Get Rainlit

Windows

Windows 10 and 11

• Push to talk that works while you're in a game or another app.
• Share your screen with its sound. Your friend won't hear their own voice come back.
• Stays in the tray by the clock, so calls and messages still reach you.
• Updates itself.

The first time, Windows may say "Windows protected your PC." Click More info, then Run anyway. (The installer isn't code-signed yet.)

Android

Android 7 and up. Works without Google services, GrapheneOS included.

• Calls keep going when you switch apps or turn the screen off.
• Notifications for calls and messages while you're in another app.
• The back button works like you'd expect.

Installing it

1. Tap Download for Android on your phone, then open the file.
2. When asked, allow your browser to install apps.
3. Open Rainlit and sign in. Allow the microphone and notifications.

Using Obtainium? Add Rainlit's GitHub and it'll keep Rainlit up to date. Updates install over the old version, so there's no need to uninstall first.

Calls and messages while Rainlit is closed: also install ntfy (free, no account, no Google needed). Rainlit finds it and connects by itself. Using Obtainium? Add ntfy's GitHub and pick the fdroid-release APK.

Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco phone? They close apps in the background, even during calls. Go to Settings, then Apps, then Manage apps, then Rainlit. Set Battery saver to No restrictions and turn on Autostart.
