F-Droid - Latest Packages

  • Organic Character Recognition (2026/06/19 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 19 Jun 2026, Week 25 Community News Element X - Secure Chat & Call was updated to 26.06.2 and SchildiChat Next to 0.11.4-ex_26_6_2, fixing a security issue, on top of the usual enhancements. Do update asap! FairScan – PDF Scanner was updated to 2.0.0 and now can create searchable PDFs with text recognition (OCR). For this feature INTERNET permission is required to download optional language files. If you feel that Fairscan has helped you, maybe jump to the developers post on donations and show your generosity. FiSSH, SSH authentication via Fingerprint scanning over network (TLS Sockets), just got an appid change, as it was archived and the identically named FiSSH was just included. The developer is once again maintaining the app, so if you’ve had the app installed before last week, try to backup, uninstall and install the new app. Since we’ve mentioned a scanner app above, we have to cover MakeACopy update 4.5.0 too. New camera controls, new translations, text layer fixes, Material You dynamic colors, Material 3 dialogues, workflow stepper across actions, search in scan library, share text, export type selector, and more. Materializr, Parametric 3D CAD, might not get 10.000 users this week, but it answers a call for this type of apps being available for FLOSS fans. Might you design your next 3D printer ready object today from your Android? Photok was updated to 3.0.1 fixing an ANR after the big update 3.0.0. How big? A new vault system, HEIC support, more translations, faster thumbnails, better settings screens and more. @shuvashish76 records future bits: Audio Recorder was updated to 2.0.2 after almost two years, being rewritten entirely using modern tooling and frameworks. What do you mean “the app looks sameish”? Well if you read the changelog, that was intended, while a developer needs to wrestle with all layers of an app, we the users might experience only a thin shell on top. But the secret sauce is 2-3 layers below, where the dragons be. Rethink: DNS + Firewall + VPN was updated to v0.5.5w after almost one year. What did we miss? An UI rewrite in Material 3, new configuration options, plenty of fixes, and more. Read this and this to get up to speed. Archived Apps 1 more app was archived WalletCount: A money management app for your wallet Newly Added Apps 23 more apps were newly added For some “unknown reason” since about 9 months ago, more previously unfamiliar FLOSS developers started to consider F-Droid a good place to distribute and host their apps. We welcome such a wave of increased interest, and we ask developers to bear with us while we juggle between infra maintenance, client 2.0 development and their submissions. We thank @linsui for merging all these below and hundreds more during these months. We also thank contributors taking the time to help with app submissions review, testing builds and offering feedback. For them we’ve setup the “Reviewing new apps” Wiki page to offer step by step guidance of what it takes for an app to be tested before inclusion, and, depending on changes, during updates. Scroll down in comments to find an useful checklist that can keep one organized during a review.

  • We didn't choose the pastel colors (2026/06/12 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 12 Jun 2026, Week 24 F-Droid core F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to 2.0-alpha10. We tooted a toot that you can read here, and yes, we are like an inch (or 25.4 mm if you’re on metric) close to release, do test it on your device today: mess around with Material colors, do all screens look fine and readable? install some apps and updates, do they get downloaded fast from mirrors? your Chinese device can install apps or just gives up randomly? the UI looks nice on your smart TV or is it hard to navigate? the app is translated fully or some strings need more work? are the meta categories enticing? any other issue we should know about? You’ve read above and want to help? Get the latest 2.0-alpha by navigating to the F-Droid or Basic app details page and check “Allow beta updates” in the top right three dot menu. Community News baresip was updated to 83.1.0 and its video enabled counter-part baresip+ to 72.1.0. These apps have been in F-Droid since 2018 and 2020 respectively, so they’re not “new” to the Android ecosystem and to Google’s vast surveillance system that spies on what apps users have installed, yet we are sad to see our packages being treated as malware and both users and developers getting abused. Also Syncthing-Fork was updated to 2.1.1.0 and got the same FUD treatment from Google’s root-kit-like services that swear they want to protect the users. Is Google protecting you or their share-holders? Time is short, keepandroidopen.org has some actionable ideas. Can you help? Fedilab was updated to 3.41.0 adding the new “Collections” feature. What are those? We’ll just let the Mastodon devs to explain in a post. Flip 2 DND was updated to 12.1.1-free after we skipped some versions. The developer lost, forgot, burned, deleted or just plain changed the key, hence it now has a new one. You had the app installed last week? Better uninstall and install the new one. Notifications for FB was updated to 1.12.0 after… 9 years! While we can frown upon your usage of such an awful abusing silo, at least you can get notified in a better way. While we featured ReFra two weeks ago, they deserve a mention yet again with update 5.0.0. Why? They’ve added Immich integration (ownCloud soon too) so you can browse remotely just like locally, cloud photo backup, backup wizard, more editor effects & filters, date grouping, albums sections, motion photos as MP4, Android Advanced Protection support, more location details, better APNG & JXL support, more performance enhancements and more. Newly Added Categories 3 categories were newly added Recorder: Audio, screen, call recorder Camera: Camera, IP camera viewer and video recorder Market & Price: Price, exchange rate, stock Newly Added Apps 34 apps were newly added Alchemist: Start with the four basic elements and create anything! AppVerifier BG: Verify installed apps against shared signature hashes and databases Conduit: Local-first SSH, Mosh, and SFTP for mobile drejo player: Tiny ad-free player with reliable next/previous across mp4 + mkv folders Email: A modern email client with a unified inbox Ensemble: Unofficial client for Music Assistant Entropy’s Defiance: Minimalist launcher and time-horizon task manager Epoch: Time display for nerds: Unix, sidereal, binary clocks & more Flac-R: Perfect your collection Health: A health metric management health meant to replace Google Fit Hermes Agent Fork: Run local AI models with chat, files, voice, and Android tools Hisap Kitap: Shop ledger and billing app for small businesses Kochi Transit Go: Offline Kochi Metro route planner and fare calculator. Fast, Free & Private. LineShield: Verify phone lines registered to your name in Mexico CRT portals Linthra: Local-first music player for music you own. No forced sync. LocalTube: Self-hosted streaming server solution built on top of NewPipe Extractor Metiq: Colored noise for focus, sleep, and relaxation. No ads, no tracking. Motivational App: A tiny joke app that gives you brutally direct motivation in one tap ONVIF Camera: Simple RTSP viewer for IP cameras Open Hitomi: Floating hedgehog assistant with local chat and browser tools OpenVitals: Private Health Connect summary; not medical advice OW Camera 2 For Pebble: Control your phone’s camera remotely from your Pebble smartwatch Passchain: Use security key with Bluetooth, NFC, USB or your phone secure element PDF Inspector: Inspect, select, edit and delete the elements inside any PDF Phylax: Viewer for Frigate NVR with smart URL switching and notifications PicCollage: High-performance photo collage studio with 26 dynamic gradients and pro layouts Pictionary Generator: A Pictionary-ish Word Generator PixelPlayerOSS: Local-first music player for offline and self-hosted libraries Prog Metronome: Metronome for practicing complex rhythmic ideas RealmScore: Score keeper for the Fantasy Realms card game Rocinante: Fast, private, and native client for the BookWyrm literary social network SoundTree Recorder: Audio recorder with topic organization, marks, and page-like waveforms time-tracking: Keep track of your working hours with precision and ease whatIwatch: Track the series you’re currently watching Updated Apps 288 more apps were updated (expand for the full list) Accelerrace was updated to 0.10 Acoustic was updated to 1.4 Agora was updated to 1.2.3 Aisleron Shopping List was updated to 2026.4.1 AliasVault was updated to 0.29.5 AndBible: Bible Study was updated to 5.1.1100 Android IP Camera was updated to 0.4.0 another.im was updated to 1.2.1 Apollo was updated to 1.7.8 Auto Auto-Rotate was updated to 0.14.1 Auto Shine was updated to 1.4 Autu Mandu was updated to 6.0.2 Backlog Tracker was updated to 1.1.0 Backtalk was updated to 0.3.2 Barcode Scanner was updated to 1.26.2 BasicSync was updated to 2.2 Be nice was updated to 2.1.4 Beam was updated to 1.6 BeatBridge was updated to 1.0.34 Bibledit was updated to 5.1.046 Binary Eye was updated to 1.74.2 Birthday Adapter was updated to 3.13 Block’Buster was updated to 1.6 Blockstream App (Green) was updated to 5.5.0 Bluetooth Remote was updated to 1.12.1 Braincup was updated to 2.19.0 Breakout 71 was updated to 29679002 Breezy Weather was updated to 6.2.1_freenet Butterfly was updated to 2.5.3 Cache Cleaner was updated to 2.3.0 Caffeine Health was updated to 2.2.2-beta.2 CajuScan was updated to 1.0.7 Calendar was updated to v2.5.2 Calisthenics Memory was updated to 1.23.0 CalSync -

