APK paper trail

Direct downloads need a stamped paper trail.

Android may show an install-unknown-apps warning for APKs that are not installed from Google Play Store. That is normal, but every file still needs clear identity.

Each APK should show a version, release date, file size, and SHA-256 hash.
Each app should say whether it stores data locally, syncs online, or uses analytics.
Anything shown on a widget can be read by anyone who can see the phone screen.
Store review can happen later, but the download page still needs plain safety notes now.
FAQ

Pocket app answers.

What are Pocket Apps?

Pocket Apps are small field-issue utilities from Wacky Works Digital, usually built quickly for one practical job before they are polished enough for a store listing.

Why are some apps direct APK downloads?

Some Android apps are useful before Play Store review is finished. Direct APK downloads let early users install them while the store process catches up.

Is Barcode Widget in the Play Store?

Not yet. Barcode Widget is listed as an APK-pending Pocket App until the APK file, version, file size, and SHA-256 hash are added to this page.

Can I store passwords in Barcode Widget?

The app can display any short value you save, but a visible widget is not suitable for sensitive passwords, recovery codes, banking details, or workplace credentials unless your policy clearly allows it.

Where does the saved value live?

The intended design is local-first: the saved value is kept on the Android device. The page will be updated if an app ever adds sync, accounts, analytics, or network features.

How will I know an APK is the right file?

Each direct APK download should publish its version, file size, release date, and SHA-256 hash so users can verify they have the intended file.
