Minimalist and immersive Chinese traditional poetry reader
About this app
SuFei (素扉) is a minimalist application dedicated to the immersive reading of traditional Chinese poetry. Designed with the philosophy of "Simple Elegance" (素) and "Opening the Door to Literature" (扉), it provides a digital space free from advertisements and social distractions.
Key Features:
• Immersive Reading: A refined layout optimized for classical texts, supporting built-in high-quality serif fonts (Noto Serif SC) and a traditional paper-like reading feel across all Android versions.
• Daily Encounters: Discover a curated piece of poetry every hour. Our smart algorithm extracts the most evocative and semantically complete lines, presented in a beautiful vertical layout.
• Comprehensive Library: Browse through a vast collection with a structured filtering system by dynasty, tune name (Ci-pai), and thematic tags.
• Personal Collection: Save your favorite pieces to your "Bedside" collection for quiet reflection at any time.
• Genre Awareness: Intelligent recognition of different styles (Shi, Ci, Qu), automatically tailoring the extraction and display logic to capture the soul of each genre.
• Modern Experience: Fully built with Jetpack Compose and Navigation 3, featuring fluid crossfade transitions and native support for Android 13+ predictive back gestures.
Experience the eternal beauty of classical Chinese literature in its purest form with SuFei.

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 dev.wceng.sufei 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, 1.5.2 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall 素扉 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 素扉, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets 素扉 do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