  • Long changelogs for the afternoon (2026/05/29 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 29 May 2026, Week 22 Community News ArcaneChat was updated to 2.50.0 with many fixes and improvements. Calls are no longer experimental, same for channels, location streaming is better and more. FluffyChat was updated to 2.6.0 with updated translations, design fixes, sync optimisations, chat filters, room tags, thumbnail control, push notifications for multi account and more. Jami was updated to 20260522-01 and gets well rounded, both UI wise and in functionality. We missed the new look back in April, but you can read the developer post here. NewPipe was updated to 0.28.7 fixing some annoyances, but also fixing a bit of tech debt by dropping Android 5 support. You can read why here, and maybe look up how to either get a compatible newer Android distribution for your device or, as finances permit, acquire a newer device that at least allows a newer one. The LineageOS Wiki might be helpful in guiding you. There’s also some news regarding team members. Until then, if you’re stuck on 5, SkyTube Legacy was updated to 2.999 and might serve you for a bit more. ReFra was updated to 4.3.0. What is ReFra? It’s the new name of the Gallery app (yes, rather generic sounding name). The changelog is huge, in part because the new features took some time to stabilize and clean up to be fully FLOSS. We have maps integration, yes INTERNET permission is now used, ML (optional) features, app sandboxing processing, 360°, vault overhaul, markup, album groups, FCast, private folder, timeline, subtitles, new video controls, and more. You can read all about these in the repo, start on page 2 with 4.1.0 and go up to 4.3.0. Save by OpenArchive was updated to 4.0.4 adding proofmode for WebDav servers and more bug fixes. The app was designed to be helpful to documenters, archivists, journalists, and advocates around the world, and to face very complex technological and human situations. The developers recently posted about the encountered challenges here. VCMI was updated to 1.7.4 after a two year hiatus. While the changelog is huge and concerns mostly the game itself, the Android part got a new settings screen and QoL improvements for touch screens. If on update it does not start and complains about missing game files, try to reimport the game data files. @shuvashish76 отваря приложението за камерата: Offline Translator was updated to 0.6.1 adding a highly wanted feature: “live camera translation”. You can see this in action here. Some users of older Android versions have seen crashes with 0.6.1, the developer fixed those and we are waiting for the next release to be ready. Vishal arranges some pages: LabNex for GitLab was updated to 8.0.0 after Gitnex for Forgejo and Gitea got its UI overhauled last week. The changelog is too long to list, but touches every area of the app, enhancing your mobile interaction with Gitlab.

  • Building trust through software rather than giving it (2026/05/27 00:00)
    Security and privacy come from trust The experience we have with our devices usually feels private and secure. If no one else is looking at our screen, it seems like no one is watching. Unfortunately, this feeling is misplaced. Apps come bundled with trackers, websites seek to profile users to target them with ads and many apps and systems providers have full access to how users interact with their product. And that’s before even talking about the malicious actors who want access to your credit card details. Even if we are aware of this, we don’t want to think about the privacy and security of our devices. What we want is to be able to trust that the systems we interact with protect us and our information. Just as we trust that the public bridges we walk on to support the weight of traffic, we should be able to trust the devices and software we use. Yet reality is different. Where public infrastructure relies on strict rules and regulations, technology is a patchwork of unequally adopted standards, connected blocks and proprietary solutions. This usually leaves us trusting those who build apps and devices. When Apple informs iPhone users that they might have been targeted by a spyware, users trust that the company is telling the truth and sharing real information. When Google tells us that our account is secure and only we can access it, we trust them. How those companies actually implement privacy and security is unknown, we trust them to be doing it correctly. But trust can be built through a lot more than a relation with a company. It can be cultivated with open source code, with the adoption of secure and well-known protocols, through reproducible build and deployment process, and through the infrastructure and hardware it runs on. Trusted protocols for example can participate in building trust. TLS, OAuth, The Signal protocol: those are all standards and protocols that have been adopted across industries and that allow us to shop online safely, connect to our banks securely or message people privately and security. Fundamentally, they provide security in a way that doesn’t require trusting intermediaries: an encrypted Signal message could go through a dozen servers, yet only the sender and the recipient can read it. But protocols aren’t sufficient, and the trust they provide can be weakened when implemented in a non-transparent manner. WhatsApp implementing the Signal Protocols means we still have to trust the company building the product when its history provides limited reasons to do so. To illustrate this: A range of recent, and relatively questionable, lawsuits against Meta alleged that WhatsApp did not, in fact, implement E2EE encryption and could access user messages. While there are strong reasons to think those are part of a smear campaign, with WhatsApp code being proprietary, there is no means to ensure that the Signal Protocol is indeed properly implemented, and has remained so with every update of the app since the work done between the Meta and Signal. Protocols are not silver bullets that, when deployed, simply create security and cannot be broken. In the same way that a spyware installed on a smartphone can access and siphon plain-text messages from any encrypted app like Signal, it is possible for an app developer to insert code to exfiltrate messages, or private keys for later decryption. Some of this can be audited by monitoring app traffic but there are limitations. What we need to build infrastructure trust Completely avoiding the need to trust those who create and deployed software is hard, but reducing this trust to the bare minimum is feasible and desirable. It will always feel safer to trust a company saying “You don’t have to trust us, you can trust our security and test it yourself” than one saying “Just trust us”. Whether in the context of discussion around digital sovereignty or pushing back against digital monopolies, creating systems that offer built-in trust rather than requiring trust in companies offers security and autonomy guarantees that are hard to overstate. For mobile app for example, this translates into: Open and trusted protocols: building on secure foundations that are battle tested, benefit from multiple implementations and supported by a community Free and open source software: providing transparency that allows code auditing Reproducible builds: providing certainty that what you are running is what the developer released and hasn’t been altered Control over the infrastructure: access to the physical machine in charge of the actual computation is crucial in preventing manipulation and intrusion F-Droid implements many of those things. Reproducible builds have been a core part of making releases of Android apps in a fully automated way since 2015. We have full control over the server used to build and publish apps, along with a strict security model. Most of those things run on open source software, rely on open and trusted protocols and benefit from the active communities that develop and maintain them. At a time where pressure is mounting with regards to who owns our infrastructure and systems, building and using tools that create trust enables us to limit our dependency on unreliable actors who can put entire ecosystem in jeopardy on a whim. Yet seeking autonomy does not need to mean isolation. Those steps might reduce our dependency on private actors, but they require a strong and healthy open source ecosystem to thrive. It switches our reliance from companies with private interests that might change to communities of actors that collaboratively build open tools. If this is something that resonates with you and you want to support F-Droid to continue in these efforts, consider making a donation.
  • New financial support for F-Droid thanks to FLOSS/Fund (2026/05/26 00:00)
    Some exciting news from 2025, F-Droid was awarded $50,000 in funding from FLOSS fund, an initiative dedicated to supporting critical, impactful, and valuable Free/Libre and Open Source projects globally. This support comes when the project needs it most. Our volunteer-run app ecosystem is growing stronger with open source mobile tech now carrying more hope than ever, thanks to this kind of backing. Some information about FLOSS/Fund FLOSS Fund aims to donate up to $1 million annually to FLOSS projects worldwide with ‘no strings’ attached with the purpose of empowering developers and maintainers through financial resources to sustain and grow critical open-source ecosystems. Notable FOSS projects like Blender, FFmpeg, OpenStreetMap have gotten this support in the past and now F-Droid has too. The introduction of the funding.json standard, built on JSON, allows projects to add funding details in the codebase, making it easier for backers to navigate aid efforts. This streamlines donor support and quietly builds a stronger financial foundation across community-driven tech work. How to apply for the Fund If your app is on F-Droid you may qualify for FLOSS fund.  The fund is currently focused on supporting existing, widely used and impactful open source projects towards their long term sustainability. If your app has a meaningful user base, we encourage you to apply by: Creating a funding.json file as directed here and add the manifest to your project’s repo Submit the application via the portal FLOSS Fund Await feedback - the FLOSS Fund team is very responsive to emails. Once accepted, they will reach out for paperwork i.e., residency tax documents and an agreement as required by Indian law. The disbursement is done once the documents are received. Here is what the F-Droid project page looks like to see an example and here you can find the registry of other projects requesting funding. Please note, we are aware that there is an error message on the page and FLOSSFund is actively fixing the bug :) How we will use the funds This funding goes to support the work in maintaining F-Droid as a trusted source distributor of free and open-source Android apps. This means better systems, safety checks, and public involvement so F-Droid stays trustworthy, respects privacy, while offering a contrasting option compared to mainstream app centers. Because of this support, we will be able to: Move some key tasks forward like supporting core operations i.e., updating infrastructure, securing new features for better access to ad-free, community-built software reaching more users. In turn, bug fixes happen faster with larger goals taking shape through improved app reviews and faster updates hitting devices. Working on supporting a new format called funding.json. This is a standard way for app creators to share information about how people can donate money to support their projects. Once this work is complete, F-Droid Server (the tooling we use to manage our app store) will be able to automatically collect donation information from app projects that have set up funding.json on their website. How we show donation information on our website and app won’t change. But app creators can also keep providing their donation information directly. For 15 years now, F-Droid has striven to give people real power by giving them control over their devices through trusted and verifiable open source software/apps. Because of support like this, the project’s sustainability is reinforced, allowing innovative ideas that benefit the community; users, developers, etc.  We extend our heartfelt thanks to the FLOSS fund team for their belief in our mission.
