Hey all, I would like to present to you my application, it is my first app which I released to market.
Clean, simple and material design on your device from android 2.3+
Nowadays, every website is vulnerable to hackers. So our data are not safe everywhere. You shouldn't have one, two or even three main passwords for all your accounts. If you want to feel safe you should have in each of them their own password, independent of the others. Password Creator will create it for you and make it easier to manage them.
Password Creator is an application which allow you easily generate and manage your unique passwords for everything. Additionally, you can change each list and generate a password, in its sole discretion. Additional options, such as exclusion and repeat will ensure that your password will stronger.
Built-in manager will help you remember all of your passwords, categorize them and keep in one place.
You can feel safe because passwords are stored in encrypted DataBase with AES algorithm (128Bit key - depends on your PIN). Additionally there is NO Internet connection permission, so you can be sure that your passwords never will leak outside your smartphone.
Manager and settings are safely because of main PIN which you have to only remember.
All these function in fully responsible and easy material design with backward compatibility to android 2.3.
Of course you can import and export your password, move them to other device - just do it with current PIN.
FEATURES of Password Creator:
• Fully editable lists from which you generate your password
• Categories with ability to define your own
• Manager to store all your passwords
• History of generated passwords if you want get one back
• Material design starting with version 2.3+
• No internet connection required
Full version:
• Unlimited passwords in the manager
• Unlimited history
• Unlimited categories
• Lists are editable

I will be very grateful for any feedback, not only if you have issues. All comments and ideas are welcome.
I am not responsible for any third party applications you have installed and can cause damage to your phone and data stored on it

Changelog:
1.0.6
- sort passwords ascending and descending
- visual improvments
- password modification dialog is closing now after update
1.0.3
- added Spanish
- PIN changes now correctly
- bug fixes
1.0.2
- generator also secured by PIN (everything to better secure your database) - next will be added AES128/CBC/PKCS5 as an option and passphrase as main PIN (in this case password)
- fixed stack in settings
- added Polish, Italian and Croatian langauge
- other fixes
1.0.1
- Bug fixes on tablets
- Updated app icon
- Other small fixes
- If you want help translate to other languages - contact with me
1.0.0 - initial release

Do you plan to translate into other languages?

Why not open source? Especially when it comes to privacy, passwords, etc. people want to know how it works. What are your apps' advantages worth mentioning over other free apps, let's say Twik?

The less you know the better you sleep
Seriously, there are two most important things:
NO INTERNET connection permission - you can be sure that in no magical way, your passwords do not leak
Material - created in accordance with the principles of Material design
I think that first point is the most important because I don't what happen with my data in other applications which require it. Twik need it for icons? They are too heavy to put it inside app? Maybe yes, but I don't have time to check code every update, is the code from the git is an application that I use. I checked several popular applications of this type and all have Internet Connection permission. They have over 100k users who probably don't know what is happening in app or after they closed it. I don't want to wake up one day and find that after last update my informations are circulating on the Web.
Other advanteges:
No ads
Additional options to generate password (eg you can define how many repeats should be max in row)
One again Material design which is good point in that app (available from android 2.3.3+)

Good work

Yes, if only there will be people who want to translate it to different languages.
Upcoming new version with fixes for tablets, rate bar. App is ready now to translate to different languages and prepared for future encrypting algorithm. Now is DES with 64bit key -> will be AES with 256bit key (both depends on your PIN of course)

Great App! Good looking!
Do you intend to support existing database format like keepass2 for example ?

Hello,
If you have a file with all the variables that needs to be translated, I can provide you the French version.

I have to check whether it is able to save decrypted database. But eWallet probably will be first one which will be supported.

Having no Internet permission is an absolutely good thing, but being open source those apps can be reviewed and even compiled without it, so it's not really as dramatic as you described. Twik also free of ads, but I agree with you that your app offers more possibilities of creating passwords.
But nonetheless, nice app

Your app looks good.
Just ask if you need a german translation

New update is available now. To better protect your data, generator must also be protected with PIN. I tested AES128/CBC/PKCS5 on my S3 and it is very slow but is better than DES encryption algorithm. Because most of user don't have any of top devices like Nexus 6, this algorithm will be added as an option. Here I have a proposal to add option to login to app once but only at your own risk. What do you think?

