Ogh is not distributed through the Google Play Store. Instead, you install it by downloading the signed APK directly from the official GitHub Releases page and sideloading it onto your device. This keeps the entire distribution chain transparent and verifiable — you can always check the SHA-256 checksum to confirm you have an unmodified build.

​
Installation Steps

1

Go to GitHub Releases

Open github.com/imxade/ogh/releases in your browser. The latest release is listed at the top of the page.
2

Download the APK and Checksum

Under the latest release’s Assets section, download both files:
  • ogh-release.apk — the signed application package
  • ogh-release.apk.sha256 (or equivalent checksum file) — the SHA-256 hash for verification
Save both files to the same folder on your computer or directly to your Android device.
3

Verify the SHA-256 Checksum

Before installing, confirm the APK has not been tampered with by comparing its checksum against the one published in the release. On a Linux or macOS terminal, run:
On Windows (PowerShell), run:
The output hash must exactly match the contents of the .sha256 file from the release. If they differ, do not install the APK — re-download it from the official releases page.
4

Enable Installation from Unknown Sources

Android blocks installations from outside the Play Store by default. To allow the Ogh APK to install, you need to grant permission to your file manager or browser:
  1. On Android 8.0 and later, go to Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps, then select the app you’ll use to open the APK (e.g., your file manager or Chrome) and toggle Allow from this source.
  2. On Android 7.0, go to Settings → Security and enable Unknown sources.
Only enable “Install unknown apps” for a trusted app (such as your file manager), and only install APKs downloaded directly from the official Ogh releases page. Never install an APK from an unofficial mirror or third-party source — there is no way to verify it has not been modified.
5

Open the APK to Install

Locate the downloaded ogh-release.apk using your file manager and tap it. Android will display an installation prompt. Review the permissions and tap Install. Once installation completes, you can open Ogh directly from the prompt or find it in your app drawer.
