Why isn’t Piko on Google Play?
Piko is published by its developer on GitHub only, not on Google Play.
Is Piko safe?
Piko is open source under the AGPL-3.0-or-later license (versions 1.1.0 and earlier were MIT), and installers are built directly from source by GitHub Actions and listed per device on the Releases page. The Android build uses mpv and FFmpeg built under GPLv3; the macOS build is experimental and not notarized, so you need to allow it manually in Privacy & Security settings, and the Linux build is also experimental. Piko 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.
- When Android asks, allow your browser to install unknown apps.
- Open the file and tap Install.
