PALEOS.IO / FAQ
Use less certainty. Read more context.
Installation, privacy, permissions, and the operating philosophy behind the work.
What does offline-first mean for PALEOS.IO apps?
Each app page explains its current capability and release posture. The PALEOS.IO application philosophy is to avoid unnecessary network features, advertising, analytics, and cloud dependency; verify the permissions and release notes for the application you install.
How do I install an APK safely?
Download only from the verified GitHub Release linked on the corresponding PALEOS.IO app page. Check the release name and checksum when one is displayed, review Android’s unknown-source prompt, and do not install files forwarded through chat or unknown mirrors.
Why do some apps require Shizuku?
Some Android system-level operations require elevated access that ordinary applications do not have. Shizuku can provide an ADB-mediated workflow without traditional root. Follow the official Shizuku instructions and only authorize applications you trust.
Why might I need INSTALLER REX?
PHONE REX and MESSAGES REX have documented non-rooted-device workflows involving INSTALLER REX. The relevant app page explains the relationship and should be read before installation.
Does the PALEOS.IO website track my browser?
The rebuilt public experience is designed without advertising analytics, browser fingerprinting, font enumeration, canvas readback, or user-agent-based feature gating. Member features require only the data necessary to provide an account and access control.
What is Time Museum?
Time Museum is a lifetime-member experience in development. Its first form is an interactive Earth with a 0–2-billion-year timeline and an explicit Coming Soon status for curated historical terrain frames.
