NikoGPT for Android

Open-source Android client for the NikoGPT web chat (chat.n1ko.dev) — a thin, auditable WebView shell around the same web interface that runs in the browser. No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs: the whole app is one activity and a handful of resources.

Android 10+ (minSdk 29), targets Android 15.
Everything the web app can do: conversations, attachments (system file picker), images, generated files, settings, themes.
Downloads go through Android's DownloadManager (with your session cookies), links to other sites open in the system browser.
Open in the browser only: chat.n1ko.dev loads inside; anything else leaves the app.
TLS errors are never bypassed, no cleartext traffic, no backup.
Day/night theme follows the system; the page keeps its own theme setting.
Back gesture navigates the chat history, pull-to-refresh reloads.

Install

Download the APK from the releases page and open it on the phone (allow installing apps from this source when Android asks). The APK is debug-signed for now, so Android may show a warning.

Build

Requirements: JDK 17, Android SDK (platform 35, build-tools 35.0.0).

./gradlew assembleDebug     # app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
./gradlew assembleRelease   # unsigned; sign it yourself

Or just open the project in Android Studio.

Release signing

Create a keystore and export it as Gradle properties or use apksigner on the release output:

keytool -genkeypair -v -keystore nikogpt.jks -alias nikogpt \
  -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
apksigner sign --ks nikogpt.jks --out nikogpt-release.apk \
  app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk

Structure

Path	Purpose
`app/src/main/java/dev/n1ko/nikogpt/MainActivity.kt`	the whole app: WebView setup, file chooser, downloads, back handling
`app/src/main/res/layout/activity_main.xml`	WebView + progress bar + retry screen
`.forgejo/workflows/build.yml`	CI: builds the APK on tags
