Android 8.0, one APK, and the address of your instance.

• An Android phone running 8.0 or newer.
• A Shiori 1.8.x instance you can reach, on your home network or behind https.
• Your username and password on that instance. That is the only account involved.

Open the downloaded file on the phone and allow installs from that source once. Your library arrives with the first sync.

Updating is the same file again: the new version replaces the old one and keeps everything you have saved.

Type the same address you would open in a browser: http://box:8080 or https://shiori.example.com. Nothing is guessed — if the scheme is missing, the app says so instead of quietly trying the other one.

Afterwards the address and username are remembered, and recently used servers are offered as suggestions. Sessions last thirty days, then the form comes back filled in.

Use https for any instance reachable from outside your home network.

The source, the issue tracker and the release notes live in one repository — nothing about the app is closed.

• Removing a tag, renaming and bulk edits are not there; adding a tag is.
• Articles are plain text: no images, no working links, no per-article styling.
• Every article is copied to the phone, so storage grows with your library; the background download can be switched off.
• Search looks at the copy on your phone, not at page bodies you never opened.
• One server and one account per install.
• Tested on a clean Android 16 image, not yet on physical phones — manufacturer quirks are still unseen.
• Changes made in the web UI arrive within twelve hours, or immediately on pull-to-refresh.

GPL-3.0-or-later: use it, read it, change it, share it. MyLinks is an independent client — it contains none of Shiori's code.

No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting. The only network traffic is to the instance you configured.
