PureHub is an offline-first utility collection for Android and the web. Instead of installing many single-purpose apps filled with advertising and tracking, you get 26 practical mini-app experiences, including the community hub, in a consistent interface.

Typical uses include scanning or creating a QR code, running a Pomodoro session, extracting text from an image, converting units, checking a level or compass, splitting a bill, tracking expenses, and following a guided breathing exercise.

PureHub is currently beta software. The web app is available now, and signed Android preview builds are published through GitHub Releases.

The flagship lineup now includes the Zen tools, QR Studio, the OCR + PDF Document Suite, Speaker Cleaner, the private Finance Suite, and the Compass + Level + Sound Sensor Suite.

Zen Habit, Zen Pomodoro, and Zen Breath now share a complete Zen Suite experience on web and Android. Pomodoro includes quick/custom focus sessions, private weekly rhythm tracking, and local soundscapes; Breath includes timed goals, accessible motion, optional cues, and private completion history.

Try it now

Start with the highest-demand workflows:

  • Bubble Level — flat and edge modes, local zero calibration, adjustable tolerance, and private sensor readings.
  • QR Studio — inspect, scan, create, and keep useful codes locally.
  • OCR Studio — turn camera pages into editable text and searchable PDF without a cloud account.
  • Download Android — signed APKs, checksums, and architecture-specific builds.

Product preview

Fresh screenshots below are captured from the signed Android 1.0.0-beta.50 build on a physical device. OCR Studio keeps the camera dominant, puts choices in a compact drawer, and supports offline Auto, English, Vietnamese, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese recognition.

Why this project exists

  • Free and calm: core mini-app workflows and the Android app remain ad-free; selected SEO converter pages on the public web may show one small native banner, with no interstitials, subscriptions, or surprise paywalls.
  • Privacy-first: local processing and on-device storage are preferred whenever the platform allows it.
  • Offline-first: the PWA caches its application shell; the Android app deliberately removes the INTERNET permission from release builds.
  • Open source: product decisions, releases, security limitations, and implementation are visible here.
  • Community-built: bug reports, device testing, roadmap votes, and contributions shape what gets improved next.

Privacy-first does not mean every feature has completed an independent security audit. In particular, Password Vault is experimental; read SECURITY.md and the internal vault review before storing sensitive data.

Platforms and architecture

Surface Stack Purpose
Web/PWA React 19, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS Installable multilingual web experience with offline support
Android Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, CameraX, Room, ZXing, ML Kit/Tesseract flavors Native offline-first app for Android 8.0+
Hosting/automation Vercel, GitHub Actions Web deployment, CI, signed Android releases, checksums, and privacy gates

The public app supports English, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Spanish routes. Spanish uses reviewed English SEO canonicals until dedicated Spanish SEO content is complete, avoiding thin duplicate pages. User content is stored locally for tools designed around private on-device workflows. The operator backend is deployed separately from a private repository and is not required to use the mini apps.

Run locally

Web app

Requirements: Node.js 24+ and npm.

cd pwa
npm install
npm run dev

Quality checks:

cd pwa
npm run lint
npm run build

Android app

Requirements: JDK 17 and the Android SDK for API 36.

./gradlew testStandardDebugUnitTest lintStandardDebug assembleStandardDebug
./gradlew testFdroidDebugUnitTest lintFdroidDebug assembleFdroidDebug

On Windows PowerShell:

.\gradlew.bat testStandardDebugUnitTest lintStandardDebug assembleStandardDebug
.\gradlew.bat testFdroidDebugUnitTest lintFdroidDebug assembleFdroidDebug

The Standard build keeps ML Kit OCR for recognition quality. The legacy fdroid flavor remains in source only to reproduce older releases; PureHub has discontinued F-Droid publishing and now targets Google Play testing. APKs are written under app/build/outputs/apk/standard/debug/. Production signing credentials are intentionally not stored in the repository; see ANDROID_RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md.

F-Droid publishing is discontinued. The active distribution path is the signed GitHub APK plus the AAB prepared for Google Play testing. See the distribution submission dossier.

Releases

The current release candidate is PureHub 1.0.0-beta.55. This update turns Lunar Calendar into a deeper daily tool with Vietnam UTC+7 and China UTC+8 modes, two-way conversion, personal lunar reminders, calendar event markers, widgets, encrypted backup/export, and richer offline moon data. Community now includes a clearly separated Pure Earn card that opens the external service without passing a PureHub account or device identifier. Android and the PWA share the updated violet presentation and four-language community copy. F-Droid publishing remains discontinued. Signed Android artifacts are published through GitHub Releases after CI, scanner checks, and physical-device verification. Each Android release provides:

  • a signed APK for testers;
  • an AAB for future store distribution;
  • SHA256SUMS.txt for integrity verification;
  • build provenance generated by GitHub Actions.

Android releases are prereleases while device coverage, accessibility, and workflows continue to mature. Download only from the PureHub download page or this repository.

Contributing and feedback

You do not need to write code to help. Useful contributions include:

  • reporting the device, browser/app version, tool, and exact reproduction steps for a bug;
  • testing a release APK and describing where the UI feels unclear;
  • suggesting a focused improvement to an existing tool;
  • improving translations, accessibility, tests, documentation, or implementation.

Start with CONTRIBUTING.md, use the issue templates, or join the Telegram community. Please follow the Code of Conduct. Security issues must follow SECURITY.md, not a public issue.

Current direction

The immediate priorities are reliability on real devices, deeper workflows for the most-used tools, accessibility, honest privacy boundaries, and community feedback. PureHub will remain free, open source, and ad-light on the public web while keeping the core tools distraction-free.

Latest web update

  • The PWA now has a controlled 500-URL SEO inventory with fixed converter pages, static content, canonical URLs, hreflang, tables, formulas, and FAQ structured data.
  • Command Center monitors sitemap reachability, URL counts, locale distribution, duplicate/query guards, and quantity-like converter URLs.
  • A single lazy-loaded Native Banner may appear below the content on SEO converter pages only. OCR, QR, camera, document workflows, and the Android app do not load that ad.
  • The web build uses code-split PDF dependencies so the initial PWA bundle stays separate from PDF tooling.

See the original 22-app flagship report for the previous catalog milestone, verification results, and video campaign status.