Is there anyone here who would like to translate the application to Spanish?

Thank you for such a productive application. I've been using this application for years. Really worth using it.
Keep improving it...
This is a must app in my app list...

I have been using this Application for years. All the functions are great.. Even though I began with Monetal windows, Currently am using Monetal Android.
This app is first on my cant live without app list.
Keep improving it..
Thank you for such an app...

Hi everybody. I have updated Monetal so new version of 3.16 is available in Google Play:
- new data storage system. It helps retore data after failures
- Roboto font builded in (for Xiaomi and other phones)
- BYR, TND, CLP currencies added
- bug fixes (sync algorithm, stability and more);

Thanks for the continuous support.
One feature I'd like to see is searching through the notes I enter with the expenses. Perhaps you use it in a different way.
Example. All paid bills are paid and tagged with Bills tag. I also put what bill it is (internet, mobile, utilities, etc.) in the note along with the expanse.
There is no way for us to filter only internet bills, unless we create a separate subcategory (sub-tag) for each of these different expenses.
Creating subtags, is that how you would go in this scenario?

Ok, I will add search for notes in the feature. And yes, now I solve this with category "Bill" and there subcategories "Intenet", "Phone", "Rent", my notes for Rent is August, September etc. So I see all bills payed, and if I expand it Monetal shows every subcategory. I think this way is more convient.
If you pay some rare payment, so choose Bill itself inside "Bill" category, and make a note. Thank you.

Ok, yes, that makes sense as well.
Search feature through notes is still missed though
Thanks.

Hi everybody,
new version 3.20 is available in Google Play. I have fixed a widget error, and added new feature Wallets which will help to group accouts.
Wallets in Monetal
Wallets are used to group accounts in some sort of sets, which you can switch any time. For example, if you are traveling to Russia just add new wallet "InRussia" and add to it any accounts which you takes with you. Other accounts will be hidden. Switch to Total wallet again to see all accounts.
Wallets examples:
Total. Its general wallet which contains all accounts. Can't be deleted
MyTravel. All accounts you will use in travel
Cards. Bank cards
My accounts. If you are using syncing with other devices its useful to have this wallet.
To create wallet you need more than three accounts. Tap Total in accounts list screen and follow instrictions.
Feel free to ask any questions about Monetal here. Thank you.

You know what I've noticed, that one cannot have the same category in both expense and income.
I'd like to have the ability to assign both incomes and expenses to one the same category.
Is it something that's doable?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Monetal doesn't allow you to have the same category in each income and expense mode., due to internal structure and developing simplicity. But you are welcome to add some sorts of "." or even space to category.
What is tag that you want to have in both categories? May be I can suggest another decision. Thank you.

Thanks. I have a budget for purchasing and reselling and I would like to track it, without making it a separate account.

Yes, unfortunetely it seems you have to create two different tags like "MyStorePurchase" and "MyStoreSales". This way will let you to track them separetly. I don't plan to let user create similar tags, there are a lot of changes will need inside the code. Thank you.

Thanks

Presenting the Future of Push Services - OwnPush

OwnPush
We know that push messaging is a key tool for developers to keep users engaged with their apps/services and to deliver timely content. Right now there's little or no choice in the way of push services outside of Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), which is a problem if you value control and security or want to reach the billion-or-so users without access to Google Mobile Services on their devices. As a result of working on XDA Labs and a few other internal projects, we at Fastboot and XDA have built an alternative to GCM that we want to make generally available.
OwnPush is:
- End-to-end encrypted: With GCM, all messages go through Google, which acts as the gatekeeper between developer and user. We know that Android users value their privacy, and OwnPush messages are encrypted (seamlessly and by default) from the developer's server, all the way through to the end device. This means that we (and anyone else in the path) can't get into your push messages. Like it should be.
- Simple to use: Push messages can be delivered to any device running Android, whether tablet or phone. It works over Wifi or mobile data, and it's very simple to use. To aid in implementing OwnPush in your applications, we will be providing libraries for major backend platforms to help with handling the encryption and signing process.
- Battery-light: GMS is fairly heavy on the battery, as it's got a huge number of features tied together, including location logging and Google accounts. OwnPush is as lightweight as possible.
We are still finishing things off, but we're looking to start working with developers on helping them integrate OwnPush in their apps. In the spirit of XDA, we'll be making it open source, although we need to finalize the details. You'll be able to include our (tiny, open source, easy-to-read) library in your app, and the rest will come automatically. We'll be working on some simple integration guides for the server side, so it's easy to send push messages using almost anything.
Below is a high-level overview of how ownPush works.

