Android

Android 7.0+

The same app as on iPhone and iPad, from one codebase: library, downloads, and sources. A direct APK for now, with a Google Play closed test open below.

The APK link shows once you sign in. Any free account works.

Google Play

Join the closed test

Google needs at least 12 people to test Boundless 3 for 14 days before it can go public on the Play Store. If you would rather have the Play version, this is how to help get it there.

Join the tester group with the Google account that is on your phone: the Boundless testers group.
Become a tester. Open the testing page and tap Become a tester. That link starts working once Google approves the test build.
Install Boundless from Google Play and keep it installed for at least 14 days. Open it on Google Play.
Claim the PlayMaker role. After 14 days, message the team on Discord or open a ticket in the support channel to claim the exclusive PlayMaker role.

Windows

A preview for Windows

3.3.1 came with a Windows build. It's a preview, and it's there for compatibility: it gets Boundless running on Windows 10 or later, rough edges and all.

Windows

Preview Windows 10+ · x64

Unzip it anywhere and run boundless.exe. You'll need the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime.

The download link shows once you sign in. Any free account works.

Known issues: the liquid glass look lags on Windows, so glass chrome is off by default and best left that way for now. About one launch in seven crashes, and reopening the app sorts it. The title bar is the plain Windows frame, not the Mac style one.

First run

Three steps to reading

The app starts empty on purpose. A source repository fills Browse and Search; your own files come in through Import Files.

Open the More tab, then Sources. This is where repositories are added and managed.
Add the official repository. Paste the URL below. The app reads its listing and shows you what is available to install.
Install a source and open Browse. From there, search, filter by genre, and start reading.

iPad Search

One query across every source you installed.

Tied up and twisted; gnarled and knotted with wrinkles; haggardly firm and unyielding; his eyes glowing like coals, that still glow in the ashes of ruin; untottering Ahab stood forth in the clearness of the morn; lifting his splintered helmet of a brow to the fair girl’s forehead of heaven.

Oh, immortal infancy, and innocency of the azure! Invisible winged creatures that frolic all round us! Sweet childhood of air and sky! how oblivious were ye of old Ahab’s close-coiled woe! But so have I seen little Miriam and Martha, laughing-eyed elves, heedlessly gambol around their old sire; sporting with the circle of singed locks which grew on the marge of that burnt-out crater of his brain.
