Version 4.1.2
Weather reliability and modern Android layouts.
Headmon 4.1.2 is available to invited Google Play closed-test participants.
- Changing the weather location no longer closes the app unexpectedly.
- Continuous local weather history can reuse a location saved with diary weather.
- Headmon stays clear of gesture and three-button system navigation.
- Full-screen diary, location, note and photo views respect Android’s safe display areas.
- Existing diary data, backups and settings remain compatible.
Previously used the APK?
Back up before switching.
Create a complete backup in a Files folder before changing installations. If Android requires the manually installed version to be removed before the Play version can be installed, uninstalling will also remove the on-device diary and local-only backups.
Open the backup guideAutomatic updates
Google Play can keep Headmon current using the normal update controls on your device.
Your diary stays local
Moving distribution to Google Play does not move diary entries, photos or backups to a Headmon server.
Troubleshooting
Google Play does not show Install
Headmon is currently in closed testing. Only invited testers using an enrolled Google account can install the test release.
The Play version will not install over an older build
Do not remove the existing app until you have exported a complete backup to a location outside Headmon. Then install from Play and import the backup if necessary.
An update has not appeared yet
Google Play rollouts and device update checks can take time. Confirm that the same Google account is enrolled in the closed test.

No direct APK downloads
Older GitHub APK releases have been withdrawn to avoid two competing installation and update paths. Google Play is the canonical Android source going forward.