  • I heard you liked categories, so I added... (2026/05/22 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 22 May 2026, Week 21 F-Droid core Exploring user feedback for client version 2.0, we heard users articulating the need to easily find apps. One way to improve this is search, and we’ve made great strides there. Another way is with Categories, which were improved three-fold. First, we’ve expanded the categories list so in just two touches you get closer to a selection of apps resembling your wish, even without searching. Second, to make the expanded list of new categories more user friendly, we’ve added “meta” categories (work in progress for standardization in the F-Droid ecosystem) in the Discover tab, and these account for the first touch mentioned above. Third, search uses categories and their descriptions to enhance the results and to guide the user closer to a good FLOSS app. This week we’ve also destroyed the Games category and re-created it as 17 unique ones, separating games by gameplay type. Community News Fennec F-Droid was updated to 151.0.0 adding the long awaited AI control setting to the mobile client. Will you keep it ON or OFF? Short changelog here. FLARE was updated to 1.15 but the package is missing libraries and assets. Please skip this update, we will fix it in the next version. Flux News was updated to 2.0.0 becoming an actual podcast player too, with subscriptions, downloads, offline listening, playback speed control, sleep timer, chapter selection and progress synchronization via the Miniflux backend. GitNex for Forgejo and Gitea was updated to 13.0.1 with a revamped app UI from the ground up to be M3 Expressive. Read the full changelog for the long list of improvements. Hermes Agent, Run local AI models with chat, files, voice, and Android tools, was just added, but maybe just avoid installing it for now. The app is a fork using an appid that was initially fine but eventually rejected by the original upstream developers. The fork developer is working to re-include the app with a fresh appid (as our docs advise) soon. MakeACopy was updated to 4.1.1-paddle now being powered by the newly open-sourced PaddleOCR lib. OONI Probe was updated to 6.0.2, the UI got cleaned up in version 6.0.0 so this one just adds up to the experience. The devs also posted about protecting the public records and how journalists and media organizations use the app around the world. Orgzly Revived was updated to 1.20.0. Besides the usual fixes, one new feature we missed to highlight since 1.16.0 is the “calendar provider”. Now your notes with SCHEDULED and DEADLINE timestamps appear as calendar events in a new local calendar named “Orgzly”. Entries get updated on every change, calendar color can be customized, you can save search results as a calendar, handle recurring events and link back from calendar notes to Orgzly notes (in Android Settings, Apps, Orgzly, open by default, Add, check entry). WAFRN was updated to 1.13.5 polishing the way the app is built and used. Another improvement is that the app is now build reproducible signed by the developer. If you’ve installed the app before this week, better uninstall it and install the new version. Tip: Users of F-Droid and Basic client 2.0-alpha will immediately notice this in the MyApps page Spring Cleaning While we always plan on doing continuous cleaning of old apps, it takes time for contributors to delve into apps info, gather candidates, have others verify, amend and merge once decided. Last major cleanup was in September 2024 and we explained then how this process works from our point of view and what users should expect. The cleanup listed below took into consideration the date of the last update (more than 2 years ago) and the targetsdk of the app (less than 24 aka Android 7). We’ve explained what targetsdk is all about in our Feb 2024 post. Basically, we archived apps that were targeting Android versions older than 10 years, that themselves didn’t see any development for the last 2 years and were no longer installable on Android 15 and later. If you are using our latest F-Droid or Basic client 2.0-alpha versions you can already see any app that was archived being listed in the Apps with issues section of My Apps screen.

  • Mapping updates (2026/05/14 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 14 May 2026, Week 20 Community News aFreeRDP was updated to 3.26.0 with an UI overhaul and a lot of fixes. The old BlackCandy app was archived as the developer lost the key. Hence the app got a new app ID and new key and BlackCandy, Black Candy for Android, was newly added. If you’ve installed the app before this week, better uninstall it and install the new version. Tip: Users of F-Droid and Basic client 2.0 alphas will immediately notice this in the MyApps page CoMaps - Hike, Bike, Drive Offline with Privacy was updated to 2026.05.06-11-FDroid adding a feature sought out by users for so long, “check for updates”. While OSMAnd~, updated to 5.3.10 this week, allows for updates at any time, CoMaps and it’s upstream Organic Maps・Offline Map & GPS, today at 2026.05.08-4-FDroid, were limited by releases. Basically you needed to wait for a new app version to get updated maps. Did a new bike lane open? Is the bridge closed for repairs? The bus added 2 more stops? Well, you’ll get that next month, at least the cadence of releases is pretty on point. Starting with this release you can get map updates in CoMaps as fast as they are out, and you can finally prioritize updating the map only and save on mobile data on the road. This might help you in the future too as even if the app might need a newer Android version than your device got, you could still get some newer maps, for a bit more. FMD and FMD edge were updated to 0.15.0 fixing UnifiedPush compatibility when using Conversations as a distributor. Github Store was updated to 1.8.2 polishing the experience brought by 1.8.0. What’s new? A new backend, library imports, mirrors and token improvements first. Then we continue with APK inspect, Dhizuku support, Obtainium interop, add from starred, manual and background refresh, sorting, installer attribution and more. And finishing with fixes, polished features and improvements. UntrackMe was updated to 2.0.0 after almost three years. As Android versions keep limiting what apps can achieve, the app was revritten as a browser, that opens your links and, based on your settings, cleans up the URL to be opened by your normal browser or app. Newly Added Apps 20 more apps were newly added Areada: A lightweight offline EPUB, TXT, and PDF reader ConsoleFlow: Developer browser with automatic Eruda console injection Do It: A modern to-do app built with Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3 Felicity Music Player (Trial): Advance audiophile grade offline music player Gym Bott: Local-only exercise and routine tracking app to organise your gym workouts Holos: Holos: Mobile-first Fediverse client with your own ActivityPub identity LunaChron: Companion app for the Moonstone tabletop miniatures game Lune: Modern local music player Mahjong Scoring Compass: Automatic scoring compass for Riichi Mahjong Mindwtr: Local-first GTD task manager OpenPillReminder: Lady pill tracker for Android PhoneTrack SMS: Location sharing over SMS — no internet, no account, no data required Puzzle Suite: Minimalist puzzle games - Sudoku, Calc Sprint, Number Match & more SmartFind: Find your phone with an SMS from a trusted contact SOS Ring: Force ringtone for VIP contacts even in Silent/DND mode Summit for Lemmy: A fast and easy to use app for Lemmy TaffyQSL: Amateur radio logbook with ADIF support and QSO signing Tirailleur: A practical ballistic calculator for precision rifle shooting WR Battle Sim: Battle Simulator for WAR ROOM® Yelling: Secure messaging with chat, voice and video calls Updated Apps 214 more apps were updated (expand for the full list) 39C3 Schedule was updated to 1.76.0 Acode editor -

  • One can't have enough RAM (2026/05/08 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 08 May 2026, Week 19 F-Droid core F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to 2.0-alpha9, but that’s old news by now. Go update and test! We also fixed our website generation, as build cycles added apps updates, new apps and posts, yet these were not published on the website (but available in the client!). It appears our huge mix of more apps and more languages takes a toll on memory usage. It took a bit longer to debug with our server hoster (Thanks OSUOSL for your quick reaction and support!) as the process was locking the machine up in the same locale sending us on a wild-goose chase. Things cleared up when we “downloaded more RAM” so to speak. @linsui makes order in the mess: We got 5 new categories: Diet: Nutrition, calorie, food management and tracker Health Manager: Manager weight, heart rate, blood pressure, menstruation and other health metrics Schedule: Schedule for conference and event Text to Speech: TTS tools Time Tracker: Track time usage on activities and screen time …and more waiting for review. Our goal is to make discovering new apps easier, thanks to our client 2.0 search improvements that help users explore the catalogue. In due time huge categories like Internet and Multimedia might go away since apps are already covered by more granular ones. Community News We covered Conversations and now Quicksy changes in 2.19.16+free in last week’s post, but that one got delayed. Go read it as you might find that the new files storage workflow impacts you. Mindustry was updated to 8-fdroid-157.4 with some nice changes and more fixes followed. But our first build was crashing so we had to fix it and rebuilt it. If you’ve already updated to the crashing version you can fix this without losing