Mindwtr is available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.dongdongbh.mindwtr
Download APK (Alternative)

iOS
Current Status
iOS is now available on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/mindwtr/id6758597144
TestFlight beta is also available: https://testflight.apple.com/join/7SMJCTSR
Options
- App Store (Recommended) — Install the stable release
- TestFlight — Install the latest iOS beta build
- Simulator builds — Available in the source code for development
- Self-build — Build and sign the app yourself with Xcode (Apple Developer account required for device signing)
However, maintaining the iOS version on the App Store requires a substantial annual fee (see the Apple Developer Program), which I currently cover out of pocket.
To ensure Mindwtr's continued existence and future development, your support is greatly appreciated! If you find value in the app, please consider supporting the project via GitHub Sponsors or Ko-fi.
