ThermalTrace for Android
Native companion for your ThermalTrace account, live readings, history, freeze/flood alerts, devices, MFA, and household tools. Build from source or sideload while the Play listing is pending.
What the phone does (and does not)
- Does: sign in to your ThermalTrace account, show live curves, history, and the same forecast-backed time-to-freeze clock as Overview, manage alerts/devices/household settings, and (on Pro) receive freeze/flood push via Firebase Cloud Messaging.
- Does not: read temperature from the handset. Your ESP/Arduino (or JSON feeds) keep posting to thermaltrace.dev; the app is a client over HTTPS.
Want a desktop glance instead? Bay Buddy shows freeze and flood moods for one space without opening the full dashboard.
Early access (GitHub)
The open-source app at thermaltrace-android matches production: sign-in (including MFA / YubiKey OTP), home readings, alerts, devices, history, and portfolio view. Clone the repo, open in Android Studio, and run on your phone, or download a CI-built debug APK from GitHub Actions artifacts.
- Create a free ThermalTrace account and connect at least one probe.
- Build or sideload the Android app and sign in with the same credentials.
- Enable Pro push alerts in Alert settings for Firebase freeze notifications on the phone.
While Play review is pending
Use the full web product now: the Android app will attach to the same account when the listing goes live.
- Create a free account and connect a push device or HTTPS feed.
- Set freeze thresholds under Alert settings (email/chat today; SMS and push on Pro).
- On Android Chrome, install the PWA for a home-screen shortcut and optional browser Web Push.
- Prefer a launch email? Tell us you’re waiting on Play we read every message.
Deep links stay aligned with the web app (/dashboard, alerts, household) so the native client and PWA feel familiar.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for Play reviewers and homeowners waiting on the listing.
Does the Android app measure probe temperature?
No. The phone is a companion client. ESP/Arduino sensors (or HTTPS JSON feeds) push readings to ThermalTrace; the app signs in and displays that account data.
When will ThermalTrace be on Google Play?
Google Play listing is in review. Build or sideload from github.com/doodersrage/thermaltrace-android, or use the web dashboard / PWA from Chrome on Android until the store link goes live.
Will my web account work in the Android app?
Yes. The same ThermalTrace login, households, devices, and alert settings apply. Pro push on Android uses Firebase Cloud Messaging in addition to browser Web Push.
How do I get notified when the app launches?
Use the Contact form with topic=android (linked from /android) and ask for a launch note. We also announce updates on the site and GitHub repos.
