About Mako

Built entirely in native Kotlin, runs fully on-device, avoids tracking, and keeps distractions to a minimum by emphasizing clarity and intentional interaction.

Privacy and F-Droid

F-Droid builds Mako from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.

No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
