The moments you reach for it

Their story sits first in your tray

With Ghost Mode on, you open it and your name stays off the list of people who saw it. The v13.0 build ships with it switched on, so there is nothing to set before the first story.

A reel you want to watch again

Honista adds a save control to reels and stories. Press it and the file stays on your device, ready to watch without opening the app.

The feed between two posts

Sponsored posts are removed, so scrolling stays on the accounts you follow and the reels you picked.

Keep this

Short notes for the first days with Honista v13.0, grouped by what you want to do.

Watch unseen

  • Open stories from the tray as you always do: Ghost Mode works in the background.
  • Leave it on. The build arrives with Ghost Mode already switched on.

Save

  • Use the save control on the reel or story you are watching.
  • Files land on the device you built Honista for.

Scroll

  • No ads to skip in the feed or between stories.
  • Pick another theme in the settings when you want a new look.

Get the build

  • Start on the device that will run it: the page reads that device.
  • Read the file size shown, then do the one quick check.

Questions before you build

What is the latest version of Honista?

Honista v13.0. It is the version this page builds, with Ghost Mode, story and reel saving and no ads on.

Is Honista the official Instagram app?

No. Honista is a third-party client built around Instagram by independent developers, while Instagram itself is run by Meta Platforms, as Wikipedia's Instagram article notes.

Will it match my phone or my computer?

Yes. After you press the key, the next page reads the device you are on and builds the file for it.

How do I log in to Honista?

With your usual Instagram account, from the Honista app once it is installed.

Is there a step before the download?

One quick check. You see Honista v13.0 ready, with its size and the four mods, and the check releases the file.
