Android and iOS app version

Post by kasdashdfjsah »

Can you please make an Android and iOS app version of this software, both released in their respective app stores, so it can also be used on mobile devices?

This most likely will not happen. They did run an app provided through SONY for their Android phones a few years ago, that ended when SONY stopped support. The code was made open source and the people running F@h said at the time they would consider looking at possibly supporting a client in the future, but that has not happened in the last 5-6 years.

There are some third party monitoring and control apps that use the published API for the v7 client. They can connect over a network to clients folding on other systems such as desktops and laptops.

In May 2023, the BOINC mobile app issue tracker suggested adding the Folding@home project to the large list of supported projects. The response was along the lines of "we would be happy to, but the current owners of the F@h project are against using their project by other apps."
