📋 About This Mod
PyPipboyApp is a platform independent and extensible unofficial Fallout 4 Pipboy Companion App written in Python3 using PyQt5. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, and is meant as replacement of the official companion app on the PC (You don't need to mess around with that non-working android emulator anymore, isn't that great news!).

Here's a introduction video (It's not up-to-date anymore and really bad, it would be great if someone could make a better one):
