PoketBrain is a lightweight (~700KB), secure, open source Android Markdown reader. I use it for Obsidian notes but it can work with your markdown files. Works fully offline, with no ads or tracking. Read plain .md files locally and keep full control of your knowledge.

PoketBrain 🧠

PoketBrain is an open source Android Markdown reader with syntax highlighting, designed to read documentation .md files securely and offline.

The project is built in public, using a relaxed vibe‑coding development style.

  • 🚫 No ads, no tracking
  • 🛠️ Open source

🧠 Philosophy

PoketBrain is intentionally simple. It focuses on:

  • Plain text
  • Local files
  • Minimal UI
  • Developer freedom

No accounts, no cloud, no lock‑in.


🤝 Contributing

This project welcomes contributions from day one.

You can:

  • Report bugs
  • Suggest features
  • Submit pull requests
  • Improve documentation

There is no strict process—just open an issue or a PR and join the vibe.


🤔 Why PoketBrain?

Most Markdown or note‑taking apps are bloated, cloud‑dependent, or locked behind accounts.

PoketBrain focuses on:

  • Plain text
  • Local storage
  • Fast access
  • Full ownership of your notes

It’s the mobile companion to your Obsidian vault.
