+# Abit
+
+A Bitmessage client for Android.
+
+**Please be aware that at the current state, it most probably will suck your
+battery dry and use up your data plan within hours. Use at your own peril.**
+
+It uses the [Jabit Bitmessage library](https://github.com/Dissem/Jabit). (I
+know, the names are getting increasingly ridiculus. I fear it might turn into
+a Habit.)