your progress by either upgrading to the next update or, in the meantime, by downloading the fixed package directly and installing it. Nora was updated to 0.7.0 but it’s crashing. Upstream is aware, tracking the issue here, and we’re going to remove the faulty versions in the next cycles. If you did not update yet make sure to skip this version (in F-Droid or Basic, app details, upper right menu, “skip this update”). @linsui proxies the sync news: Are you the lucky citizen of a firewalled country? Well, we can’t say congrats, but we can provide tools to ease some of that pain. Usually we could recommend a proxy-server-app-url-thing, but maybe that’s hard to reach too. The newly added Lumine, A lightweight local HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy server protects TLS connections over TCP, tries to achieve the same level of Internet freedom by running the proxy on the device. Based on the, now archived TLSFragment, it gets a rewritten faster core, subscriptions, management UI and more. Murine Launcher, A modern, lightweight Launcher3 fork for an enhanced stock++ experience, was just added. We had trouble packaging Launcher3-based launchers for years. But now we get one! With the help of AI the dev successfully generated stubs for the framework jar which was the main blocker for packaging. This also opens the door for more Launcher3-based launchers. Would you like to help? SimpleX Chat was updated to 6.5.1 polishing the experience. But the big news came last week in 6.5.0 with added public channels, safe web links, and more. The developers also wrote about how public channels work and about the financial future of the project in a detailed post. Snowflake Volunteer, Help people in censored countries access the Internet without restrictions, was added. What’s Snowflake? Snowflake allows people to connect to the Tor network in places where Tor is blocked by routing the connection through volunteer run proxies located in uncensored countries. Similar to VPNs, which help users bypass Internet censorship, Snowflake disguises the Internet activity as a video or voice call, making users less detectable to Internet censors. What does the app do? It allows you to act as the proxy for those in need of one, yet this does not expose you as you are just an entry-node in their path through the Tor network. Thank you for supporting Internet freedom around the world, from your pocket! Though the official Syncthing Android client went to “development hell”, we still have a fork of it. And since then, there were two more clients added, BasicSync, which was just updated to 1.26, and the new SyncUp, An open-source Syncthing client, that comes with these features: Daemon runs in-process on Android. The Go daemon lives inside the app via gomobile. There is no subprocess to manage, no IPC between a background service and the UI, and no service-restart handling. Auto-accept folders from trusted peers. When you add a peer, you can toggle auto-accept so any folder they share is added to your device automatically without a prompt. Other pending offers show up as accept/ignore cards in the Folders tab. QR pairing works both ways. Display your device’s QR for a peer to scan, or scan theirs. The 56-character device ID never needs to be typed by hand. UI updates in near real time. Long-polling /rest/events means config changes, folder state, and incoming offers reach the UI in about a second, instead of on a polling interval. But one of the nicest highlights is that this new client supports SAF, which is a long awaited feature that was never implemented in the official client before its development stopped. Removed Apps One app was archived Thorium a PeerTube client: a PeerTube player Newly Added Apps 26 more apps were newly added Acutis Firewall: Parental control app that blocks adult content and dangerous sites on-device Backtalk: Backtalk: message yourself to stay organized Baseline: Gentle self-care for depression, disability, chronic illness, or burnout Cheese BTC Widget: Tiny home-screen widget showing the latest Bitcoin price in USD or EUR Ermis: Privacy focused chat application geminiAssist: WebView wrapper for Google Gemini Gitlalchemy: Native GitLab client for Android and desktop GitSync: Git client for syncing a repository between remote and a local directory Idle Fantasy: Idle RPG: train skills, fight dungeons, craft gear. No ads, no accounts. Jamfish: Delicious native music player for Jellyfin, based on Gelli Khushu: Private Muslim app for prayer, tasbih, study, and gentle reminders Martial Body: Offline 24-week MMA preparation trainer. No ads, no tracking, no cloud. Murem: Strip background music from YouTube videos using AI vocal separation NekoVideo: Modern video player with folder management, gesture controls and video cutting Office Break: Active break timer with exercises - reminds you to move at the office Paperless NGX Uploader: Upload documents to a Paperless-NGX server using the native share intent Perfice: Track anything, find the patterns that shape your life Permission Pilot: Apps permission overview RakuRaku IME: Traditional Chinese keyboard for the EZ Input Method, with English predictions SecureScreen: Protect selected apps from screenshots and screen recording SeekPrivacy: Hardware-hardened file isolation to defeat “All Files Access” surveillance ShutApp: Manage multiple computers on your local network remotely Stims: Keep your screen awake while specific apps are in the foreground SuperSMP Companion: Vote, shop & explore SuperSMP anywhere!

  • How do you backup your files in a private way? (2026/04/30 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 30 Apr 2026, Week 18 F-Droid core F-Droid and Basic alpha testing is working great, we’ve seen a pattern of issues that we’ve fixed and we’ve refined the UI with more user feedback and experiences. If you’re free in the next few days, do make sure you update to latest alpha8 and take it for a ride. You’ve read above and want to help? Get latest 2.0 by navigating to the F-Droid or Basic app details and check “Allow beta updates” in the top right three dot menu. Community News Bitcoin Wallet was updated to 11.03 and Bitcoin Wallet [testnet3] was updated to 11.04. These come after one year and besides the usual libraries update, they also now require Android 9 or later to run. Compass was updated to 2.0.0 getting a complete UI redesign using Jetpack Compose and full Malay and Nepali translations. Conversations was updated to 2.19.16-beta+free adding a fix for Prosody servers invites, one for long lists of contacts crashing on scroll, more video compression size options, input box respects system color, a faster way to send voice recordings, availability settings section and an improved media browser for in chat files (multiple selection, filter, share, save, delete). The media browser update comes to complement a big structural change: default location for files storage. Traditionally Conversations stored files in the user common storage area, up to Android 11 in its own Conversations/Media folder and since then, per Google rules, in Downloads, Pictures, Movies and Documents. This type of storage makes it easy for users to backup their own files under their own terms using self-hosted solutions like Nextcloud, Syncthing and more. But this also makes it easy for other apps to reach files received via Conversations, eg. files can be easily accessible from the gallery app or file manager, posing a possible security and privacy risk. While we host FLOSS app that respect user privacy and are transparent about their actions, not all users will run Conversations alongside good apps from F-Droid. With version 2.19.16-beta+free the default storage location is the in-app internal storage, accessible only to the app, and, using the new media browser, available to be saved and shared as the user wishes. This also fixes a pain point for message deletion, when done manually by deleting a whole chat, using the automatic setting or when moderated, as the app now deletes in chat files too. If you want the old behaviour back, make sure you open Settings, Attachments and toggle “Save to Gallery” to ON. Want to see the new changes? Navigate to the Conversations page in F-Droid and check “Allow beta updates” in the top right three dot menu. Home Assistant was updated to 2026.4.4-minimal after a 6 months pause as we waited for a dependency to get freed of it’s proprietary shackles. Go peruse the changelog since 2025.11.4 here. OsmAnd~ was updated to 5.3.8 with the usual large changelog: astronomy plugin, 3D buildings, globe view, more trip recording widgets, palette editor, bicycle width aware routing and a lot more. Do these sound good? We keep the updates a bit more under the beta label, but if you are courageous, open the OSMAnd page in F-Droid and check “Allow beta updates” in the top right three dot menu. OSS-Dict was updated to 2.0.0 adding support for MDict and StarDict dictionaries. If you know what those are, do test them thoroughly. searxist was updated to 2026.02.20 but also suffered a key change. If you’ve installed the app before last week, please uninstall it and reinstall it. There were 46 new apps added this week, thanks to the many devs who helped with reviews and tests. Recently we have got much more MRs to add new apps (I wonder why?!) and we have a big backlog. Sometimes it’s not that easy to test since different apps require different setups, but this task doesn’t require any experience in F-Droid development so anyone can lend us a hand. If you also want to help, don’t hesitate. Please pick an interesting app from those MRs waiting for testing, test it and post the results in the MR. You can help speed up the review process and improve the quality of new apps included in F-Droid.

