F-Droid - Latest Packages

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! For more details, see the announcement blog post.

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

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.

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 -

This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 13 Mar 2026, Week 11 F-Droid core The countdown to September lock-down continues. Did you do your part? Did you contact your local representative yet? What did they answer? Did you install F-Droid on all you family’s members and close friends devices? Why not? Have them try a good FLOSS app today, we don’t have millions of apps but we host good apps that offer the transparency users deserve. Let’s show them that one does not need to be an advanced users to get good, privacy respecting apps, and when everyone installs F-Droid we are normalizing the freedom of users to decide that for themselves. Want to be more daring? Install or update to the latest F-Droid Basic version 2.0-alpha4. It brings: Tweak category layouts to separate groups of categories (Thanks Peter) Show banner alerting users to how Google developer verification threatens F-Droid (Thanks Peter) Evaluate and translate more strings DNS cache feature 2.0 refactor (Thanks Matthew Bogner) Update color definitions for light and dark themes (Thanks proletarius101) Consistent chip layout throughout (Thanks Peter) Show us in TV launchers (Feedback welcomed!) Fix bugs with keyboard navigation Show Discover screen faster and animate items Keep filter icon visible in app lists Allow filtering app lists by anti-features …and more And by the time you read this, 2.0-alpha5 might be live too… Want a good “starter” app in the world of FLOSS apps for Android? Have NewPipe, it was updated to 0.28.4 and, besides the usual fixes and improvements, it added a start dialogue to inform users about the Google plan to lock-down Android soon. Community News In stats news, @kitswas announces that all-time stat badges are available thanks to @BURG3R5. Now you can get badges like Downloads (all time) from the badge builder. And our own @grote is researching integrating download stats in F-Droid Client (hint: Basic 2.0-alpha already includes stats) and they’ve quickly put up a website that shows downloads in total and per category for the last year. Note that the numbers only cover our own servers and not our dozen or so mirrors, since these are used at random for each download, you might need to multiply the numbers.

