About

Wajiha is a HOME app for the AYN Thor. One display carries the hero art, the other carries the library, and both run in a single process.

The name comes from Arabic واجهة (wājaha): interface — the face of the handheld.

Two screens, one library

The roles can swap. A handheld with one screen uses a single combined layout. The library stays on the device. Collections group games, and the ROM files stay where they are.

Launch

Emulators, including RetroArch, start with a per-game override. A game opened outside Wajiha still shows on the other screen. Artwork can come from ScreenScraper, SteamGridDB, libretro thumbnails, RetroAchievements, RomM, or a folder on the device.

A gamepad in your hands

Focus moves with the D-pad, actions map to face buttons, and a hint bar stays in view.

Distribution

Releases are published on GitHub. Obtainium is the easiest way to install and stay updated. Wajiha-<version>.apk is the universal build, and each release also ships one APK per ABI. Android 11 or newer.

Install with Obtainium

Obtainium is a free, open-source Android installer that pulls APKs straight from a project's GitHub releases — no store account, no waiting for review, and updates arrive as soon as they ship.

  1. Install Obtainium on your Android device.

  3. Obtainium then tracks new releases and notifies you.

You can always grab the APK by hand from the project's releases page instead.
