Done now rather than later: the application ID is permanent once published -- Play treats a change as an entirely different app -- so this is the last cheap moment to choose it. applicationId / namespace dev.jasonmross.mediaconverter -> org.libremediaconverter source tree java/dev/jasonmross/mediaconverter -> java/org/libremediaconverter gradle project AndroidMediaConverter -> LibreMediaConverter theme Theme.MediaConverter -> Theme.LibreMediaConverter compose theme MediaConverterTheme -> LibreMediaConverterTheme display name "Media Converter" -> "LibreMediaConverter" org.* rather than dev.jasonmross.* because "Libre" signals a project rather than a personal app, and a project-owned namespace lets maintainership move later without the identifier contradicting reality. The source trees moved with git mv so history follows the files instead of showing 42 deletions beside 42 additions. Verified after the rename: 66 unit tests, and 40 instrumented tests on an API 36 emulator, 0 failures. The built APK reports org.libremediaconverter, and no stale jasonmross, AndroidMediaConverter or MediaConverterTheme identifiers remain anywhere in the tree.

Privacy Policy
LibreMediaConverter does not collect any data.
That is the whole policy, but here is what it means concretely.
No data leaves your device
The app has no network access. It does not declare the INTERNET permission, so it
is not merely a promise not to transmit anything — the operating system will not let it.
Your files are converted on your device and stay there.
No analytics, advertising or tracking
There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier, and no third-party service of any kind.
What the app accesses, and why
| Access | Why |
|---|---|
| Files you explicitly pick | Read as conversion input. The app uses the system file picker and can only see files you choose. It never scans your storage. |
| The destination you choose for output | Write the converted file. Again, only where you point it. |
| Notifications | Show conversion progress so you can leave the app while a long job runs. Optional; conversions work without it. |
The app does not request storage permissions. It uses the Storage Access Framework, which grants access only to the individual files you select.
The full permission list
Inspecting the app will show a few permissions that are not in the table above. They are added automatically by the Jetpack WorkManager library, which runs conversions in the background. Listing them here rather than leaving you to wonder:
| Permission | Origin | What it does here |
|---|---|---|
FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROCESSING, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC |
Ours | Keep a conversion running when the app is not in the foreground. Android requires a declared service type for this. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS |
Ours | Show conversion progress. Optional. |
WAKE_LOCK |
WorkManager | Stop the device sleeping mid-conversion. |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
WorkManager | Restore an unfinished job queue after a restart. |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
WorkManager | WorkManager can gate jobs on connectivity. This app does not use that feature, and the permission only allows reading whether a network exists — it does not permit any network communication. |
Notably absent is INTERNET. Without it the operating system will not allow the app to
open a network connection at all, so "your files stay on your device" is enforced by
Android rather than resting on our word.
Where files are stored
Conversions are written to the app's private cache while they run, then copied to the location you choose. The temporary copy is deleted afterwards. Uninstalling the app removes everything in its private storage.