This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 27 Feb 2026, Week 9 F-Droid core Banners aside, we’ve been working a lot behind the scenes on our website. Several functional and textual changes were on our TODO for years, just waiting for the right people to sit down and type the right words in their editors. Textual changes? We’ve rewritten our About, added Licenses, refined the Inclusion Policy, rechecked Contribute, upgraded Repomaker and detailed Donate. We also reordered top items, removed “Forum” entry (still in “About”), and more, to better describe our mission, what qualities F-Droid brings to the Android ecosystem, how to reach us, how to help and how to get help. If everything is not yet translated into your language please lend a hand in Weblate as the volume was rather high in a short period of time. Functional changes? Our website tooling needs specialized knowledge, and while we got contributors to help along the way, as mentioned in passed TWIFs, it needs someone to dig, test, rip out, test, rewrite, test some more, in a focused way to improve it. In the last months we got this help, switched to using index-v2 repository data and fixed some old pain points. With this modern format we can now show per app version changelogs, show Anti-Features details, so you know why these were added (already available in Client) and we fixed some missing permissions listings. Flicky was updated to 4.2.3 and Neo Store to 1.2.4 adding the usual UX polish and bug fixes. The apps are also joining F-Droid in the initiative to inform their users via an in-app banner about the campaign to keep Android open. In terminal land, the CLI client fdroidcl also added a banner in their Readme. Community News Conversations and Quicksy were updated to 2.19.11+free and then, a day later, to 2.19.12+free. The first update improved invitations flow, touched the MUC UX, fixed sharing IRC bridged channels, improved connection behavior with VPNs and Airplane mode and fixed four reported security issues. As the users got the update, some were no longer being able to login when using older server versions, eg. prosody 0.11 or ejabberd 23.01, as they can’t handle the hardened security setup. If you’ve updated to 2.19.12 and you still can’t connect, you can try to toggle off TLSv1.3 and/or Channel Binding in Settings > Security. But more importantly, please contact your server admin and ask them to upgrade, as they are 3 years or more behind security fixes. Also give them this link so they know to do it faster before they are cut off from federation next month. Ente Photos - Encrypted photo storage was updated to 1.3.15 and 1.3.16. If you are part of the 0.003% app users who run it on x86 or x86_64 Android devices be aware that 1.3.15 is the last version for you. Godot Engine 4 had an update this week, but we had to disable it. A library mix-up made all 4.6.1 packages be marked installable on all architectures, meaning that the highest versionCode package would be used for all. For arm64 users, the vast majority, there will be no issue, but for the rest the app would just crash. We are working on a recipe fix. Until then, you can peruse the release notes and maybe think about attending the GodotCon Amsterdam convention on 23rd, 24th of April. RHVoice - a free and open source speech synthesize was updated to 1.18.1 after one year of intense work. The app has now Material 3 theming and edge-to-edge support, on top of a lot of fixes. Tor VPN Beta, Tor-powered with per-app routing, access unblocking & network-level privacy, was just added. F-Droid’s history goes a long way in regards with collaborations with the Tor Project, via Guardian Project. We used to have the Guardian Project repo added by default in Client because their apps were useful and always just around the corner to be added in F-Droid. One such beloved app is Orbot, the proxy and VPN client that routes all connections through the Tor network. Fun fact: the in-Client “Use Tor” button was added expecting that Orbot will come to F-Droid “real soon now”, and other apps thought the same. Unfortunately that did not happen, creating a chicken-and-egg issue for users that needed to jump through extra hoops to find Orbot and use the Client, making Tor usage an “expert” level flow. Over the years, in order to allow any user of any tech experience be able to easily access Tor, Orbot (under the Guardian Project development) grew to emphasis the VPN mode and the Tor Project created the newly added app which removes the proxy mode altogether. A guide on how to use the app can be found here. F-Droid Client 2.0 is in development, and we are redesigning the proxy experience to simplify it. Newly Added Apps 3 more apps were newly added CajuScan: Record invoices in the Cashew app by scanning the QR code on Portuguese invoices Chord Progression Helper: A music app to write chord progressions, add simple drum beats and more EstudiaTAI: Practice tests for the Spanish AGE IT Assistant exams Updated Apps 210 more apps were updated (expand for the full list) 39C3 Schedule was updated to 1.74.2 8-Bit Wonders was updated to 0.8.9a AAT Another Activity Tracker was updated to v1.30 Activity Manager was updated to 5.4.18 Aegis Authenticator was updated to 3.4.2 AFWall+ was updated to 4.0.2 AI Hub was updated to 2.0.1 AniHyou -

Nominations are now open for this year’s appointments to the F-Droid Board of Directors! We are looking to select up to four volunteer directors to serve for two years each. You may nominate yourself or someone else (with their permission). Please send nominations by email to board-nominations@f-droid.org (one email per nomination) and make sure that the nominee is copied in. We will confirm receipt of each nomination, and we may also ask nominees additional questions by email to help us make a selection. To ensure consideration, please send nominations no later than the 16th of March, Anywhere on Earth (AoE). Who should be nominated? We seek to be an enthusiastic, collaborative and diverse board that can support the F-Droid community as effectively as possible. We welcome nominations of anyone committed to furthering the freedoms of computer users, particularly with regard to mobile devices. Nominees don’t have to have experience in software development or have served on governing boards in the past: we seek candidates from all backgrounds. What should I include in a nomination? So that we can best evaluate your nomination, we would like to see a description of why you think the candidate would make an excellent board member. Consider including some or all of the following: links to relevant social media profiles and personal websites examples of previous contributions to F-Droid or other Free and Open Source Software particular skills or qualifications that could be useful How will the new directors be selected? The nominations will be discussed by the current Board of Directors in a private meeting. The current directors will vote on each nominee. Existing directors are permitted to run for an additional term, but voting is weighted in favour of new candidates. For more information on the process, see our statutes. What is expected of directors? The main responsibility of directors is to participate in discussions with other directors via email and to communicate with F-Droid contributors and users (for instance, in threads on GitLab or the F-Droid Forum). Directors are also required to respond promptly if a vote is called. In addition, the Board of Directors holds a monthly video conference which lasts one hour and is open to the general public. In total, directors generally spend between one and three hours a week on activities relating to their position on the Board of Directors. English is the working language of the Board of Directors, so an adequate English ability is required. We would be more than happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that everyone is able to contribute, so please don’t hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions about these expectations. Directors must follow the F-Droid Code of Conduct and exemplify high standards in the F-Droid community. When will the new appointments be announced? Our intention is to decide on the appointments as early as the 19th of March and announce the selected candidates as soon as possible afterwards. We look forward to receiving your nominations! What is the current membership of the Board of Directors? Vishal Bakhai Neil Brown Sebastian Crane Marc Prud’hommeaux Peter Serwylo Hans-Christoph Steiner John Sullivan The terms of the following members are ending this year: Sebastian Crane Peter Serwylo Hans-Christoph Steiner John Sullivan

