Download EinkBro

16.6.0

Features

• Site settings: per-site Images switch — turn image loading off for just one site, applied on every navigation within it (#634)
• Site settings: per-site on/off switches for custom CSS and post-load JavaScript
• Theming: the toolbar's page-facing edge is drawn as a real themed border, and the load-progress line renders the theme's separator pattern in the accent color
• Theming: dividers inside dialogs follow the theme's border style (dashed, double rule, perforation, hand-drawn wobble…), with a little more breathing room around dialog content

Improvements

• Menu dialog: section subtitle labels are removed — the themed dividers already separate the groups

Fixes

• Security: the translation JS bridge is gated behind a native per-session token, so untrusted pages can no longer call it to spend your OpenAI/Gemini API key
• Favicons are fetched from the document itself and stored under the correct host, so an icon can no longer end up on another site's bookmarks, history, tabs or start page; bookmark long-press gains "Refresh icon"
• Long-press menus (bookmarks, links/images, text selection) open above the finger instead of underneath it
• Bookmarks: the edit dialog renders in the themed window, so it shows the selected border style
• Bookmarks: the dialog no longer grows past the screen height, keeping the bottom action bar visible

16.5.0

Features

• Theming: accent colors (7 presets or a custom hue-wheel color), border styles (classic, round, sharp, paper, dashed, stamp, sketch, certificate, sticker, or none), and fills (tonal, adjustable gradient, or subtle patterns) — applied live across the whole app, with an Invert colors mode
• Theming: the Android 12+ splash screen and the built-in start page follow the selected theme; settings screens tint the status bar to match

Improvements

• Touch area page-turn hints are drawn with rounded corners instead of a dashed box

16.4.1

Features

• Site settings: rules can now be scoped to a URL path (e.g. example.com/docs) as well as a whole host, with the most specific rule winning field by field; the editor shows where each inherited value comes from, and Settings > Site Settings gains a "Configured sites" list to review, edit or remove every rule in one place

Fixes

• Security: the userscript bridge's GM_openInTab only opens http/https URLs, and file:// pages can no longer read other local files or other origins by default (the "Remote content" setting now defaults to off). Defense in depth for GHSA-rcv7-662w-4gvr; the reported navigation vector was already closed in 16.3.2
• Site settings: rules restored from a backup are merged into existing ones instead of being skipped, and take effect without restarting the app
• Site settings: same-document navigations (pushState, hash changes, redirects) re-apply the rules for the new path

16.4.0

Improvements

• App size: the arm64 APK shrinks from 6.2 MB to 4.4 MB (−29%) by dropping the Material Components, WorkManager and AppCompat libraries and packaging only the 31 languages the app is translated into
• Ad-block engine: the native library is 77% smaller (1.1 MB → 267 KB per ABI) and regex filter rules are now matched, so lists that use them block more
• Ad-block filter lists: a freshly downloaded list takes effect immediately instead of after the next app restart, updating a list you had switched off keeps it off, and a download interrupted by the app being killed resumes on the next launch

Fixes

• Bookmark dialog no longer appears as a small empty panel and then slides into place when opened
• E-ink image cache now really honours its 16 MB budget (it used to count images, not bytes) and is shared across tabs; oversized intercepted images no longer risk out-of-memory

16.3.2

Fixes

• Userscripts: the GM bridge is now reachable only by installed userscripts — ordinary web pages can no longer invoke native GM functions such as writing to the clipboard

16.3.1

Fixes

• Hide-statusbar mode: the url input bar no longer bounces up and down above the keyboard on Android 10 and older devices

16.3.0

Features

• Vertical toolbar mode now shows the tab bar, in its own horizontal strip beside the toolbar

Improvements

• Translating a page paragraph by paragraph starts almost immediately — a long article used to sit for seconds before the first translated line appeared
• Translated pages stay responsive on sites that keep loading content (ads, infinite scroll, live tickers)

