Is it safe?

Yes. The APK is signed with our own release key, served over HTTPS from ghantanew.com, and contains only the code you can see on our website — no trackers, no background ads, no access to your contacts, SMS or photos. The app only asks for internet and (on Android 13+) a one-time notification permission so download progress can show in your status bar.