As we wrote about back in September in F-Droid and Google’s Developer Registration Decree, Google plans to enforce mandatory developer registration as a requirement for building and distributing Android applications worldwide. Android, currently an open platform where anyone can develop and distribute applications freely, is to become a locked-down platform, requiring that developers everywhere register centrally with Google in order to be able to distribute their software. This applies regardless of whether your software is distributed commercially on a competitive app store like the Samsung Galaxy Store, or through a non-commercial community app repository like F-Droid, or even by offering your app as a direct download from a web page. In all these cases, installing or launching any application on an Android Certified device (which constitutes over 95% of all Android-compatible devices outside of China) will phone home to Google to verify that the developer and the application has been approved. After an initial public outcry, Google rushed to assure developers that “sideloading is not going away”. This, as we pointed out in What We Talk About When We Talk About Sideloading, is simply untrue. Sideloading, their pejorative term for the direct and unintermediated installation of software of your choosing on the device that you own, is indeed going away if they follow through on their threat. Furthermore, future app store competitors, be they commercial or non-profit, will forever be disadvantaged by their developers being required to sign up with Google, bound to their (voluminous, non-negotiable, and ever-changing) terms and conditions, pay a fee, upload government-issued identification, and register each and every one of their applications with Google. But didn’t Google back down on Developer Verification? There was a brief sigh of relief in November when Google offered vague assurances in a blog post that they were going to design some “advanced flow” that might permit “experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified”. Some commenters went so far as to claim victory and assert that Google had backed down from the program altogether. Such triumphalism was premature and uninformed. We have since learned that no such “advanced flow” will be made available prior to the September lock-down. They purported to be “gathering early feedback on the design of this feature”, but this is also untrue: no such feedback has been sought from anyone outside of Google. Google’s official and unambiguous stance remains, according to their developer landing page, that: Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices. Google has refused repeated requests for concrete information about what form their so-called “advanced flow” will take, but it is reasonable to predict that if and when it is ever made available at some future point after the lock-down takes effect, it will be maximally obscure and high-friction. Such uncertainty makes it impossible to assess the viability of any “advanced flow” as a work-around for preserving software freedom, and so we must disregard it until it has been demonstrated and vetted by the community. Silence is consent; Resistance is not futile According to their official timeline, Google intends to open their developer registration console in March. This is the first phase of lock-down, where developers are to be offered the dubious privilege of paying Google so they can surrender their government identification, register all their applications, and become forever locked into Google’s terms and conditions for app distribution. We unequivocally advise against signing up for this program, now or ever. But mere inaction is insufficient to offer meaningful resistance to the program. Individual developers must also become advocates for software freedom: through their own projects, through blog posts, through social media, and by contacting their regional regulators. It is only through developer complicity that Google’s lock-down of Android can succeed. F-Droid stands in solidarity as a signatory to the open letter published today at keepandroidopen.org/open-letter. We join with such champions of free software and free speech as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Free Software Foundation Europe, the Software Freedom Conservancy, and dozens of other organizations around the world in repudiating Google’s overreach. We implore Google to listen to the overwhelming opposition to this program and change course. The Android Developer Verification program is a grievous breach of trust with the free and open-source community that helped propel Android to the dominant position it holds today in the mobile computing world. There is still time to regain trust as a faithful steward of Android, and to work together with the community to seek sound and measured approaches to improving the security of the platform for users everywhere. But that time, as can be watched on the countdown at keepandroidopen.org, is quickly running out.