Fixes

• Starting paragraph translation no longer shifts the page sideways or changes the text size
• Vertical toolbar mode: the tab strip is hidden along with the toolbar when entering fullscreen or opening the keyboard
• A single subresource served over broken TLS can no longer navigate the whole tab away from the page you are reading
• Android 10: downloads to the public Download folder work again instead of failing with "Download link is not valid"
• AI: calls are routed to the right OpenAI endpoint per model, fixing agent tasks failing on the first turn with gpt-5.6 models and gpt-4.1 actions breaking on a non-default reasoning effort

16.2.2

Fixes

• Android 8.x: long-pressing an image no longer freezes the entire device — the system drag WebView 131+ starts on image long-press (a known unfixable WebView regression on Android 8) is now blocked (#629)
• Reader mode / translated pages: the custom font size option in the font dialog opens the size input again instead of the custom font picker (#631)
• Finished APK downloads open the system Files app instead of failing to launch the package installer

16.2.1

Features

• Restoring a backup (from Google Drive or a zip) now merges into local data instead of replacing it: bookmarks, site settings, userscripts, AI query results, chat sessions, video transcripts, highlights, and saved pages are appended — locally created data is never deleted, and restoring the same backup twice adds no duplicates

Fixes

• Android 15+: the address bar input no longer opens hidden behind the keyboard
• Start page: scrolling the search suggestion list no longer accidentally opens the item under the finger
• Android 15+: toolbar and tab bar spacing no longer miscounts the system bar sizes, and the toolbar settings screen stays clear of the 3-button navigation bar
• Android 16: rotation lock and fullscreen video orientation keep working on large-screen devices
• intent:// links from web pages are launched with browser-standard safety restrictions

16.2.0

Features

• Start page: tap the title to rename the heading or set a background image picked from your device
• Start page: follows the app's dark mode, and a background image picks the light/dark theme from its brightness
• Start page: the background image anchors to the bottom of the screen

Fixes

• Android 15+: web pages, settings screens, and the toolbar no longer extend under the system status/navigation bars — with classic 3-button navigation the toolbar is tappable again; the start page keeps its full-screen background while its content stays clear of the status bar
• Text field dialogs show the keyboard and caret when opened
• Reader mode: titles no longer fall back to URLs from page metadata, and a link to the original page sits next to the reading time

16.1.1

Features

• Toolbar and tab bar hide automatically while the keyboard is up for web content, so the page keeps the remaining room; they return when the keyboard closes

Fixes

• Start page: the keyboard is no longer dismissed the moment the search box is focused on Android 17 devices

16.1.0

Features

• Built-in start page: a search box with the browser's own autosuggestions and a user-curated tile grid — add sites from bookmarks or by hand, tiles show the sites' favicons; available as a new-tab behavior option and the default homepage

Improvements

• All builds now target Android 16 (API 36)

Fixes

• Menus stay readable on big screens

16.0.0

Features

• AI agent can organize bookmarks: new agent tools add bookmarks and folders, and large bookmark lists are filed page-by-page so the agent stays reliable
• Custom AI agent tasks can now run on Gemini via its OpenAI-compatible API
• Thinking (reasoning) effort setting for AI, configurable globally and per AI action
• Translate dialog and Chat with Web show a live thinking status while the model reasons
• Audio-only mode can invert video canvas colors
• What's New in Settings opens this changelog

Changes

• All in-app self-update features are removed to comply with Google Play policy; the About screen keeps What's New and Contributors

Fixes

• Reopening an AI chat session restores its full conversation context, not just the visible messages
• Agent task transcripts no longer appear in Chat with Web history
• Transcription failures are reported clearly, Gemini streaming is parsed correctly, and a connection test was added to provider settings
• Download-complete dialog shows again on Android 14+

