Android Beta
Test Plainva on your phone
Plainva is coming to mobile, and you can help shape it. The mobile app opens the same Markdown vault as the desktop app and keeps it in sync through your own cloud — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV/Nextcloud or S3. No account with me, no extra subscription.
The beta runs through Google Play's testing program. The test is open — you need no invitation and no group to join.
Two ways in
Through the test link
Open the test link on your phone, tap Become a tester, then install Plainva from Google Play. Use the same Google account that your phone's Play Store is signed in with. It can take a few minutes after joining before the app shows up as available.
Or straight from the Play Store
Plainva is also listed on the Play Store as a beta. Search for Plainva there, or open the app page and install from it.
Good to know
- It's an early build. Keep a backup of your vault — just good sense with any beta.
- Your notes never leave your own cloud. Plainva has no server in the middle.
- Already on desktop? The mobile app syncs the very same vault, so your notes are simply there.

Bugs, rough edges and ideas are exactly what the beta is for. The best place is GitHub Discussions.
