About this app

Aucards is a free and open-source app where you can create colorful communication cards to help you communicate with others.

App is based on the concept of "autistic cards", which people with special needs use to quickly communicate their feelings, their requests or inform others of their conditions.

If you've ever experienced the need to say something when you couldn't, for example, in a moment of autistic shutdown, when you are too overwhelmed to speak, then this app is for you. It is designed to be as frictionless as possible to minimize the effort needed to express what you feel right now.

Highlights:

• Create an endless amount of cards with unique messages

• Choose any color from a rich palette – or create your own!

• Organize your cards however you like: drag them around or add to favourites

• Easy to use: just tap on the card to open it in fullscreen!

• Bring your cards to any device: easily export and transfer them wherever you like

• Play a sound to let others know you want to say something

• Completely free, open source and no ads – ever!

Who can benefit from this app:

• People with autism/adhd

• Children who have difficulties with verbal communication

• Elderly people who need assistance

• Or anyone in a situation where you can't speak: on a loud concert or a lecture!

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 vadimerenkov.aucards 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

No earlier build is on record for Aucards, so there is nothing to roll back to yet. When a second version is published, this section will explain how to move between them safely.

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 Aucards, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
