Install guide

Install Ryntra on your device.

Ryntra ships outside the app stores, through GitHub Releases. Pick your platform; each install takes a few minutes.

Android

Install the APK on Android

Any recent Android phone or tablet

  1. Open the Ryntra download page on your Android device and tap Download APK.
  2. Open the downloaded file from the notification shade or the Files app.
  3. If Android asks, allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps.
  4. Tap Install, open Ryntra and sign in with your Modrinth account.

Ryntra is not on Google Play. The APK is published on GitHub Releases, and the app tells you when a newer one is available.

iPhone and iPad

Sideload the IPA on iPhone or iPad

iOS or iPadOS 16 or newer, a Windows PC or Mac, a USB cable

  1. Install Sideloadly on your computer. On Windows, also install iTunes and iCloud from apple.com rather than the Microsoft Store.
  2. Download the unsigned IPA from the Ryntra download page.
  3. Connect your iPhone or iPad with a cable and tap Trust on the device if asked.
  4. Drop the IPA into Sideloadly, enter your Apple ID and start the install.
  5. On the device, open Settings › General › VPN & Device Management and trust the profile for your Apple ID.
  6. If iOS asks for Developer Mode, turn it on in Settings › Privacy & Security, restart and confirm.

Apps signed with a free Apple ID expire after 7 days. Reconnect and reinstall with Sideloadly to refresh them; a paid developer account lasts a year.

Apple Vision Pro

Run the iPad build on Apple Vision Pro

Apple Vision Pro

  1. Use the same unsigned IPA as iPhone and iPad.
  2. Sideload it with Sideloadly the same way you would for an iPad.
  3. Ryntra runs in Designed for iPad compatibility mode; there is no separate visionOS build.

A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 14 or newer

  1. Download the DMG from the Ryntra download page.
  2. Open the disk image and drag Ryntra into Applications.