  • F-Droid Board of Directors appointments 2026 (2026/04/28 00:00)
    I am pleased to be able to announce this year’s appointments to the F-Droid Board of Directors! We received a record number of nominations, and it was difficult to make a selection between so many excellent candidates. Thank you to everyone who spent the time to make a nomination, and to each nominee for their interest in voluntering for this role. Bekah Jones, Gina Plat, Juhani Lehtimäki, Sammy Fox, and myself, Sebastian Crane, have each been appointed for two-year terms on the Board of Directors. Hans-Christoph Steiner continues as Technical Lead with the renewed approval of the Board of Directors. Bekah joins us with a wealth of experience which will help F-Droid further empower its users: “I am so excited to be working with F-Droid as a director on the board! I am an IT professional and have been working in the field for 15+ years now, first as a web developer, and more recently as a support technician and systems administrator. My current job is in the public sector, and as such I am a huge advocate for open source and freely accessible software. I am also a hobbyist in the Smallweb/IndieWeb spaces, and I believe alternatives to overly corporatized and data-harvesting web services are incredibly important for today’s users. Maintaining and contributing to projects that protect people’s privacy in an ever more surveilled world is something that I fight for every day. I look forward to helping F-Droid and its community flourish as much as I can.” - Bekah Jones Gina brings first-hand experience of large-scale deployments of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) from across government, the private sector, and charities: “I’m incredibly honored to have been elected to the board of directors of F-Droid. Considering big tech’s control of the mobile ecosystem, it’s so important to have an independent, community-run app repository that keeps Android libre. I’m currently a member of the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) within the Dutch government, an admin of Fosstodon.org, and a huge advocate for open ecosystems. I will use my network and experience to support F-Droid as much as I can. Thank you.” - Gina Plat Juhani is a veteran of the Android developer community, with a background of championing FOSS in industry: “Hello F-Droid Community! I’m excited to introduce myself as a new member of the Board of Directors. Originally from Finland and living in southern Germany, I’ve spent over two decades as a software engineer heavily focused on the Android ecosystem since the 2.0/.1 days. Community building has always been central to my work, from running the “Android UI Patterns” blog and organizing meetups to my current focus on European tech sovereignty, FOSS usability, and better open-source funding models. My passion for F-Droid is rooted in my personal “de-Googling” journey, and I plan to use my industry background to help scale the project, improve its user-centric design, and keep our mobile ecosystems truly open. When I’m not advocating for digital freedom, I’m an avid trail runner out in the mountains; it’s a hobby that has taught me how to navigate long, challenging journeys, which feels perfectly fitting for the ongoing mission of the free and open-source software movement. I can’t wait to work alongside all of you!” - Juhani Lehtimäki Sammy has a track record of involvement in third-sector organizations and is an expert in community leadership: “I’m really glad to be joining the F-Droid Board at a time when independent, community-governed alternatives to the dominant mobile platforms matter more than ever. I’m a software engineer at the Wikimedia Foundation, and having previously served as a trustee of Wikimedia UK, I’ve seen firsthand how much it means when the people who rely on a project have a genuine say in how it’s run - that’s something I want to help F-Droid do well. I’ll be bringing my experience in open source governance and my belief in radical transparency to the role, and I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the board to support the project and the community behind it.” - Sammy Fox As for myself, I look forward to contributing as a member the F-Droid community even more in my second term on the Board of Directors - as before, I feel honoured to be able to play a part in such an important project. Leaving the Board of Directors this year are John Sullivan and Peter Serwylo. John was instrumental in the effort to create the Board of Directors as a vehicle for community-focused governance, and Peter’s involvement has brought continuity from F-Droid’s early development to its current structure. On behalf of the entire F-Droid community, I would like to thank them for their time, energy, and commitment during what has been a critical time for F-Droid. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Juliana Sims, who resigned part of the way through her term last year to prioritize tackling emerging threats to freedom - not just in technology, but in the communities of stakeholders which F-Droid serves as a project. Her contributions have made a positive impact to the F-Droid project which continues to the present day. We have reassigned the roles for the Board of Director’s new composition, with Marc Prud’hommeaux becoming Vice Chair, Neil Brown becoming Clerk, and Bekah Jones taking on the role of Vice Clerk. Vishal Bakhai and I will continue as Treasurer and Chair respectively. The composition of the Board of Directors is now as follows: Vishal Bakhai (Treasurer) - until 2027 Neil Brown (Clerk) - until 2027 Sebastian Crane (Chair) - until 2028 Sammy Fox - until 2028 Bekah Jones (Vice Clerk) - until 2028 Juhani Lehtimäki - until 2028 Gina Plat - until 2028 Marc Prud’hommeaux (Vice Chair) - until 2027 Hans-Christoph Steiner - ex officio
  • User testing gems (2026/04/24 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 24 Apr 2026, Week 17 F-Droid core F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to 2.0-alpha8. We are hard at work fixing the crashes you submit and also lending an ear to our user studies on how to polish the experience beyond us hard-core fans. Psst, let me tell you about users out there… they are waaay strange, hear me out: they want the keyboard to pop-up, then not pop-up, they want everything on screen at a glance, then they want to see only crumbs and “hunt for the good stuff”. But what do I know about UX, right? As much as I know about being a developer, and I play one on the Internet, hehe. Anyway, since the last alpha we’ve fixed the annoying crashes and liberated some space on the Discover page. Translations keep coming, so thank you for contributing. Here’s the changelog: Translations update from Weblate Add search history feature Move search into bottom nav bar and remove compact setting Make the add repo workflow more robust Add localized screenshots for Basic (not yet visible) Show keyboard in search screen when no results are shown Add more info to crash reports Fix crash with Nearby Fix crash when some old client settings were encountered Fix crash in Panic settings Fix crash when launching unavailable system activity (did someone de-bloat too hard?) …and more There are ongoing discussions, mock-ups, test builds, feedback being offered and considered, so alpha9 might hold more surprises up next. Liked what you’ve read above and want to help? Get latest 2.0 by navigating to the F-Droid or Basic app details and check “Allow beta updates” in the top right three dot menu. Community News FairScan – PDF Scanner was updated to 1.19.0. Given our strict policy on FLOSS software (and its deps), we’ve adapted the app recipe with the help of the developer to exclude some non-free components. Unfortunately at least two devices (rather specific Samsung ones running Android 12 from /e/ OS) see app crashes. If you did not update yet, maybe skip this version (app details, upper right menu, ignore this update), until we either disable it or release an update with a fix. Luanti was updated to 5.15.2 fixing at least two critical bugs. Read about them here while you update the app. Missed in March, but NymVPN – Private VPN has introduced Taler payments. If you have a Taler wallet from these exchange operators, you can hit the Taler -> Pay with Taler button and scan the QR code. Other places accepting Taler? A few more for now, but hopefully more in the future. We said goodbye to SmartScan, Search images and videos offline using text or by reverse image search, back in December 2025, but looks like it got a new life in 2026 and we’ve updated it to 1.3.0. The changelog is meaty, so dig in.

