Editor's Overview

textlog is a internet application developed by Serge Kamel, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.8 weighing in at 18.7 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 18.7 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Serge Kamel" — 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

A community-built client for textlog.cc, a small, text-first place to write short notes and follow the people and hashtags you care about.

The website already works on a phone. This exists because a community deserves a way in that belongs on the device: native scrolling, a live feed of new posts, threads you can follow with your thumb, and posts that render exactly as they do on the web. Nothing more. No algorithm, no metrics, no accounts of its own.

Reading
• The hot and latest feeds, plus a live firehose of new posts as they are written
• Nested threads you can fold, with a flat view for when five levels of indent is four too many on a phone
• A whole thread in one request, and threads kept for the session so going back costs nothing
• Feeds join a reply to its parent when both are on the page, so one conversation is one block
• Profiles, hashtag pages, and people and hashtags to explore
• Server-side search, plus a filter for a timeline you already have

Writing
• Post, reply, edit and delete; follow, block and report
• Drafts kept on the server, so one started on the website is here too
• Polls you can vote in, and quizzes that tell you whether you got it and why
• #todo checklists you tick from the post itself

Posts render the way the site renders them
Inline and fenced code, LaTeX, markdown links, bold, underline, italics, strikethrough, redactions you press to reveal, quoted lines, spoilers, link previews, and ASCII art kept on its own line grid. Optional block markdown — headings, lists, tables — on top, for the structure the site keeps flat.

Notifications
Replies, mentions and follows, with a reply field and a mark-read button in the notification itself. textlog has no push endpoint an app can reach, so these come from a background poll: honest, and battery-cheap, but not instant. The setting says so rather than implying a schedule Android does not keep.

Made to be read
Light, dark, sepia and dracula themes, a choice of accent colour, three monospace faces and four text sizes. A barebones mode swaps every icon for a character and turns off ripples and animation, for a reader who wants the terminal and not the app.

No account of its own, and nothing phoning home
It talks to textlog.cc and nothing else. No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, and no Google Play Services — notifications are raised locally rather than through Firebase.

Signing up stays in a browser on purpose, because that is where the server keeps its abuse controls.

Free software under the GNU AGPL v3, the same licence as textlog itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is textlog safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Serge Kamel. 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 textlog?
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.
