🔒 Kura

License: MIT Platform: Android Language: Kotlin Build Status

Kura is a lightweight, privacy-focused security layer for Android, designed to protect your apps with biometric and device-level authentication without the corporate bloat.


Important

🛑 THE ANDROID 16 PROTEST

Kura intentionally does NOT support Android 16 (API 36) or later. We refuse to comply with Google's mandatory "Verified Developer" registries and their systematic destruction of independent sideloading. This app is built for users who own their devices, not for corporations that want to rent them back to you. We stand for a truly open Android.


🔧 Building from Source

Prerequisites

  • Android Studio (Ladybug or newer)
  • JDK 17 (Required for latest Gradle/Compose)
  • Android SDK (API 24 to 35)

Build Steps

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/kys0ff/Kura.git

⚠️ Privacy & Security

Your privacy is sacred. Kura is built on a zero-trust model toward third-party servers.

  • No Tracking: No telemetry or "crash reporting" to Google/Firebase.
  • 100% Offline: No data ever leaves your device.
  • Transparent: Source code is fully auditable.

  • STAYING ON ANDROID 15 (Permanent)

  • Maximum: Android 15 (API 35)
