Nitterium is an Android app for browsing public Twitter/X content through Nitter and Teapot instances, no Twitter/X account needed. It lets you save profiles as local subscriptions, organize them into groups, and read their posts in combined feeds, loaded through a WebView much like browsing the site directly.

Why isn’t Nitterium on Google Play?
Nitterium is not on F-Droid either. It is published by its developer on GitHub, with APK releases you can also track through Obtainium or get via IzzyOnDroid.
Is Nitterium safe?
Nitterium is open source under the MIT license, and the APK is distributed directly by the developer on GitHub Releases. The README lists the APK's SHA-256 fingerprint for verification, and the app only requests INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions, with no ads or tracking mentioned. Nitterium 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