This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 20 Feb 2026, Week 8 F-Droid core During our talks with F-Droid users at FOSDEM26 we were baffled to learn most were relieved that Google has canceled their plans to lock-down Android. Why baffled? Because no such thing actually happened, the plans announced last August are still scheduled to take place. We see a battle of PR campaigns and whomever has the last post out remains in the media memory as the truth, and having journalists just copy/paste Google posts serves no one. But Google said… Said what? That there’s a magical “advanced flow”? Did you see it? Did anyone experience it? When is it scheduled to be released? Was it part of Android 16 QPR2 in December? Of 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 last week? Of Android 17 Beta 1? No? That’s the issue… As time marches on people were left with the impression that everything was done, fixed, Google “wasn’t evil” after all, this time, yay! While we all have bad memories of “banners” as the dreaded ad delivery medium of the Internet, after FOSDEM we decided that we have to raise the issue back and have everyone, who cares about Android as an open platform, informed that we are running out of time until Google becomes the gate-keeper of all users devices. Hence, the website and starting today our clients, with the updates of F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, feature a banner that reminds everyone how little time we have and how to voice their concerns to whatever local authority is able to understand the dangers of this path Android is led to. We are not alone in our fight, IzzyOnDroid added a banner too, more F-Droid clients will add the warning banner soon and other app downloaders, like Obtainium, already have an in-app warning dialogue. Regarding F-Droid Basic rewrite, development continues with a new release 2.0-alpha3: Updated Translations Export installed apps list as CSV Add install history feature Add mirror chooser setting Add prevent screenshots setting Show tool-tips for all app bar buttons Create 3-dot overflow menu for My Apps for less frequently used actions Persist sort order of My Apps Adapt strings according to Material Design 3 guidelines Apply string suggestions (Thanks Lucas) Fix missing icon bug in pre-approval dialog Note that if you are already using F-Droid Basic version 1.23.x, you won’t receive this update automatically. You need to navigate to the app inside F-Droid and toggle “Allow beta updates” in top right three dot menu. In apps news, we’re slowly getting back on track with post Debian upgrade fixes (if your app still uses Java 17 is there a chance you can upgrade to 21?) and post FOSDEM delays. Every app is important to us, yet actions like the Google one above waste the time we could have put to better use in Gitlab. Community News Buses was updated to 1.10 after a two year hiatus. Conversations and Quicksy were updated to 2.19.10+free improving on cleaning up after banned users, a better QR workflow and better tablet rotation support. These are nice, but another change raises our interest, “Play Store flavor: Stop using Google library and interface directly with Google Play Service via IPC”. Sounds interesting for your app too? Is this a path to having one single version for both F-Droid and Play that is fully FLOSS? We don’t know yet, but we salute any trick that removes another proprietary dependency from the code. If curious feel free to take a look at the commit. Dolphin Emulator was updated to 2512. We missed one version in between so the changelogs are huge, luckily the devs publish highly detailed posts about updates. So we’ll start with “Release 2509” (about 40 mins to read), we side-track with “Starlight Spotlight: A Hospital Wii in a New Light” (for about 50 mins), we continue to the current release in “Release 2512” (40 more minutes) and we finish with “Rise of the Triforce” delving in history for more than one hour. Image Toolbox was updated to 3.6.1 adding many fixes and… some AI tools. Were you expecting such helpers? Will you use them? Luanti was updated to 5.15.1 adding some welcomed fixes. If your game world started flickering after the last update make sure to update. Nextcloud apps are getting an update almost every week, like Nextcloud was updated to 33.0.0, Nextcloud Cookbook to 0.27.0, Nextcloud Dev to 20260219, Nextcloud Notes to 33.0.0 and Nextcloud Talk was updated to 23.0.0. But are you following the server side too? Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter was just released adding a plethora of features. If you want to read about them, see the 30 minutes post here or watch the one hour long video presentation from the team here. ProtonVPN - Secure and Free VPN was updated to 5.15.70.0 adding more control to auto-connects, countries and cities. Also all connections are handled now by WireGuard and Stealth protocols as the older OpenVPN was removed making the app almost 40% smaller. Offi was updated to 14.0 with a bit of code polish. Unfortunately for Android 7 users, the app now needs Android 8 or later. QUIK SMS was updated to 4.3.4 with many fixes. But Vishal praised the duplicate remover, the default auto de-duplication function and found that the bug that made deleted messages reappear is fixed. SimpleEmail was updated to 1.5.4 after a 2 year pause. It’s just a fixes release, updating translations and making the app compatible with Android 12 and later versions.