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
What can this be used for?
OwnPush has the capability to be the driving force behind some really cool ideas, from a fully open-source PC-to-phone push system, to building real-time secure messaging platforms. OwnPush can do everything that other options can do, and it's more secure to boot! OwnPush enables you to keep your users informed while not impacting battery life. We hope that the uses for OwnPush are limited only to your imagination.
Open source tools are easier to work with, tweak and play with, and learn from. There's no reason to use the proprietary Google Services library just to get push messages working! Coupled with XDA Labs, you can start to build an ecosystem without relying on Google at all, and without them being able to shut your developer account down!
About Fastboot Mobile
We're a small, venture-capital free business. No external influences or pressures on how we work. We're developers like you, and we believe in giving people a real choice.
If you're interested in this, and want to get involved and have a play, please let us know via the thread or our contact form. At the moment, we're also looking to raise awareness of the technology behind OwnPush to the wider community. Together, we can make the default for push messaging secure, and perhaps even bring about an end to sending "secure login tokens" via SMS messages! We're looking to bring OwnPush to as many people as possible, so if you (or your business) have a need for properly secure push messaging, please get in touch.

OwnPush Usage Examples
OwnPush Performance Examples
For an example of what OwnPush can offer regarding battery savings, we setup a test with a Nexus 9 over a 20hr period. The test application used OwnPush to keep alive a server connection (typical ping <-> pong) once every 4-5 minutes and a push notification randomly sent every 2-10 minutes
Nexus 9 CPU usage over 20hrs running OwnPush
Application Resource usage
Google Services Resource usage over same time period

This looks great, thank you . The one thing I don't see mentioned anywhere is the possibility of self hosted servers. Is this something which you currently have plans for? I think it would be a bit odd to offer such a great decoupling from Google, only to replace that coupling with Fastboot Mobile. The option of self hosted push servers is even more critical when you think of the possible issues Fastboot Mobile may face down the line. With no obvious business model, what guarantee do we as developers have that the ownPush servers will still be around 2yrs from now? GCM on the other hand is backed by Android developers themselves, and has become such a critical infrastructure that we're essentially guaranteed its existence for years/decades.
Edit: The developer talked about this on reddit. You can find the discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/440euy/ownpush_open_source_endtoend_encrypted_push/czmfgnl

OwnPush Demo Applications
Hello All,
We are happy to provide some more information about OwnPush today
Everyone involved with OwnPush has been hard at work getting the service to a level that we can demonstrate to the world, this has ended in the creation of two demo applications that we have published over the weekend.
These demo apps are as follows :-
RSS Demo
An RSS web service and corresponding android application, the webservice checks the RSS feed (BBC World News) rapidly and when a new item becomes available it is pushed with a link to the android application over OwnPush. The android application then shows the notification to the user. This demo shows the power savings that can be gained by using OwnPush.
OTP Demo
This demo is constructed from a simple web service and its android application counterpart. This makes use of the secure nature of OwnPush to send fast, safe, and secure passwords to an Android device. After the apk is installed & registered on the android device the user is shown a short, unique device ID that they can enter on a simple web form. On submission of this form the OTP is randomly generated and sent to the device securely.
For both of these demo applications we have published APKs for you to install and the code for the web services and android app (allowing any developers an insight into how they can implement OwnPush when it is fully available)
To find out more about these demo applications please visit our website demo.ownpush.com

I have been searching for a replacement to GCM and I would like to say thank you and that this is amazing, i cannot wait to start using it!

We're excited to be able to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. Please reach out via our website so we can stay in contact. In addition, check out our GitHub for more information about the demos, implementation, etc.

I guess since there hasn't been any code changes on Github in 3 months I guess this project is dead?