  • Exploring Sustainable Funding for Free Software (2026/04/20 00:00)
    If you have ever tried explaining the concept of free software to someone who is locked into a proprietary software ecosystem, you were probably met with some degree of confusion. The first question, “But if it’s free, how do the people that create it get paid?” And while it is an interesting question, It is not the right question. At least not at first. Free Open Source Software (FOSS) has an inherent marketing and communications problem, in that when most people see the word “free” they understand “without cost” or “gratis”. Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) does a somewhat better job at explaining this, however, those who are not familiar with French may not find the “Libre (L)” very helpful. Once we get past the fact that free can mean without cost, but doesn’t necessarily always mean without cost, we get to an arguably more interesting question, “What does free software mean?” From there we can explain the concept of a black box vs open source code, how free software improves transparency, trustworthiness, user freedom and sovereignty. We can explain how free software creates an environment that spurs innovation and creation, helping people solve complex problems by building on each other’s ideas. It’s wonderful and powerful, but then comes perhaps the most interesting question, “but if its open and people can build on each others ideas, then should you charge people to use it? How do the people get paid and how is this whole thing sustainable?” A main challenge the FOSS community has been grappling with for years is how to keep projects sustainable. Luckily the FOSS community is incredibly generous and passionate, with members contributing countless hours of their time voluntarily. Many FOSS projects start out because one developer encountered a problem, tried to solve it, then realized other people experienced the same problem and wanted to join in to try and solve it together. However, the developer’s dilemma is whether this approach is sustainable. Projects that run entirely on volunteer support can be fragile or struggle to scale because developer burn out and contributor turnover lead to unmaintained and underdeveloped projects, with less than stellar user support. In some cases it can even have significant upstream consequences or result in developers throwing their hands up in the air. So what can we do? Donations, grants, sponsorships, foundations and for-profit business models emerge as a way to tackle the issue. In some cases proprietary software companies hire and compensate developers to actively contribute to and maintain FOSS projects they use in their tech stack to ensure they remain stable and continue to develop. Some projects opt to use advertizing as a way to generate income, while others opt for free and enterprise versions to sustain themselves, because at the end of the day, if the developers don’t have a way to receive monetary compensation, their volunteer time resources will always be in direct competition with their day jobs. So what about F-Droid? Like many open source projects, F-Droid relies heavily on volunteer contributions, grants and donations to support new feature and infrastructure development as well as maintain the project. However, challenges such as unclear value communication, lack of transparency, and friction in donation flows continue to limit the effectiveness of funding efforts. So we asked the question, how can FOSS projects design donation management systems and governance that are both effective and aligned with community values? Over the past year, F-Droid has been researching this question as part of the Open Technology Fund (OTF) FOSS Sustainability Grant. This work allowed us to focus on understanding how FOSS projects manage donations, how users perceive funding requests, and what practices contribute to successful and sustainable donation management. Our research combined both quantitative and qualitative methods. We conducted a community survey with 84 responses and carried out a series of interviews with organizations, developers and users across the open source ecosystem. Then we shared the results of this work during a workshop at FOSDEM 2026 titled “The Funding Gap in FOSS: What We Learned and How to Close It”. Now it’s time to share our findings here with our community as well. Survey Says… Before we dive into results or the analysis, who took the survey? Of the 84 people that participated in the survey, 53 had contributed to FOSS projects, 27 were currently or had been FOSS project maintainers and 6 had been involved in running or conducting donation campaigns for FOSS projects. 19 out of the 84 had organized or participated in a donation campaign and reported their core challenges were organizing the campaign itself, including technical set up. They struggled with how to transparently report on the campaign and said they did not fully understand donor behavior and awareness, or the ethical aspects of receiving donations. Now what did they think about donations in FOSS? First of all, almost all said they believe it is acceptable for FOSS projects to ask for donations, indicating there was a shared understanding that donations were necessary in order to sustain and grow FOSS projects. More than half of respondents said asking for donations is extremely important. We were also interested in exploring which donation communication methods felt pushy and off-putting. The majority of the respondents reported that pop up notifications with a click to exit were their least favorite way of receiving information about donation campaigns. The key takeaway was that while donation campaigns are necessary, they should not be the first thing a user sees. Another key aspect of our research focused on what makes campaigns trustworthy, which strongly pointed back to how funds are managed. Respondents said transparency, honest and respectful communication are key, and that there needs to be clear project and donation goals. Community validation was important as well as consistent team members working on the project. They also said having easy, established and anonymous payment methods was important in how they perceived the campaigns. We also asked what kind of information donors would like FOSS projects to publicly communicate. Survey participants said the cost breakdown, funding goals, donation impact, how funds are allocated, annual reporting and legal organization and core number of contributors were important to them, which closely mapped back to factors that influenced a campaign’s trustworthiness. Notably users consistently acknowledged that FOSS apps/projects put in a lot of good work and deserve to get donations. However, there is an assumption that the “free” in FOSS means “gratis”, so users should not be pressured to donate. Indeed many FOSS projects do not ask for donations at all. Finally users reported that they are generally speaking alright with being asked to donate, so long as it is done properly and not in a way that spams, coerces or blocks usage of the apps. Alright, so what did the interviews tell us? Interviews We also conducted a series of interviews with organizations from the FOSS ecosystem to understand their best practices for donation management, including how to structure and communicate campaigns, and how to receive funds transparently. The interviews closely aligned with survey results, with participants highlighting specific campaign and project goals, impact communication, transparency surrounding the campaign, reporting on who is handling the funds, and consistency in messaging and team members, as key strategies for organizing and managing donation funds. Notably having clear policies, consistency and governance were key recommendations as well. Recommendations for F-Droid Based on the survey and interviews we identified several areas where F-Droid could improve its donations management, communications and campaigns, including the following: Improve donation allocation transparency via consistent reporting and updating our donations allocation policies (started, new donation travel policy implemented with more to come) Improve our website copy and design to communicate impact (completed in Feb 2026, donation page to be updated soon) Launch our first campaign in 2026 using research best practices Create donation campaign widgets and share with app devs to support them launching their own campaigns Communicate with past donors, thanking them and sharing impact Create clear donation tiers with impact description (completed in Feb 2026) Exploring partnership opportunities Communicate our values, mission, and vision for F-Droid (completed in Feb 2026) Include testimonials from past contributors and improve storytelling Making FOSS financially sustainable As with most research projects, the end is only the beginning. There is more to explore, more to expand on and definitely more work to be done. Making FOSS financially sustainable requires participation, experimentation, and collaboration; things the FOSS community does really, really well. There isn’t a lack of support when it comes to open source, but we do need better systems, governance and clearer communication between project contributors and their communities. Our research and the actions listed above are only the starting point to a much larger exploration into how we can make F-Droid and other FOSS projects more financially sustainable. In the spirit of free software, we would invite developers, maintainers, users and funders to continue engaging with us on this, share your experiences, successes and best practices as we help shape approaches to funding that are sustainable, transparent and true to the values of free software.
  • Tested in Full (2026/04/16 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 16 Apr 2026, Week 16 F-Droid core F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to 2.0-alpha7 as we start testing the Full client. Hopefully more can now join in testing so we get the ‘full’ picture of our ecosystem, and we can catch and fix more issues as they are reported by a more diverse batch of devices in the wild. Full changelog: Support a single canonical location for preloaded repos Support for restoring archived apps (Android 15+) Port old Nearby feature to new Full flavor Allow selecting mirror URLs in repo details Turn ‘export debug log’ into a preference Add option for compact bottom bar (will be removed in alpha8 based on user testing and Discovery page redesign) Speed up initial loading and order of data for main screen Add download speed and size remaining for downloads Want to help? Navigate to the app details and check “Allow beta updates” in the top right three dot menu. Some notes about the Full version, simply known as F-Droid, since it has more features than Basic these need a bit more time to get polished. The old Nearby code hit a last minute bug and might not connect (fixed in alpha8) but that’s more an issue with its age, both visually and function wise. The new Nearby code is close to being finalized, waiting for another round of funding. Also Panic settings might crash in certain conditions, fixed in alpha8 too. But it’s not all bad news, the new Full can now autoupdate, an old pain point, as it targets latest Android version, on par with Basic. Community News Call Limiter was updated to 0.3.8 but if you’ve installed the app before this week you might not get this update as the developer lost the key. Yes, that’s a thing that just happens, no matter what we try to teach devs. Anyway, if you have the old version, try to backup, uninstall and install the new one. Clock You just came back from the Archive, apparently we have 30+ clock apps, but not the perfect one for somebody. ConnectBot was updated to 1.10.3-oss with some bug fixes, but the big update came with 1.10.0-oss which featured a complete rewrite of the UI and many security additions. Read more here. DuressKeyboard was updated to 5.2 but we also added DuressKeyboardLite, a simplified version, which targets newer Android versions but has less features. Immich was updated to 2.7.5 as we were behind on updates for the last 3 months, some lib needed an update to get fully FLOSS. The team at FUTO wants to build a backup service, encrypted and all that, hence if that sounds like something you’d consider, make sure you drop by and submit some info in their survey. J-K Bike - Mechanical Disaster Prevention Pro was updated to 4.0.1 as the new version split takes place, it has more features, such as tracking multiple bikes and components and generate activities on schedules. We also added the “non-pro” version, J-K Bike - Mechanical Disaster Prevention, Build positive bike maintenance behaviours, for rides quick, big or epic, a simpler app for beginners. Offline Translator was updated to 0.3.1 adding vertical text support for Japanese (re-download the language to get the new model) and Text-to-Speech via Piper models (don’t pick the high quality models as they are much slower). Suntimes was updated to 0.17.0 and what a changelog they have, wow. Material You UI sounds like the smallest feature, so many things to control from time and place, maps projections, and a lot more. Do note that the widget will get removed, and you’ll have to add it again to your screen. Tor VPN Beta was updated to 1.6.0Beta-x86_64 with this boring changelog. What’s more interesting is that the app got a code audit by the folks of Cure53 and you can read about it here. Vespucci - an OSM Editor was updated to 22.0.0.0 with a huge changelog: new iconography, export&import, custom certs, better geometry interaction and splits, better windowing & styles and much more. @shuvashish76 grabs some needles: Starting 20 May 2026, customers using Kindle and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 and earlier will be left for dead as Amazon will cease to support these devices. While we understand the technical reasons for such a change, we decry the e-waste created from devices that would work fine otherwise, given their purpose. Luckily the FLOSS community has been preparing for such cases for years, so if you want to “liberate” your device you probably can, and you can use apps like KOReader to enjoy them a bit more time. The SwatchIt dev created a special page for the app, which also explains the why and the how.

