Editor's Overview

Snikket is a internet application developed by Matthew Wild, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.2 weighing in at 30.91 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

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 30.91 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Matthew Wild" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

Snikket is a personal messaging app designed for groups such as family, friends, clubs or small organizations. It can be used to text and call with contacts without handing over your data to large corporations. This works because, instead of a centralized server, each group has their own private Snikket server under their control.

To get started you can choose:

- Self-host your own Snikket instance using the open-source Snikket server software on any Linux server,
- Use the simple hosting service provided by the Snikket not-for-profit organization,
- Or join an existing instance of someone you know (they can send you an invitation).

Guides are available at the snikket.org website.

ℹ️ Important note: Unlike many other messaging apps, there is no centralized Snikket service. The app requires a Snikket instance or invitation to get started.

Both the app and the server are 100% free and open source software.

The Snikket Android app is based on the excellent Conversations project by Daniel Gultsch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Snikket 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 Snikket require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Snikket safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Matthew Wild. 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 Snikket?
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.
