Project News

We are getting ready to go to full production and we are setting up our new infrastructure soon. Stay tuned for updates.

We have once again been banned from GitHub. We are deeply disappointed in GitHub's continued hostile and arbitrary enforcement, which has repeatedly disrupted our ability to serve our users. We do not find their conduct acceptable. Downloads will be unavailable for a period while we address this. Rather than remain dependent on a platform that has proven unreliable and adversarial, we are building our own infrastructure so we can deliver our apps without being at the mercy of third-party gatekeepers. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Finar and Klit have both been rewritten as native apps, which is our main stack for now. They will come out any day now. We are super excited to show you these new apps — they are faster, smoother, less buggy and jank. We are still sad we had to leave Flutter, but it left us no other option; we just could not ruin apps, so they're native now.

We are sorry, but we would much rather users have a good experience with an old version than a new update with a terrible experience.

Support for Spotify has been canceled for Doudou due to Spotify supporting I.E.E. and other MAGA US politics. We do not support those nazis.

Docan and Finar are now on APKPure alongside Doudou. We are super proud of this. Docan: https://apkpure.com/p/gitlab.openlyst.docan — Finar: https://apkpure.com/p/gitlab.openlysr.finar

New UI for desktop and mobile, improved layouts, now playing screen, and more.

This was one of the hardest decisions we've had to make. We are moving away from Flutter for future applications—Flutter's performance and design simply weren't meeting our standards. Some of our existing applications will be ported to our new native stack. Native will be the base for everything we build from here on, except for the main official website. Thank you for your understanding and support.

We cannot update APKs for DouDou until further notice. We are working hard to fix this.

Signing is now fixed. Finar has been updated to version 2.0.0.

We have fixed the download links. Signing is still broken, and we will fix it as soon as we can.

We are aware that downloads are currently not working and Android signing is also not working. We are doing our best to fix this as quickly as possible.

Hello, it's been a while. Although I no longer work here, I still love Openlyst and the project. GitHub recently banned my account—which hosted Openlyst builds—for using the global site in China. I have created a new account and will be fixing the Openlyst builds soon. Goodbye, hope to see you again. — Zhenxi

HttpAnimations (Server Hoster/Lead Developer) will be relocating to rural China in about a month. As a result, the servers WILL go offline for approximately 1-2 days during the transition. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. In the meantime, you can always access our GitLab repository: https://gitlab.com/Openlyst

We now have an official AltStore repository! Add this URL to AltStore to easily install our iOS apps: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/JustACalico/Openlyst-more-builds@main/repo/apps.json

We have removed old builds from the main website. However, they are still available here: https://gitlab.com/Openlyst/openlyst/-/blob/main/src/lib/assets/yaml/repo.json?ref_type=heads

We've moved CI from GitLab CI to GitHub Actions because build reliability and build times were better for us there. If GitLab CI improves, we're open to moving back later.

Finar, our multi-platform Jellyfin client, is now on OpenLyst. Platform builds are added as they finish.

We are currently migrating all our services to our new home at https://openlyst.ink. Update your bookmarks!

Browse and install apps from AltStore-compatible repositories on Android and iOS*.

Docan, our cross-platform AI chat app, is now available.

BaoBao is being retired in favor of Klit, our new e621 client.

Doudou music player is now available across all platforms.
