Editor's Overview
Conduit is a remote access application developed by Grzegorz Witkowski, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.4 weighing in at 11.68 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.
Install Checklist
- Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
- File size is a light 11.68 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
- This build is signed by "Grzegorz Witkowski" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
- After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
- We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.
About this app
It is built for people who need terminals from a phone without creating an account, syncing credentials through a service, or paying a subscription to open a shell.
Connect to remote machines over SSH or Mosh, browse files with SFTP, or run a full Arch Linux shell right on the device - pacman and all - with no root and no remote server.
Features:
* SSH terminal sessions
* Local Arch Linux shell on-device (Android, arm64) with pacman, running unprivileged through proot - no root, no server; downloads an Arch Linux ARM image on first use
* Mosh roaming for unreliable mobile networks
* Tmux auto attach/create per host, with start directories, prefix keys, action shortcuts, and scrollback mode
* SFTP file browsing and export
* Import SSH private keys from a file, or generate an Ed25519 key on device
* Optional passphrase encryption for generated keys, with public-key copy and export
* OpenSSH FIDO hardware-key authentication, tested with YubiKey, with multiple hardware keys per host tried in turn
* External authentication that lets the SSH server authenticate you without saved credentials
* USB and NFC support for CTAP-compatible security keys
* Saved machine profiles with tags, search, and sorting by last connected, name, or date added
* Local credential and trusted host key storage
* Trusted host key prompts and key management
* App lock with device authentication when supported
* Tabbed terminal workspace
* Customizable key row with modifier, navigation, and function keys, key repeat, latching modifiers, and your own text and control-key shortcuts
* Fullscreen terminal mode
* Terminal themes
* Background keepalive through a foreground service
Conduit does not require a Conduit account and does not use a Conduit sync service. Saved connection profiles, credentials, and trusted host keys are stored on device using platform secure storage.
Mosh support requires mosh-server on the remote host and reachable UDP ports. Predictive echo is experimental and opt-in.
The local Arch Linux shell uses tooling packaged by Termux, including proot, proot-distro, busybox, tar, xz, and supporting libraries. Conduit's own source is Apache-2.0; bundled third-party components keep their own licenses. Source-offer details are in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES and third_party/source-offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Conduit free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.
What Android version does Conduit require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.
Is Conduit safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Grzegorz Witkowski. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.
How do I update Conduit?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).
Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
