 ## Overview
 
-OpenNOW is a community-built Electron app for playing GeForce NOW from an open-source desktop client. The active implementation lives in [`opennow-stable/`](opennow-stable) and uses Electron, React, and TypeScript across the main, preload, and renderer processes.
+OpenNOW is a community-built GeForce NOW client. The active implementation lives in [`opennow-stable/`](opennow-stable) and now supports two runtime targets from the same React renderer: Electron for desktop and Capacitor for Android.
 
 The project aims to give players a transparent, customizable alternative to the official client without hiding the technical parts from contributors.
 
 ## Highlights
 
 - Open-source desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux
+- Experimental Android target via Capacitor using the shared React renderer in a WebView
 - Catalog and public game browsing with search and library-aware session handling
 - Stream controls for codec, resolution, FPS, aspect ratio, region, and quality preferences
 - In-stream diagnostics overlay with latency, packet loss, decode, and render stats

 ## Architecture At A Glance
 
-OpenNOW is split into three Electron layers:
+OpenNOW uses a shared renderer with thin platform adapters:
 
 | Layer | Tech | Responsibility |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| Main | Electron + Node.js | OAuth, CloudMatch/session orchestration, signaling, caching, local file handling |
-| Preload | Electron `contextBridge` | Safe IPC bridge between the app shell and UI |
-| Renderer | React + TypeScript | Login flow, browsing, settings, WebRTC playback, diagnostics, controls |
+| Main | Electron + Node.js | Desktop-only OAuth, IPC, local filesystem/media, cache, window management |
+| Preload | Electron `contextBridge` | Desktop bridge exposing the existing OpenNOW API surface |
+| Renderer | React + TypeScript | Shared login flow, browsing, settings, WebRTC playback, diagnostics, controls |
+| Capacitor Android | Capacitor + WebView | Android shell, localhost WebView auth interception, Preferences/filesystem storage, browser-based signaling |
+
+The code lives under [`opennow-stable/src/`](opennow-stable/src), with shared TypeScript types and platform-neutral helpers in [`opennow-stable/src/shared/`](opennow-stable/src/shared). The renderer now consumes [`src/renderer/src/platform/`](opennow-stable/src/renderer/src/platform/) instead of hard-coding `window.openNow`.
+
+## Android Status
+
+The Android target is an initial pass intended to run the core OpenNOW flow inside a Capacitor WebView. Current Android support includes:
+
+- auth session restore
+- login via native Android WebView interception while preserving the exact desktop redirect URI contract (`http://localhost:<port>`)
+- provider and region loading
+- main/library/public game catalog fetches
+- session create, poll, claim, and stop
+- direct signaling from the WebView
+- settings persistence
+- screenshots and recordings stored in the app data directory
+
+Known Android limitations in this pass:
+
+- no desktop-style quit action
+- no pointer-lock toggle semantics
+- no Electron log export or cache deletion flow
+- no show-in-folder integration for media
+- screenshot export/save-as remains desktop-only
+- some desktop shortcut UX is hidden or non-applicable on touch devices
+
+Android auth now mirrors the desktop localhost redirect contract by opening NVIDIA login in a native Android WebView and intercepting the navigation to `http://localhost:<port>` inside the Android shell instead of using deep links or running a real loopback callback server.
+
+CI also produces a testable Android APK artifact from the Capacitor target so reviewers can install and validate the current branch without making a release build.

+- Android SDK command-line tools or Android Studio
+- `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` set to your local Android SDK path when building the APK outside Android Studio
 - A GeForce NOW account for end-to-end testing

 ## Notes For Contributors
 
 - The active app is the Electron client. If you see older references to previous implementations, prefer `opennow-stable/`.
 - Root-level npm scripts are convenience wrappers around the `opennow-stable` workspace.
 - Before opening a PR, run `npm run typecheck` and `npm run build`.

+## Android Workflow
+
+Local Android toolchain prerequisites:
+
+- Android platform `android-36`
+- Android build-tools `36.0.0`
+- Android platform-tools
+- Accepted Android SDK licenses
+
+If you are using the command-line SDK tools, install the same Android components that CI installs:
+
+```bash
+sdkmanager --install \
+  "platform-tools" \
+  "platforms;android-36" \
+  "build-tools;36.0.0"
+yes | sdkmanager --licenses
+```
+
+Build and sync web assets into the Android project:
+
+```bash
+cd opennow-stable
+npm run cap:sync:android
+```
+
+Build a local test APK:
+
+```bash
+cd opennow-stable
+npm run cap:sync:android
+cd android
+./gradlew assembleDebug
+```
+
+Open the Android project in Android Studio:
+
+```bash
+cd opennow-stable
+npm run cap:open:android
+```
+
+Current Android support is limited to the core cloud-gaming path. Android login now follows the same localhost redirect contract as desktop (`http://localhost:<port>` for both authorize and token exchange), but the Android shell intercepts that navigation inside a native WebView instead of hosting a real localhost callback server. Desktop-specific features such as quit app, pointer-lock toggles, log export, cache deletion, show-in-folder actions, and screenshot save-as are intentionally gated or unavailable on Android in this pass.
+
+For CI-based testing, use the APK artifact uploaded by the `auto-build` workflow. It is a debug/testing package and is not release-signed.
