Install Pachli
Choose a variant #
Pachli is available in two variants:
- Pachli is the regular variant, released every month.
- Pachli Current is the pre-release variant, with new features and bug fixes that benefit from wider testing. Installing Pachli Current and reporting any bugs you find is a very useful way to contribute to the project.
Pachli and Pachli Current can be installed at the same time and the two variants do not share any data.
Pachli #
Pachli is updated at least once a month, typically at the end of each month.
Install from Google Play, F-Droid, GitHub, or GitHub with Obtainium.
Each release has an associated article on this site and release announcement from the @pachli@mastodon.social account.
New releases appear on GitHub immediately.
New releases are typically approved on Google Play within 12-24 hours.
The release is then made available to an increasing percentage of the users every day. This helps catch issues that were not caught in Pachli Current.
| Day | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Release day | 10% |
| Release day + 1 day | 30% |
| Release day + 2 days | 70% |
| Release day + 3 days | 100% |
So the new release will normally be available to you within four days of the release announcement.
There is typically a 3-5 day delay before a new release is available on F-Droid.
Pachli Current #
Pachli Current is typically updated once or twice a week.
Pachli Current can be installed from Google Play, GitHub, or GitHub with Obtainium.
New releases appear on GitHub immediately.
