A privacy-focused, lightweight, and streamlined fork of GameNative.
Play your PC games from Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon directly on Android — natively, offline, and telemetry-free.
HyperNative is a community-driven fork of GameNative, developed and maintained with AI-assisted workflows. It focuses on providing a clean, privacy-respecting, and optimized environment to run your PC game libraries locally on Android.
- 👥 Multi-Account Management: Seamlessly switch between multiple accounts across Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon Games.
- 🖥️ Smart Display Scaling: Automatic screen-size detection with adaptive full-screen support for edge-to-edge gaming.
- 🎨 Refined Interface: Distraction-free, modern UI built for fast touch navigation and quick access to your local library.
- 🛡️ Zero Telemetry & Tracking: Stripped of all third-party analytics (PostHog, crash logs, diagnostic trackers). Your gameplay, account keys, and metrics remain strictly on-device.
- 🧹 Clean File System: Resolved the critical upstream bug that generated thousands of ghost/empty directories on ./Downloads internal storage, preventing storage clutter and media scanner slowdowns.
- ⚡ Optimized Builds: Cleaned-up dependencies, reduced overhead, and fixed compiler warnings for leaner runtime execution.
HyperNative uses automated AI-assisted development pipelines to accelerate maintenance, clean legacy code, and triage issues:
- Compiler Cleanliness: Elimination of legacy Gradle/NDK build warnings and dead code paths.
- Storage Sanitation: Fixed improper directory creation routines that previously flooded the ./Downloads user's file system with empty folders.
- Assisted Tooling: Refactoring and feature implementation refined using modern LLM pipelines (Gemini Flash 3.7 Extended and Mimo v2.5 pro).

Built binaries will be located in: app/build/outputs/apk/modern/
HyperNative treats user privacy as a non-negotiable principle:
- No Analytics SDKs: No analytic or telemetry libraries are packaged within the APK.
- Zero Remote Logging: Performance metrics (FPS, frame times), hardware IDs, and launch states are never reported outbound.
- Isolated Credentials: All authentication tokens and API secrets stay sandboxed in Android internal storage (
filesDir).
