Rouse Context

Turn your phone into a secure, on-demand MCP server for AI clients
New in version 1.0.14
Fixes 1.0.13 refusing every connection.

In 1.0.13, every request from an AI client failed as soon as it reached your
phone, so integrations stopped working and authorizing a new client failed.
This release fixes that. If you're on 1.0.13, please update.
Rouse Context turns your Android phone into an on-demand MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. An AI client connects to a URL, your phone wakes up, and a direct encrypted session is established. The client asks for what it needs — health data, notifications, app usage — your phone answers, then goes back to sleep.

Your data stays on the device. The session runs end-to-end encrypted between the AI client and your phone; the relay that connects them only forwards that encrypted traffic and can't read it.

Wake-ups use UnifiedPush, so install a UnifiedPush distributor (for example ntfy) to be reached while the app is in the background.

Features:


  • On-demand — your phone is only reachable while a client is connected, then sleeps again. No always-on background service draining the battery.

  • You stay in control — you enable each integration explicitly, and every tool call an AI client makes is recorded in an on-device audit history you can review.

  • Private by design — data never leaves the device except through a live, user-approved session.

  • Certificate monitoring — the app checks public transparency logs (crt.sh, or Certspotter as backup) for certificates issued to your device's address, so a forged one doesn't go unnoticed. Runs every 12 hours by default; change the interval or turn it off in Settings.

  • Free and open source, with no analytics or tracking in the app.

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
