Open source universal progress tracker
About this app
Pioneer is an open source tool to keep track of progress in an efficient way. Whether you are reading a book, .pdf, .epub, watching playlists, anime episodes, manga chapters, or anything else, Pioneer will act as one inventory to manage them, without relying on several different services for each.
It is not just a tracker for watchlists, you can use it as a counter in general since it is optional to specify a maximum value, and also to keep track of a goal, for example, "I am aiming to finish 3 tasks today".
Features:
- Material 3 dynamic theme - Local and offline progress tracking, no accounts or internet connection required - Adding, deleting, and editing progress - Privacy focused progress tracking app with no data collection, analytics, and telemetery - Optional description and maximum value - Import and export to CSV - Display tags and image

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.ki_bun.pioneer is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 2.1.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Pioneer first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Pioneer, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
