Aleph

Aleph

Aleph is a fork of the official Mastodon Android app that adds a few features the official app is missing.

Introduction

Aleph tracks the upstream app and adds:

  • UnifiedPush support, so push notifications work without Google Play Services.
  • Post content type selection (plain text, Markdown, HTML) in the compose screen, with a per-account default, when the server advertises support for it (glitch-soc).
  • A bookmark button in the post actions, with boost, favorite and bookmark each taking their own color when active.
  • Delete and redraft in the post menu, deleting a post and reopening its text, content warning, media, poll and quote in the compose screen, ready to be posted again.
  • The content warning of a post is carried over when replying to it, whoever wrote it, like the web app does.

Everything else behaves like the official app.

Get the APK from the Releases section, or build it yourself. An F-Droid release is coming soon.

⚠️ Some Aleph features are written with the help of generative AI (under human review).

Building

As this app is using Java 17 features, you need JDK 17 or newer to build it. Other than that, everything is pretty standard. You can either import the project into Android Studio and build it from there, or run the following command in the project directory:

./gradlew assembleRelease

Contributing

Issues and pull requests about Aleph features are welcome here. Anything that belongs to the official app should go upstream instead.

Translations are still handled upstream through Crowdin. Aleph-only strings live in values/aleph_strings.xml; do not modify the upstream strings.xml files.
