Download for Android
Forbidden Finance isn't on the Play Store yet. Until it is, you can install the app directly from us — and verify it's genuinely ours before you do.

Verify it before you install
You're installing a finance app from outside an app store, so check that the file you got is the file we published. Both values below are generated by our build server at release time.
File checksum (SHA-256)
6ebce54f575cd94745b2ad87bc4e8304289d97fbc6ce73130c10dec5d84da8cd
Confirm with sha256sum forbidden-finance-1.0.0+263-arm64-v8a.apk (or shasum -a 256 on macOS). If it doesn't match, delete the file and tell us.
Signing certificate (SHA-256)
a5fe33047ca74fb48614a751b5e3b64d3148e546e460b6b1b98ca97eb6d7ab5a
This identifies us as the signer. Confirm with apksigner verify --print-certs forbidden-finance-1.0.0+263-arm64-v8a.apk. The checksum proves the file is intact; this proves it came from us.
Installing
Android blocks installs from outside the Play Store until you allow them, one source at a time.
- Open the downloaded file. Android will ask whether to allow installs from your browser or file manager — allow it for that app.
- Play Protect may warn you about an app from an unknown developer. That warning appears for every app installed outside the Play Store; it isn't a finding about this app. Verify the checksums above, then continue.
- Install, and revoke the "unknown apps" permission afterwards if you'd rather not leave it on.
Updates
Apps installed this way don't update themselves. Forbidden Finance checks for a newer build and tells you when one is ready — you'll come back here to download it.
When we reach the Play Store, we'll publish it signed with this same key, so you'll be able to move across without reinstalling or losing anything.