Nope the project is far from dead, we have been working internally to get a full demo system up and running. We have also supplied test accounts and app registration information to a handful of developers to get some feedback on how we can improve the current system (outside of normal bugfixes ect.)
We have also worked on testing with the new doze implementation on N and general stability fixes within the android service
If anyone is looking for more information on OwnPush please don't hesitate to drop me a line via PM on her

I am currently using CM 12.1 GApps-free and microG as alternative to GApps. microG seems to have GCM functionality. Is this app works well with microG?

will you develop plugin for Unity to all mobile platforms?

Can work push other app notify or not? Thanks,,,

Any more developers/users want to see a new push service
after come across own-push, I'd like to make a push service or continue with something working
as a contractor, some of my Europe clients ( startups ) really want to find a clean google free app.
at the quality of commercial pushy. Yet, free and well-known will be better.
as a developer, I want to add iOS + web push support so that no need to manage too many platforms.
single server to server API + end-to-end encrypted by a good algorithm to ensure no MITM issue.
use UDP will be even more battery friendly
make a tiny open source service possibly acceptable by major open ROMs , so all apps share same socket and same service.
or as a short term goal, the first app start the service; other apps connect to it. ( concept borrowed from github.com/vieux/OpenUDID )

FAQ
Q: Why is it not possible to find an icon for a certain website?
A: This problem can occur due to multiple reasons. In most cases, the website does not offer a high-resolution icon. If you are a website maintainer and your website icon cannot be found, look at realfavicongenerator.net for further information. If you think it should work, feel free to post the URL and I will look into it.
Q: Why would I need this app if any mobile browser can do the same?
A: Mobile browsers usually only are able to create shortcuts which give a native, borderless fullscreen experience if the website has a Progressive Web App (PWA) manifest. Unfortunately, most websites do not offer this feature yet.
Q: Can I keep multiple log-in sessions of the same website?
A: Yes, this is possible using the sandbox feature of Native Alpha Plus.
Q: Why isn't the sandbox feature in Native Alpha Plus enabled by default?
A: The sandboxing approach is recommended for specific usage rather than general usage because it can limit the performance of the application and increase the disk usage. Therefore, use it for privacy-invasive websites or websites where you want to be logged in twice, but not for any website just because you can.
Q: IIs this app a dedicated web browser with its own browser engine?
A: No. As stated, this app relies on the system built-in Android WebView in order to display the website. For privacy reasons, you can opt to use alternative webviews such as Bromite on rooted phones. Always make sure to use to most recent version of any WebView implementation you use!
Q: In constrast to your promise, this app has a large memory footprint!
A: This is because Native Alpha makes use of caching in the same way your browser app does, i.e., it saves web content locally on your device. Then it can be loaded faster if you visit the same page again. I will look into a way for better cache management. In the meantime, you can either delete cache regularly yourself or set the "Clear cache after usage" setting in the global settings if memory footprint is a concern for you. However, then websites will take a longer time to load because everything has to be loaded from net.
A list of used open-source libraries can be found inside the app ("About" section).

Looks great in first try - seems a bit smoother than the pwa from my Site! Thank you!

Hi, thanks for sharing the app, can you please look into Hermit app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chimbori.hermitcrab
Its similar and had few additional features that are helpful.

I get an error page saying "net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED" whenever I follow a link to an HTTP page.

Thanks for pointing that out. It is a security feature of Android WebView to block HTTP pages but I will offer an global option to override that behaviour (and probably enable it by default).

Just wish you could save the site as a APK.

I wish each webapp had its own cookie container Now if I create a youtube web app and then create a gmail webapp and signin, the youtube also gets signed in.

It is definitely on my backlog to have a better separation between the apps. It is probably not possible regarding cache but it should work to flush and reload first-party cookies from disk for every app separately. Didn't make it to first release because the WebView implementation (as any other browser I know) does not offer this cookie separation natively.

Will you put the app on F Droid or XDA Labs?

Yes, shouldn't be a problem to have it released via F-Droid.

You've done a great work here, well done

This is a big one for me too. I could see myself mostly using this for demos and things at work, and we don't often go through the trouble of using HTTPS. Really nice project though!

Hi, Can you please add 'Backup' and 'Restore' feature? If we have to reinstall the app it will be easy to get all the saved webapps back. Thanks for sharing.

