Downloads / Unbolt Tools

Free, open-source tools. GPL-3.0 / Apache-2.0. No ads, no telemetry.

Six tools for Android and the desktop, built from source and tested on our own hardware. Every artifact is published with its size and SHA-256, and updated from one manifest — no account, no store, no lock-in.

GPL-3.0 source no account no trackers hash on every file
Source availability (Oct 2026): our GitHub account is caught in an automated spam filter and is awaiting manual review. Every tool now ships with a matching source tarball linked on its card, and the trees are mirrored to Codeberg. No source is behind a login.
How to install (APK sideload / .deb)

APK: download it on the phone, tap the file, allow “install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager, then tap Install. No Play Store, no account. The same steps apply to PolyQon, the Xposed module, Unbolt Hub and Unbolt Home — install the APK you downloaded; the module additionally needs LSPosed/Vector enabled.

Debian / Ubuntu: sudo apt install ./file.deb (or sudo dpkg -i file.deb), then launch it from the menu.

Windows: the .exe builds are standalone — no installer, no service, no bundled toolbars.
