Every stable release includes a signed APK and a matching SHA-256 sidecar. Pre-releases are test candidates; the Latest release has passed Mora's exact-asset release gate.
- Open standard Markdown files from Android's file picker or another app, then resume from recent documents.
- Read with tuned typography, a quiet progress indicator, restored reading position, and adjustable font size, line height, and margins.
- Navigate long documents with an H1–H3 table of contents, current-section highlighting, and in-document search.
- Make light source edits with a mobile formatting bar, then save in place; Save As appears only when a new target or writable copy is required.
- Follow the device language and appearance, with English and Simplified Chinese UI, light/dark modes, dynamic color, and three launcher palettes.

Mora works with ordinary Markdown files through Android's Storage Access Framework. There is no account, proprietary document format, telemetry, or built-in cloud service. Your storage provider controls where a document lives; Mora keeps the document under your control.
Markdown raw HTML is escaped, unsafe URLs are sanitized, and the reader WebView does not expose a JavaScript bridge or local-file access. Remote images referenced by a document may still contact their host when rendered. See Privacy and Security for the complete boundaries.
Mora is not a vault or knowledge workspace. Backlinks, graph views, accounts, built-in cloud sync, and a plugin ecosystem are outside the current product scope.
Requirements:
- JDK 17 or newer (Android Studio's bundled runtime is supported)
- Android SDK 36
- Android Studio compatible with Android Gradle Plugin 9.3
Use the checked-in Gradle Wrapper:
./gradlew testDebugUnitTest lintDebug assembleDebugOn Windows:
.\gradlew.bat testDebugUnitTest lintDebug assembleDebugThe Debug APK is written to app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk.
Focused bug reports and improvements are welcome. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before proposing a large change. Current direction is recorded in ROADMAP.md, release history in CHANGELOG.md, and the signed-release process in docs/RELEASING.md.
