Tine Application
Tine is a fast, local-first outliner that reads and writes a real LogseqMarkdown (and Org) graph on disk. It aims to feel like — and round-trip with —
Logseq: the outliner, tasks and priorities, journals, page and block references,
queries (with a visual builder), PDF and media, and HTML export.
About the permissions Tine asks for:
All files access — Tine edits an ordinary folder of Markdown files that you
choose and keep wherever you like: a Syncthing folder, an SD card, a shared
Documents directory. Android's restricted storage model offers no way to grant
an app read-write access to a tree of plain files that other apps also write
to, so full file access is what makes a real on-disk graph possible. Tine
touches only the graph folder you point it at.
Network access — Tine has no accounts, no server of its own, and no sync
service; it does not phone home and collects no analytics. The permission is
used only to load remote content that is already in your own notes: images and
media you linked by https:// URL, and embedded YouTube or Vimeo players if you
paste such a link. If nothing in your notes points at a remote URL, Tine makes
no network requests of its own. The F-Droid build additionally has the online
plugin catalogue compiled out, so plugins and themes can only be installed from
local files.
DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION — this one is not really Tine's. It is
added automatically by Google's AndroidX libraries, it is declared by the app on
itself at signature protection level, and it grants nothing to anyone: it exists
so those libraries can keep their internal broadcast receivers private to the
app rather than exposing them to other apps. It shows up in the list because
F-Droid displays every permission found in the manifest.