  • In the mirror universe (2026/04/09 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 09 Apr 2026, Week 15 F-Droid core Mirrors are an integral part of F-Droid, as a vector for decentralization and user freedom. Besides our main servers, we had about 16 mirrors spread between Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, Sweden, Taiwan, Singapore and the US. While the spread seems good enough, this planet is larger than 9 countries, no matter how good Internet interconnections are. This April we’ve added 3 more mirrors from Romania meant for better coverage around the Balkans as a whole. The new servers are activated by default so you don’t need to setup anything. Many thanks go to chroot and Hostico for providing them, but also for being long time supporters of many important FLOSS projects. I feel that my app installs are slow and my country was not listed above! Sure, networking is a complex subject, let’s also detail a bit what it takes for a mirror to end up in your client. Given that we are celebrating 16 years of F-Droid means we are thinking in the long term, and we expect the servers that we use or link to, to have the same goals. Any future mirror needs to be hosted on like-minded infrastructure. What does this mean in practice? First of all, we are few and we probably don’t live near you, we need you to step up and lead this process for your own benefit first and then for all the others around you. There are many hosters that might be sympathetic to our (and your) cause, so you’ll start by finding those in your country that might be a good fit. Seek a contact method (e-mail probably), try “tech support” not “accounting”, and ping them with the question, in your native language. No matter the order of actions, you’ll need to look around and dig more info about them. Take a look at how they are hosting in general. Is it another CDN (we already have Cloudflare, no need for another instance of it, thanks), baremetal, VPS or an array of Raspberry Pi’s? Can its hosting cope with another Google announcement of locking Android even more? We know our main server fronters cry a bit when news is out… Who hosts it? Is it a company, institution or individual? How is their public track record? Are they already mirroring other FLOSS projects like the Linux Kernel, Debian, Arch, etc.? Do they have a privacy policy? Are they supporting privacy by default? Are they not retain any data longer than is necessary? If a mirror was set, we can start to monitor it to assess its speed and consistency of synchronizing, by first listing it in our mirror-monitor. And if all these above are true and good, did you test it in your client? Multiple clients? Everything was fine for a few weeks? Many questions need to be asked, but this ensures the next time you want to get the latest index, update apps or install a new app, everything runs smooth and you spend more time exploring that app and not watching a “snake” slithering slowly across your screen. Want to start this journey for your country? Join our discussion in the dedicated issue, as we can share some stats and maybe a template for you to use when contacting hosters around you. Community News The old Lichess app was replaced by the new one, added last week, and aptly named the same: Lichess. If you’ve installed the app before last week make sure you install the new app and uninstall the old one. Session F-Droid was updated to 1.33.2 but this might the last version, as the whole project is so under funded that they have entered their last 90 days of service. We’ve told you about their donations plea 3 weeks ago but since they did not reach the needed $1 million (this is the yearly cost of operation) all employees were let go and only maintenance by volunteers will take place until July 8. Read the full announcement here. CodeDoctor puts on the bunny ears: Happy Easter to everyone! As a special treat for the holidays, I am incredibly excited to announce the release of Butterfly 2.5.0! The update brings many long-awaited features and improvements to the app. From a rebuilt template system to custom keybindings and new touch shortcuts, this release focuses on customization and stability. Highlights: 📓 Rebuilt Template System 🎨 Shape Styles ⌨️ Custom Keybindings 👆 New Touch Shortcuts ☁️ WebDAV Rewrite 📄 Improved PDF Rendering 🔷 Improved Polygon Workflow 📁 File Management Improvements 🖥️ Better Presentation Mode 💾 Better Export & Data Settings 🔤 Better Arabic Font 📋 Improved Logs Read more here @shuvashish76 sharpens the feed: NewsBlur - News reader was updated to 14.2. We skipped version 14.0 so this update adds even more polish and fixes on top. What’s new? You get a redesigned reading experience, discover related sites, daily briefing, refined dark themes, story list header bar, redesigned preferences and menus, Ask AI and more.

  • It's metadata all the way down (2026/04/03 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 03 Apr 2026, Week 14 F-Droid core F-Droid Basic was updated to 2.0-alpha6, and we’ve announced it already in a, we hoped, humorous toot back on April first. That ending flew over some heads or maybe people want to hear more good news than “coping jokes”. Full changelog: Faster DB queries (thanks Peter!) Support for new categories Auto repair corrupted search index Make app installs more robust Improve Chinese search queries Fix name and summary localization in app details Fix CJK language search in app lists and My Apps Fix RTL presentation of updates Fix crash when removing screenshots from disk cache Fix crash when deleting repos Fix overlay issues in landscape mode on small screens Fix themed app icon …many unit tests We’re in the phase of polishing, catching edge-case bugs and waiting for your feedback. Compact bottom-bar for smaller devices? Search button on bottom-bar for that one hand reach-ability? Download speeds display? All considered, mocked, tested on devices, improved. And more to come. The latest batch of updated strings were pushed to our translation portal so make sure you not only translate but use the app in hand as reference for meaning and context. If you thought your locale was up to date last week, get ready for over 110 new strings! Want to help, not only to read text? Install F-Droid Basic, if you don’t have it already, navigate to the app details and check “Allow beta updates” in top right three dot menu. Community News ArcaneChat and Delta Chat were updated to 2.48.0. Their last week changelog and Fediverse posts were interesting, their latest blog is even nicer. What’s new? Less metadata in certain places, testing native calls via peer-to-peer WebRTC on Android, iOS and Ubuntu Touch, descriptions for groups and channels, audio messages that play in the background, rewritten downloads, multi-path delivery and more. If you’ve been holding off updating Syncthing-Fork we have two pieces of news for you. First, the original dev continues to collaborate still, we know this was a pain point back then. Second, we’ve just added BasicSync, A simple app for running Syncthing, which just controls Syncthing’s running behaviour as hands off as possible, while the original service hums in the background. Ente Auth - 2FA Authenticator was updated to 4.4.19 with bug fixes and improvements but Ente Photos - Encrypted photo storage to 1.3.28 got more niceties. Back in February: likes and comments, admin and people management, ZIP downloads, QoL tweaks and more. And now in March: offline galleries, nicer layouts, social feeds, better ML, hidden photos tricks plus lots of fixes. In more Ente news, the new Ente Locker, An end-to-end encrypted document storage app, was just included, bringing the same polish from photos to documents and beyond. Get a quick look in the introductory post. EphemeralWorkProfile, Profile owner Android privacy app and ProtectedWorkProfile, Profile owner Android security app, are two new apps from the same developer, that use the Android profile feature to secure isolated spaces on your device, either temporary or more permanent. Kodi was updated to 21.3 after a three month delay, as its recipe needs a bit of finesse. You can read the changelog here. Lichess, The one open-source chess game, was just added as a new app, but it’s actually a full rewrite in Flutter that replaces the older lichess. The feature list is impressive and it has UnifiedPush support on top, gg. Threema Libre was updated to 6.4.0l overhauling the chat overview, protecting the master key with the Android Keystore system and more fixes. Since DeltaChat lobs the metadata topic, looks like Threema has something to say too, talking about paid services vs anonymity, hijacked accounts and more, in their 10 minute post. @shuvashish76 reads acronyms: Episteme Reader was updated to 1.0.40-oss adding OPDS catalogue support, DOCX file support and many improvements. Thore Göbel rotates the USB and tries again: FMD devs are now publishing developer-signed APKs in their custom repository. The packages on F-Droid are not yet migrated to reproducible builds, but things are shaping up to be soon. Notably, FMD has published detailed documentation and scripts about their experience of using a Nitrokey HSM. Hopefully, this helps other Android developers to sign their apps with hardware keys!

