Hi there!

Voyager has been released to Google Play! You can check it out here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.vger.voyager

Please try it out and let me know what you think below! Because it's brand new, let me know if you have any problems relative to the web app and I'll try to fix them ASAP. And if you have time, leave a review, that helps Voyager gain exposure.

Why use the native Android version? Well, there's a couple main benefits:

  • The back button works much better!
  • Your browser history shouldn't be inundated with Voyager entries.

Please note, it's currently a slightly outdated version of Voyager. Hopefully it should update soon!

As for Apple peeps, that's still in progress. If you're on TestFlight and have an Apple Watch, check out the brand new Apple Watch app (coming very shortly in an update). It's quite simple at the moment, but kind of neat and useful!

What's the privacy and data concerns looking like for this app?

As far as I know. The app is open source, ad free and trackerless which means no data collection

Does open source mean it can't track you?

Not inherently. Open source means that the code used to create the software is accessible to all and can be looked at or used by anyone as long as they obey the license associated with the code. So while there can be trackers in open source code, since the code can be viewed by anyone, it is highly likely these trackers will be found and the application will be ostracised if that happens.
