IPFS Lite node with modern UI to support standard use cases of IPFS
About this app
# Odin
**Odin** is a decentralized peer-to-peer application via the **BitTorrent** network stack. For sharing data, a **pns://** URI is provided, which consists basically of a peer id, which enables others to find your node on the network.
## General
The basic characteristics of the app are decentralized, respect of personal data, open source, free of charge, transparent, free of advertising and legally impeccable.
## Documentation
**Odin** is a client server implementation and based on the BitTorrent network.
The application itself requires the **IPv6** protocol to function properly. When you are behind a router you might be able to switch to the **IPv6** protocol and make the necessary settings, so that your service is globally reachable (Port Forwarding).
### Port Forwarding
Port forwarding allows you to specify that all communications received on a certain port are forwarded directly to your device. You set port forwarding rules up on your router. The following list provides information which might be required for the port forwarding.
- **Interface** IPv6 Note: Only IPv6 is supported, because a direct connection between two peers can only be established when they use the same IP interface - **Port** 5001 - **Protocol** TCP Note: The protocol is TCP. The direct connection between two peers will be established via a secure TCP connection, protected by a self-signed certificate. - **Application** Odin Note: Usually can be any name
### Concept
The application connect to **BitTorrent** network and publish its addresses, so that it can be found by other peers via a unique identifier (pid). This peer identifier () is also used for marking the content via the**pns:///** URI. (Note: is a content identifier)

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 threads.server 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, 3.6.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Odin 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 Odin, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
