0.1.0-beta - 2026-09-21

Version code 16. The first beta. The alpha versions end here.

  • Updates: Ink Update. Rebind has no internet permission, so it cannot
    look for a new version. Ink Update, an open source app of its own, does
    that: F-Droid first, then Google Play (it leaves an app that Google Play
    installed to Google Play), then GitHub. It makes a notification and opens
    the page. Setup has an "Updates" row that installs or opens it. The build
    for direct install carries it.

  • The build for direct install carries Ink Dim too. Hardware hacks lists it.

  • The lists of carried apps are named "Extensions".

  • Settings are safe across versions and across an uninstall. An update
    always kept the settings: they are in the data of the app. An uninstall
    removed them. Now Android asks at uninstall whether to keep the data
    (hasFragileUserData), and Rebind keeps an automatic copy of the settings in
    Documents/Rebind/rebind-settings.json, which an uninstall does not touch.
    Import opens that folder. StoredFormatTest holds the texts that every
    0.0.x version stored, so a new version cannot stop reading them unseen.
