N-Zik is a multilingual fork of Kreate, built with performance improvements, UI/UX refinement, bug fixes, and new features in mind with long-term support.

N-Zik may not yet be as stable as the original Kreate, so feel free to use the original if you need a more mature alternative.

N-Zik is a side project I originally built for myself and friends, not chasing glory. It's grown a bit since then, which is cool.

I use generative AI to assist with code, structured with the BMAD Method, but everything gets reviewed and tested before it's pushed. I'm not shipping blind.

If AI-assisted development isn't your thing, no hard feelings, there are plenty of great alternatives.

⏳ Only days remaining until Android Lockdown

Starting in September 2026, Google will require identity verification for all Android developers, including those distributing applications outside of Google Play.

As a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) project, N‑Zik and his developer opposes this requirement due to its impact on developer privacy, independent distribution, and software freedom.
