Editor's Overview

Tine is a note application developed by Martin Koutecký, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.6 weighing in at 46.04 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 46.04 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Martin Koutecký" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Tine is a fast, local-first outliner that reads and writes a real Logseq
Markdown (and Org) graph on disk. It aims to feel like — and round-trip with —
Logseq: the outliner, tasks and priorities, journals, page and block references,
queries (with a visual builder), PDF and media, and HTML export.

About the permissions Tine asks for:

All files access — Tine edits an ordinary folder of Markdown files that you
choose and keep wherever you like: a Syncthing folder, an SD card, a shared
Documents directory. Android's restricted storage model offers no way to grant
an app read-write access to a tree of plain files that other apps also write
to, so full file access is what makes a real on-disk graph possible. Tine
touches only the graph folder you point it at.

Network access — Tine has no accounts, no server of its own, and no sync
service; it does not phone home and collects no analytics. The permission is
used only to load remote content that is already in your own notes: images and
media you linked by https:// URL, and embedded YouTube or Vimeo players if you
paste such a link. If nothing in your notes points at a remote URL, Tine makes
no network requests of its own. The F-Droid build additionally has the online
plugin catalogue compiled out, so plugins and themes can only be installed from
local files.

DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION — this one is not really Tine's. It is
added automatically by Google's AndroidX libraries, it is declared by the app on
itself at signature protection level, and it grants nothing to anyone: it exists
so those libraries can keep their internal broadcast receivers private to the
app rather than exposing them to other apps. It shows up in the list because
F-Droid displays every permission found in the manifest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tine free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Tine require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Tine safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Martin Koutecký. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Tine?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
