For Android

The video you watch on the web, that keeps playing.

Lumen is a browser built around one thing: watching video without losing your place. A call, a locked screen, a dead connection — none of them end the video.

No account. No ads. No subscription.

Built for the way you actually watch

Most browsers treat video as one more kind of page. Lumen treats it as the reason you opened the browser.

⏸

It keeps playing

Leave the app mid-video and it carries on in a small floating window. Lock the screen and the audio keeps going, with controls on the lock screen and your headset.

↻

Nothing knocks it over

What is already buffered keeps playing when the signal drops, and the stream resumes at the same position once data flows again. No tap, no reload.

●

Quiet by default

Content blocking is built in and on. Network requests that match the filter lists are answered empty. Pause it for one site, or bring your own list.

→

One tap to watch

A link from any other app opens inside Lumen's own player instead of handing you off to that site's app. Bare addresses are upgraded to HTTPS.

▶

Your own files too

The Library tab lists the video and music already on your phone and plays it in the same player, with the same floating window. Nothing is copied or uploaded.

🔒

Nothing leaves the phone

No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising ID. Lumen has no server of its own, because there is nothing to send it.

The whole app, not a mockup

Two screens taken from the build itself. Nothing invented, nothing retouched.

Start screen: a grid of sites, a search field and the blocked-request counter.
Start screen — sites, search, and how much was blocked on this page.
Settings: blocking, HTTPS, audio routing and privacy sections.
Settings — blocking, HTTPS, playback and privacy, all on the device.

Lumen is in closed testing on Google Play

The build is stable but the doors are not open yet. Ask for an invite and you will get a link that installs it on your Android phone.