This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Monday, 09 Feb 2026, Week 7 F-Droid core On 31 January & 1 February 2026 in Brussels, Belgium, part of the F-Droid Team and Board were at FOSDEM 2026. We had a booth to present our project but also had flyers, stickers, camera privacy widgets, mousepads, keychains and t-shirts if visitors were inclined to get some swag. We talked with so many people we can’t recall all the chats, but all were great and insightful. All those that were already users had one phrase to tell us: “Thank you for existing!” which is a rather specific way of saying something, but makes sense given the current Android context. We pressed with questions, asked about complaints and issues, yet most said “None”, people were happy to see updates faster but beyond that having the app just work and out of the way is what everyone wanted. The new Basic alpha was showcased, some were happy to see that apps with issues are finally made visible and that the app looks more “modern”, yet we did not see in person the same push-back focused against the new look that folks voice online. Was FOSDEM fun? Very much, yet it was exhausting as we were focused to talk with everyone at our booth, have great presentations, help out in the “FOSS on Mobile” room and still get a bit of time to visit other booths to interact with other projects. Finally meeting in the real world the people behind online monikers was a real experience in itself. Presentations? Yes, our team was part of a few: Marc Prud’hommeaux had “Fear and Loathing in the App Stores” F-Droid Team had “The Funding Gap in FOSS: What We Learned and How to Close It” Aysha from CalyxOS and our own Torsten Grote had “Open-source HSM-based signing for AOSP-based projects with limited resources: Lessons from CalyxOS signing redesign” Our friends from IzzyOnDroid had two interesting ones: Izzy with “Reproducible Builds for Android Apps” Sylvia with “IzzyOnDroid Download Statistics” And from our friends around F-Droid: Daniel Gultsch (Conversations and Ltt.rs) and Simon Gougeon (UnifiedPush developer) had “UnifiedPush - Push notifications. Decentralized and Open Source” Holger Krekel (DeltaChat) with “Autocrypt 2: Post-Quantum-Cryptography and Reliable Deletion (“Forward-Secrecy”)” Holger Krekel and missytake (DeltaChat) with “Multi-relay chat messaging & cryptographic identities with Delta Chat and Chatmail relays” Lucas Lasota (FSFE) and more, with “Interoperability regulation in the EU: Opening iOS and Android for Free Software” Did we miss your favorite one? We surely did, feel free to ping us! Community News FMD was updated to 0.14.0 and we also added FMD edge. This “cutting edge” version of FMD receives updates faster, more often, and slightly earlier than FMD. Fossify Calendar was updated to 1.10.2 fixing a crash in 1.10.1, so make sure this update is not stuck in the Updates section. We’re sad to report that Harmony Music’s development has stopped last year. We have many players in F-Droid, maybe you can try to switch to another app that you find as good. LocalSend is a great app, yet as software is getting more complex bugs have a higher chance to appear. Latest one affecting this app even has a CVE level entry, explained here. The issue lies in the “Share via Link” code, and since the fixed version is not yet released, please avoid using this function or receiving files this way. @shuvashish76 shows us a flashcard: Ownership of open source flashcard app Anki transferred to for-profit AnkiHub. The original developer posted the reason on their forum here, AnkiHub added a FAQ here and the dev posted again to dismiss the initial lack of trust here. There’s also a long discussion on Hacker News. Removed Apps 1 app was removed Menu Generator: Applications for picking meals according to the season Newly Added Apps 1 more app was newly added Cat a shooter 😼: Fly in the space by the cat 😼, and shoots off from enemies 🛸 Updated Apps 209 more apps were updated (expand for the full list) As we were busy with FOSDEM we skipped the Thursday TWIF so many apps already got more updates in between, below we list only the latest ones Acode editor -

