PdDroidParty
Create a native Android app from your Pure Data patch
Pd app builder service
Coming in 2021 is an online service where you can convert your Pd patch to an Android application. You simply upload your Pd patch and in return you get a working Android APK file which you can run on your own device, share with others, or even sell on the Google Play store.
The service will be available for a fee to cover costs and an institution and enterprise license will be available for universities, companies, and other organisations who want to run a private instance of the service for their students and employees.
If you are interested in this service and want to find out when it is released, please sign up below.

You can use the PdDroidParty code base to bundle your own Pd patches as standalone Android apps.

git clone https://github.com/chr15m/PdDroidParty.git MySynthesizer - Convert the app name to whatever you like:
./convert-app-name mysynth "My Synthesizer" - Replace your own icon 72x72 PNG icon over res/drawable/icon.png
- (optional) Place a splash.svg graphic with 1.333 aspect ratio (e.g. 640x480) in res/raw/
- (optional) edit assets/about.html with your own "about" text
- Place your patch and files with a
droidparty_main.pdin the "patch" subfolder - Pack the patch subfolder into an Android zip resource:
./pack-patch - Follow the instructions in the README.txt file for building.