15.19.0

Features

• AI on YouTube: Page AI, Chat with Web, and summarize work on the video's caption transcript; videos without captions are transcribed with Gemini (when an API key is configured), with transcripts cached per video
• Userscripts can be exported/imported as a zip compatible with other userscript managers, and are included in app-data backup and Google Drive sync
• AI chat sessions are stored in the app database, survive WebView storage clearing, and are included in backup/restore and Drive sync; backup and restore dialogs show per-category sizes
• Web pages with their own read-aloud buttons now speak through the app's TTS engine (system, Edge-TTS, or OpenAI)
• Paragraph translations are cached for 7 days, so revisited pages translate instantly
• Bookmarks grid: long press shows the context menu and lets the finger slide onto an action, triggering it on lift

Fixes

• Reader mode no longer blanks the page after following a link from a reader-mode page
• Site stylesheets are disabled while reader mode is showing, fixing collapsed layouts on some sites
• Settings rows and menu cells grow with larger system font sizes instead of clipping text
• Pages no longer freeze with unloaded content after returning to the app
• About screen no longer shows a stale build timestamp

15.18.0

Features

• Sync with Google Drive: back up and restore app data from Backup settings; sign-in runs entirely in the browser, no Play Services required
• Site Settings dialog: per-site AdBlock, Cookies, JavaScript, and desktop mode overrides for the current site; whitelist entries can be edited by tapping; full-screen layout on phones
• Vertical (CJK) reading mode overhaul: reliable toggle on/off, page turns snap to line boundaries, tate-chu-yoko and better CJK typography, and reader layout settings now apply in vertical mode
• Reader layout settings dialog on long-press of the reader mode icon: live page margin, line spacing, two-column landscape, font shortcut; reader mode options consolidated there
• E-ink image optimization: fast CSS-filter mode and a live preview dialog in settings
• Editing a search result URL prefills just the search query, for all built-in engines and custom ones

Improvements

• Font and style changes apply immediately without reloading the page
• Renamed "GPT Settings" to "Gen AI", "Statusbar" to "Info bar", and "Start Control" to "Site Settings" in all languages

Fixes

• Clear-on-exit now really clears cookies and site storage
• Desktop mode presents a complete desktop Chrome fingerprint, so sites no longer serve the mobile/app-jump page
• Fullscreen video respects the system rotation lock
• Location prompt waits for the Android permission dialog, so geolocation no longer breaks until restart
• Translation: fixed a freeze on pages with many visible paragraphs, dropdown menus no longer get corrupted, on-screen content translates first, and the Google widget's "Original text" popup is suppressed
• Reader mode keeps code blocks whose identifiers are hyperlinks
• Keyboard opens again in the save-file and Instapaper dialogs

15.17.0

Features

• AI agent tool upgrade: the LLM agent can now read a page's real HTML source, run JavaScript on the live page, search the web, and export multi-chapter EPUBs
• Double-click a volume key to go back (opt-in gesture setting; single tap still turns the page, long-press still adjusts volume)

Improvements

• Compose performance pass: far fewer recompositions in the toolbar, tab overview, context menu, TTS dialog, GPT query list, and adblock list; favicon bitmaps are cached
• Config screens share a common scaffold and follow the app locale

Fixes

• In-place translation no longer requests each paragraph twice
• "Allow video autoplay" setting now actually blocks autoplay on feed sites
• Fullscreen on Android 11+: system bars swipe in transiently and restore symmetrically when leaving fullscreen
• Fixed three WebView lifecycle leaks; background tab WebViews are detached and hidden properly
• Closing all tabs is now a single batch operation
• In-progress edits in config screens survive rotation; GPT action dialog no longer wipes typed fields
• Two-pane layout keeps its arrangement and split ratio across orientation changes
• Toolbar and status-bar clocks tick once per minute, aligned to the minute
• Highlights export no longer mixes up article IDs
• Hardware Enter in the URL bar no longer submits twice; D-pad focus navigation works when page-turn keys are off
• Many other small UI fixes from a full audit (HTTP-auth password masking, font boldness slider, FAB position, drag smoothness, tab focus border)

15.16.0

Features

• GPT settings reorganized into a hub with per-provider sub-pages
• Userscript UI: browse-scripts link and quick access to settings

Fixes

• Settings screen stays in the browser task instead of opening a separate one
