Helio 0.1.0

Install

iPhone and iPad: add the source https://sozercan.github.io/helio/source.json in SideStore or AltStore, or sideload Helio-0.1.0.ipa with Sideloadly. Sideloaded builds can't use iCloud, so data stays on the device.

Mac: unzip Helio-0.1.0-mac.zip, move Helio to Applications, then allow it under System Settings > Privacy & Security on first launch. After that, Helio > Check for Updates… installs new versions. This build isn't notarized and has no keychain access, so it asks you to sign in to Reddit again on each launch.
