net-merge is a free, open-source tool that uses all your internet connections at the same time, instead of just one. On Android it combines Wi-Fi and mobile data so apps that open several connections at once, like web pages, torrents and cloud backups, can go faster.
Developer: net-merge (rohit267) · License: MIT (open source) · Price: Free
Before you start: when you open the app, tap the power button and then tap OK on the Android VPN permission prompt. This is required for net-merge to combine your connections; it does not send your traffic to any external server. You need Android 8.0 or newer, and only one VPN app can run at a time, so close any other VPN before using net-merge.

Why isn’t net-merge on Google Play?
The Android app is published by its developers on GitHub, in the net-merge/android repository, rather than on Google Play.
Is net-merge safe?
net-merge is open source (MIT license), and the Android APK linked here comes straight from the official net-merge/android GitHub releases page. The README notes the Android app is new and in beta, it uses a VPN permission prompt to work (though it does not route traffic through any server), and mobile data stays switched on while it runs, so keep an eye on your data plan. net-merge 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
- Tap the download button above: the APK file downloads straight to your phone.

FAQ
Is net-merge free on Android?
Yes. It is free, open source under the MIT license, and has no account or server.
How do I install it since it's not on Google Play?
Download net-merge-android.apk from the net-merge/android GitHub releases page, open the file, and allow your browser or file manager to install apps when Android asks. Then open net-merge, tap the power button and tap OK on the VPN prompt.
Will it make a single download or video faster?
No. The README explains that one connection, like a single browser download, a video stream or a Play Store download, always stays on one network and does not speed up. It helps most with apps that open many connections at once, such as torrents, cloud backups and multi-part download managers.