Dont't worry, that feature will be coming for sure. After all, I really need it myself
Thanks for all the positive feedback and suggestions, I will release a new version with HTTP support and a few other things on Wednesday or Thursday this week.

New release
Hi,
I just released a new version on GitHub.
Changelog:
HTTP connection handling: Added an option "Allow HTTP" on Web App level. Upon establishing a HTTP connection for the first time, the user gets a prompt and can decide to allow HTTP within the currently opened Web App (i.e., the user will not get prompted again).
SSL error handling: Alert dialog is shown, the user is advised to leave.
Data savings: Added options to send "Save-data" HTTP header and to block the loading of images.
Redesigned and restructured the Web App Settings + Global Settings page.
Added PayPal donation button to About page.
Next up: Improve test coverage, prepare the app for F-Droid release.
Stay tuned for further improvements

Awesome app!
Can you add an option to add a custom icon to websites?

Yes, custom icons are already on my backlog
I submitted the app to F-Droid today, but I suppose it can take a while until they actually confirm the inclusion in their repo. Anyway, I will continue to offer the APK on GitHub at least until I implemented the backup/import settings feature so early adopters can switch from GitHub to F-Droid deployment easily.

Hello !
I've been looking to do that manually for some time, your app does the work really well ! Great job !
As a suggestion, it would be great if we could add shortcut in the app drawer, not only homecreens.

Hi, I am afraid there is no possibility to add shortcuts to the app drawer dynamically for Android Oreo or newer. All shortcuts besides the main app shortcut must be pre-defined and baked into the APK.

[APP][5.0+] Sh-ort -- URL Shortener

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sh-ort is a how I reimagined a URL Shortener app using Material Design to build a branded experience, through UI and Motion.
There are several apps that take care of shortening urls, and they are great at what they do but they all have more or less the same design and are a little boring.
Also when you have many urls it is difficult to manage the statistics well and to have everything at hand, maybe a general overview of how your links are performing would be fantastic - I thought - and also give the user the possibility to render the entries in the list more recognizable thanks to the preview of the article, or of the page whose URL you have shortened.
Then I thought about who could use the app, to a tempt who perhaps manages several websites for work, and who might want to see how the links belonging to the same site perform.
I have created a small app that attempts to improve the experience with URL shortener, through its structure (overview, all links, best links), the ability to filter links based on the site they belong to, the date, or whether they are added to favorites or not.
The details department is still in its early stages but you can have the complete statistics on clicks already by default, without the need for a subscription as happens in major similar apps.
Of course there is still a lot to improve, so I trust in your feedback to find bugs and to add features that I missed in this first release.
There is a complete lack of translations in all languages and dark mode, which will be implemented once the app has reached a modest number of functions and use cases, making it an attractive app for the average and pro user.
Find more information on my app design and branding process in the Medium article linked below, as well as the link to download the app.
I look forward to hearing from you and your feedback, thanks for your attention.

can you use it on the computer?

I don't care about tracking, do I still have to use a Google account?

For the moment I am focusing on the android app, but in future I may extend to web and other platforms

Hello, the login part has nothing to do with tracking, it is simply used to let the user create collections of short urls on the server, and sync it across devices.

I've tried this app and it is really amazing compared to Bitly android app.
Thanks, Mirko!

Sorry, I meant syncing and saving, not Google tracking me.
Just installed/uninstalled, the app won't even start without a Google login.
I'm not interested in saving, collecting, or syncing shortened URL's, just sending “one and done” links from my phone. Can you tweak this to eliminate the login?

The app is designed to assign an owner to every short url so the owner can check the short url performance. If you are not interested in stats means that this is not an app that fits your needs.

True, no problem. I'm not your target user.

For some reason that app force closes every time I try to load it. Tried clearing cache/data & even uninstall/reinstall. Android 10 stock, w/ magisk

Hello, thanks for reaching out but I cannot guess what is the problem just knowing your android version. For sure I can say that have not passed at least 3 hours yet since you got crashes because the crash console is flat.
Write your device model and as soon I get the report I can see what s wrong and eventually I will fix it.

The app code is obfuscated, I don t know if you would actually get something useful from it. But giving a try doesn t cost anything, right?
you can find the email where to send the log in the Google Play page of the app
Edit: by the way, the package name is it.mirko.sh_ort if you want to clean your log
