Yoke

Download Yoke

Latest release, for Android 8 and newer.

  1. Open the file you downloaded.

    Android asks once whether your browser may install apps. Allow it, then tap Install.

  2. Make Yoke your home app.

    Press the home button and choose Yoke, or go to Settings, Apps, Default apps, Home app.

  3. Point it at your Obsidian vault.

    Swipe left, tap "Pick vault folder" and choose the folder Syncthing keeps in sync. Yoke finds your Cockpit board's columns there.

  4. Turn on double tap to lock, if you want it.

    Locking uses Android's accessibility service and nothing else. Because Yoke isn't installed from a store, Android 13 and newer first need App info, the three-dot menu, "Allow restricted settings".

Every release is built and signed by GitHub Actions from the public source. The SHA-256 of each APK is published next to it as yoke.apk.sha256, and the signing certificate's SHA-256 is c1c53f01f674494483aa0cb16b0190c4ccbe736840580c383c18bc88510ad4da.
