About PocketKode
PocketKode makes software and games, for fun and for free. It starts with small computers you can hold in one hand, and grows from there.
What PocketKode makes
Apps
Apps for retro handhelds running muOS or Anbernic's stock OS, like Game Manager, which finds and installs free homebrew games right on the device.
Guides
Step-by-step fixes for real problems, like getting the Minecraft Java port working on the Anbernic RG40XXH.
Games
The first PocketKode games are in the works. They'll appear here and on the blog first.
How PocketKode works
Free to use
Everything published here is free to download and use.
Legitimate sources only
Apps like Game Manager only use sources where creators share their games themselves: Homebrew Hub, itch.io and PortMaster. No pirated games, ever.
Tested on real hardware
Every app and guide is tried on an actual game console first. Each page says what it was tested on.
Respect for privacy
The apps have no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and never send your files. Downloads are counted anonymously: no IP addresses are stored. The website has no ads either.
Why retro handhelds?
Handhelds like the Anbernic RG40XXH are tiny Linux computers with a screen, buttons and Wi-Fi. Community firmware such as muOS turns them into open platforms, but good apps for them are still rare. PocketKode builds the tools that are missing and writes down what it takes to make things work, so the next person doesn't have to figure it out alone.