  • How to pre-add repositories to F-Droid in Android ROMs (Important changes in 2.0) (2026/03/28 00:00)
    If you are publishing an Android ROM, you can add some extra pre-installed repositories to the F-Droid app which otherwise only includes the official F-Droid repository. If you wanted to add the repository of the Guardian Project for example, you could add the following JSON file to one of the following locations of your choice: /system_ext/etc/fdroid/additional_repos.json /product/etc/fdroid/additional_repos.json /vendor/etc/fdroid/additional_repos.json [ { "name": "Guardian Project", "address": "https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo", "description": "The official app repository of The Guardian Project. Applications in this repository are official binaries build by the original application developers and signed by the same key as the APKs that are released in the Google Play store.", "certificate": "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", "enabled": true } ] Important warning The old method of adding repositories using an XML file will not work in F-Droid 2.0. We suggest to ship both, the JSON and the XML file as soon as possible until F-Droid 2.0 has stabilized. App specific repositories If you want to add repositories only to a specific app instead of all F-Droid clients, you can add a JSON file to a location including the app’s package name: /system_ext/etc/[packageName]/additional_repos.json /product/etc/[packageName]/additional_repos.json /vendor/etc/[packageName]/additional_repos.json The official variants of the F-Droid app have these package names that could replace [packageName] in the paths above: org.fdroid.fdroid org.fdroid.basic
  • Roads ahead (2026/03/27 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 27 Mar 2026, Week 13 Community News ArcaneChat was updated to 2.46.0 and Delta Chat to 2.47.0 and their changelogs almost match. The team is fairly active in the Fediverse and wants to make people realize that while end-to-end encryption for your messages is nice, the metadata surrounding them might reveal a lot more than one wants. Their latest infographic covers one app from BigTech, but you can compare that with your current solution and strive to limit metadata as much as possible. Fennec F-Droid was updated to 149.0.0 and you can read the changelog here. Did you update yet? Then you might have seen the strange notification that now pops-up, about UnifiedPush. It appears it’s part of some code reorganization that’s not yet done. We are tracking this issue here and you can read how to hide the notification so it’s no longer annoying. NOTE: While the word “push” has big corporation connotations, that’s just the result of how it was abused. UnifiedPush is an open standard protocol, and we’ve been covering it since its inception. You can read all about that in our older post. In more UnifiedPush news, FMD and FMD edge were updated to 0.14.2. If you’re using them with your favorite UnifiedPush distributor maybe double-check if they are registered ok, FMD is working towards updating this code and some distributors, like Conversations (and forks), might not work until ready. Also Prism, Privacy-first UnifiedPush distributor with an optional self-hosted server, was just included offering an alternative in this diverse ecosystem. Saracroche was updated to 2.7.0 and celebrates one year of existence. You can read (in French or use Fennec offline translation) about the road behind and the one ahead. SchildiChat Next was updated to 0.11.0-ex_26_3_3 after a five month hiatus while reproducibility issues were fixed. WebLibre: The Privacy-Focused Browser was updated to 0.10.0 with a huge changelog. If you want to try an alternative to the Fennec UI, but based on the same engine, you now have more reasons. @linsui counts to potato: We’ve just added two new apps in the Calculator category to a total of 40+2. While we have so many calculator apps, do all of them calculate? Let’s try a simple test: 10000000000.1 - 10000000000. Simple. The answer should be 0.1, right? (Don’t cheat, don’t open some app, wait and read!) Yet some apps don’t think so. The new added SoulCalc, Schulrechner and Calculator You told me 0.1000003815. CalcYou told me 0, the new Calculator M3 said the same but it’s fixed now. CuteCalc, Neumorphic Calculator and Mint Calculator told me 0.10000038146972656. Qalculate! told me 100⋅10^−3. PariDroid told me 0.099999999999999999999999999979805160823. And yetCalc crashes on start and the working version also thinks that the answer is 0.10000038146972656. Glad to see that most calculators in F-Droid know how to calculate, but looks like this is not a very easy task to achieve. @shuvashish76 dusts an old second factor: FreeOTP+ was updated to 3.2 after two years. It’s now updated to Material Design 3 and got some security fixes. Other apps did not stand still during this time, our “Password & 2FA” category has a lot of nice apps. Removed Apps 2 apps were removed DesktopLabel: Custom desktop label widgets Pi Locker: Lockscreen Newly Added Apps 16 more apps were newly added BlueGate: Control bluegate BLE gate controller Calculator M3: Clean, private calculator with zero data collection. Offline. No ads. Cashiro: Offline expense tracker for bank SMS and PDF statements with optional AI chat DropCount: A recreation of the classic Drop7 puzzle game End of Updates Checker: Check until when your phone gets updates GifBoard: Search and share GIFs directly from your keyboard Golden Ticket: Lottery simulation game - explore strategies without spending money Iremi Breathing App: Breathing exercises to reduce anxiety iTrack workout tracker: Workout tracker for managing your fitness routines MetaPurge: Locally strip sensitive EXIF/metadata from your photos Nontrinsic: Where nonsense lives on Numerus: Train oral comprehension of numbers in foreign languages with real speech clips OceanNex for DigitalOcean: Manage Your DigitalOcean Infrastructure podium (Podcasts): A modern, open-source Podcast app SoulCalc: Notepad-style calculator with variables, line references, multi-line support TapDucky: Run DuckyScript over USB HID.

  • Patience is the key (2026/03/19 00:00)
    This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 19 Mar 2026, Week 12 F-Droid core Even if not daring enough to install our latest client in development, we reiterate our message: get people to install F-Droid now, before it’s too late. It’s a small gesture that will prove to be critical for the future of Android as you and me have grown to love! Now, F-Droid Basic was updated to 2.0-alpha5: Updated strings and translations (Is your locale 100% translated yet?) Improved loading of app details page Refresh app lists on app status changes Don’t close screenshot when rotating device Fix RTL language presentation of updates …and more For CJK users, meaning Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, we recently fixed a bug in search, if alpha5 fails to find some apps, this will be fixed in the next version. Community News “Touchy slide keyboard app will soon require an US corporate account - data to be moved to BigCloud” article sounds like some statement dreamed up by the utterly Deranged. One year has passed since our own “Even my keyboard is built reproducibly” article was published, and we’ve been adding and updating keyboard apps on and on, so just pick one and use it!!! aTalk was updated to 5.2.1, a hot-fix to the big 5.2.0 update. What’s hot? A lot, and the big news is support for the latest OMEMO specification v0.9 aka OMEMO 2. This is great news, but even if OMEMO is well supported in the XMPP ecosystem, most apps support v0.3 and none did OMEMO2 on Android before aTalk. We hope this encourages other projects (ahem and their forks ahem) to move forward. In more messaging news, Briar was updated to 1.5.17, keeping Tor up to date. Unfortunately the app appears to be in maintenance mode, as after the Material Design 3 upgrade it only got minimal development, and that was almost 2 years ago. CastLab was updated to 1.1.0 last week and it’s worth a highlight. Besides bug fixes, it adds some new features: support for the open FCast protocol, external display casting via USB-C and Screen sharing. K-9 Mail and Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox were updated to 17.0 adding per account avatars (JPG only for now), foldable devices support, printing emails and more. While Thunderbird Beta for Testers was updated to 18.0b2 adding PNG support for avatars and many fixes. LabCoat has a minor update to 2.8.0 with an authentication token fix. If LabNex is still not ready for your Gitlab workflow, you can cover some tasks again on the go. Session developers are asking for your help, PFS and post-quantum cryptography are still in progress, and more work needs to be funded. Newly Added Apps 15 apps were newly added Baker’s Percentage Calculator: Calculate baker’s percentages and scale recipes with ease Blue Line Solar Info: Sun & moon information CountryCount: Track countries, visualize your progress, and explore where you’re going next ELM327 Emulator: OBD-II ELM327 adapter emulator for testing diagnostic apps Fairphone Moments: A minimalist way to use your phone with less distraction FinalRozGameNew: A pixel art 2D speedrun platformer featuring 17 levels and isometric mechanics Fokus Launcher: Minimal launcher with clock, weather, fast app search, and gesture navigation Haven SSH Client: Secure SSH terminal, VNC desktop, and SFTP client Homer Audio Player for Seniors: Caregiver-managed audiobook and podcast player for seniors iyox Wormhole: Secure, open-source file sharing NFC Archiver: Store and restore files across multiple NFC tags NoteSR - Encrypted Notes: Secure offline notes with AES-256 encryption and encrypted file attachments Olvid: Private messaging for everyone SmartTube F-Droid: Browse media content with your own rules on Android TV Water Quality: Monitor pool and hot tub water quality with a BLE-YC01 Bluetooth sensor Updated Apps 212 more apps were updated (expand for the full list) Activity Launcher was updated to 2.2.1 Activity Manager was updated to 5.4.21 Alovoa was updated to 2.3.3 Amadz -
