Before you start: this is a mobile app still in development. Check the project's GitHub releases page for the latest installable package (APK or build) for v0.5.3, since the README describes building it yourself from source with Node.js 24 and pnpm 12.2.1 if no ready-made release file is available for your device.

Why isn’t Cherry Studio Mobile on Google Play?
This is the mobile companion to Cherry Studio, published by its developers on GitHub rather than distributed through Google Play. The project README notes the app is still in development.
Is Cherry Studio Mobile safe?
Cherry Studio Mobile is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, so you can inspect the code on GitHub yourself. It is built with Expo and React Native and the README notes it uses custom native modules and requires a development client to build, so expect a developer-style setup rather than a simple one-tap install; some AI providers you connect may require their own account or API key and may charge for usage. Cherry Studio Mobile comes straight from its developer rather than through Google Play, so it hasn’t gone through Google’s app review. As with any app, check the permissions it asks for and install it if you’re comfortable with them.
How to install
