Thanks to the hard work from Daniel Sloof (danslo) and Justin Pai (killy), we’ve released the first alpha version of Mangler for Android. Before you try this, please make sure that you understand what “alpha” means. It means it is not considered stable and it is missing a lot of functionality. Expect problems.

Since this is very early on in the development, feature requests are not currently being accepted. This will help reduce the amount of work needed to triage new tickets for functionality we’re already planning on implementing anyway. We expect to implement many more features before a final beta is available. Crash reports, on the other hand, are always welcome.

The package can be found on the Download page.

If you have any questions, feel free to post in the forums or join us on IRC on irc.freenode.net in #mangler.

If you’re on an iPhone, you’re out of luck. Mangler is licensed under the GPL, which makes it impossible to release an iPhone app because of Apple’s developer agreement. Do yourself a favor and get a real phone… or use Mumble (which is BSD licensed and therefore releasable on the iPhone).
