Raw Blame History

NOTE: This is a vibe-ported HARD FORK of the cinny-desktop repo and iOS support is untested. Have fun.

Cinny Mobile

Cinny is a Matrix client focused on a simple, elegant, and secure interface. This fork ports the Tauri host from desktop packaging to Tauri’s Android and iOS targets while keeping the upstream Cinny web app as the frontend.

Project Layout

cinny/: upstream web client, included as a git submodule
src-tauri/: Tauri mobile host, capabilities, and native project scaffolding

Local Development

Follow the official Tauri prerequisites first. For phone targets, also install the Android and iOS toolchains described there.

Then install dependencies:

git clone --recursive https://git.czchan.org/sneedmaster/cinny-mobile.git
cd cinny-desktop/cinny
npm ci
cd ..
npm ci

Mobile Commands

npm run android:init
npm run android:dev
npm run android:build
npm run ios:init
npm run ios:dev
npm run ios:build

npm run tauri dev is still useful for validating the shared Tauri host on the current machine before deploying to a handset or simulator.

Notes

The Tauri entrypoint lives in src-tauri/src/lib.rs and is shared by desktop dev runs plus Android and iOS builds.
Production assets are served through tauri-plugin-localhost so the wrapped web app can continue using its existing browser-oriented runtime behavior.
Android scaffolding has been regenerated in this workspace. iOS setup is intentionally deferred for now and still requires the usual Apple-side tooling plus a valid development team for signed runs.
