under the status bar keeps the clock readable while scrolling.
- Checked on a Pixel Fold with Android 17 (inner screen in portrait and landscape, the keyboard, and a narrow phone-sized window) and on Android 14.
Installs over 0.3.5 (same signing key, SHA-256 4B:B9:7C:8F:…:89:48). Android 7+.

Installs over 0.3.4 (same signing key, SHA-256 4B:B9:7C:8F:…:89:48). Android 7+.
0.3.4
- PM on the European scale, as on the map. PM2.5 and PM10 ratings now follow the European Air Quality Index (EEA) levels: Good, Fair, Moderate, Poor, Very poor and Extremely poor. For PM2.5 the borders are 5, 15, 50, 90 and 140 µg/m³; for PM10 they are 15, 45, 120, 195 and 270.
- Alerts come when the air turns Poor (PM2.5 above 50, PM10 above 120). The "good again" alert comes back at Fair, the WHO 24-h guideline (15 / 45). CO₂ alerts are unchanged.
Installs over 0.3.3 (same signing key, SHA-256 4B:B9:7C:8F:…:89:48). Android 7+.
0.3.3
- The map opens over the app. It now opens in a Chrome tab on top of the app. Its ✕ or Back returns you to your sensors. Before, the map replaced the app, with no visible way back.
- Names instead of addresses, the same as on the map. Sensors are plants ("Mature Radish"), owners are animals ("Giant Porpoise"). A name you gave a sensor yourself stays on top, with the map's name under it. The full id is at the bottom of the sensor screen, with Copy.
- Radiation: dose rate is shown in nSv/h with the map's EURDEP ranges. Service fields (count rate, error %) are hidden, as on the map.
Installs over 0.3.2 (same signing key, SHA-256 4B:B9:7C:8F:…:89:48). Android 7+.
0.3.2
Design review fixes (Altruist / Sensors.social team).
- Ratings from the sensors.social map only: same zones, colours and names as the map (Good / Moderate / Unhealthy / Very Unhealthy / Unacceptable for PM; PM2.5 30 / 55 / 110 / 250). WHO thresholds removed. Alerts use the same zones.
- Saved sensors list: map type icon (Urban / Insight / Dual / DIY), your name for the sensor or its id as
4EEg…wUTr, and "updated N min ago" on every card — grey "no data for N h" after an hour of silence. - Device screen: full id with Copy, rename kept on the phone only.
- Charts coloured by the map's zones, gaps in grey, zone legend.
- Help and support link.
Installs over 0.3.1 (same signing key, SHA-256 4B:B9:7C:8F:…:89:48). Android 7+.