This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Thursday, 29 Jan 2026, Week 5 F-Droid core F-Droid Basic was updated to 2.0-alpha1 fixing little things: Show issue for apps we had installed with different signer Manual repo update icon now is ‘Sync’ Fix some changelog logic, pick better Don’t show issues for apps with incompatible signer installed by other stores Show signer of installed version and version code to tech details, make them all selectable Fix a start issue for those upgrading from version 1.x We are seeing your feedback (yes, even those that say: “the old one was better”) and we’ll polish the client more as going forward. Fun fact: our last major Client UX overhaul was almost 10 years ago, and was met with the same reactions at its introduction. That being said, we will take a break, between January 30 and February 4, as we’ll be traveling and attending FOSDEM. Did you look up and bookmark our presentations? Do plan to reach our booth(s)! Community News Snikket was updated to 2.19.8r2+free. This Conversations fork is tailored for your Snikket instance with a fancy color theme. This update brings almost 2 years of missed features and improves not only the looks. We can excuse the team as they are few and have a lot of work to do on their multiplatform SDK, server and beyond. @kitswas announces their “F-Droid App Badges” that tracks monthly download and search statistics based on F-Droid metrics. This feature was asked for a long time, as the privacy veil of F-Droid might leave developers in the dark about how well are their apps are received and how many people are enjoying them. Removed Apps 2 apps were removed Cfait: Powerful, fast and elegant TODO / task manager. (CalDAV and local) Taler Cashier: Take cash and give out electronic cash (The app is not intended for mainstream usage, most people will withdraw digital cash via wire transfer or bank integration. It can also confuse people who are looking for the wallet or PoS applications. If you need it you can still get it from the Taler Nightly repo) Updated Apps 145 more apps were updated (expand for the full list) AAAAXY was updated to 1.6.338+20260127.3956.3f4e8fdb Amber was updated to 4.1.1 ANeko Reborn was updated to 1.5.1 Anx Reader was updated to 1.11.0 Apollo was updated to 1.7.3 App Lock was updated to 2.2.1 baresip was updated to 76.3.1 baresip+ was updated to 64.1.1 Bim! was updated to 14 Bimba was updated to 3.12.0-beta.1 Birthday Adapter was updated to 3.10.5 Butterfly was updated to 2.4.3 Calibre-Web-Companion was updated to 1.8.4 Capy Reader was updated to 2026.01.1188 Catima — Loyalty Card Wallet was updated to 2.41.6 CClauncher was updated to v10.5.2 Ciyue was updated to 1.21.0 CleverKeys was updated to 1.2.8 CoMaps -

Over the past year, we have been busy to modernize our app. The work supported by the NGI Mobifree has progressed nicely and we are now at a point where we are releasing the first alpha version and ask the community for feedback and testing. Note that for now this release is only for F-Droid Basic as the full version isn’t ready, yet. While iteratively rewriting the app and incorporating constant feedback from our developer community, the new app turned out a bit different than the old one. Major changes call for a major version change and therefore, this will be F-Droid 2.0. Highlights of this release include: UI rewritten from scratch with Kotlin compose improved search, also searching in descriptions and translations easier to discover new apps, also highlighting the most downloaded ones installation approval before downloading multiple updates/downloads at the same time notifying user of issues with apps (e.g. signing key changed) optional Material You color theme improved filtering of lists Before you jump to upgrade right away, note that there are also some features still missing. If you use any of the following features and would miss them dearly, you may want to hold off with the update and please also let us know about it: IPFS gateways prevent screenshots prefer foreign mirrors DNS cache installation history Furthermore, there are some known issues we want you to know about, in case they are a deal-breaker for you: installation for some apps needs to be confirmed before and after they are downloaded tapping update notification sometimes doesn’t show ‘My Apps’ screen on some few phones the “Installing apps” notification doesn’t go away We’ve been testing the app internally for some time and other than the above, it is quite stable and we consider it ready for daily use for adventurous users. Please let us know what you think of the new app and if you ran into any issues. If the app is crashing for you, please send us the report. Note that if you are already using F-Droid Basic, you won’t receive this update automatically. You need to navigate to the app inside F-Droid and “Allow beta updates” in top right three dot menu.

2025 was a big year for F-Droid. Not only did we celebrate 15 years of securely distributing FOSS apps to users around the world, we onboarded new maintainers, board members and project collaborators, invested in infrastructure upgrades, and played an active role in independent app store and FOSS developer advocacy. Community, Contributions, and Shared Impact F-Droid’s impact in 2025 was the result of many different kinds of contributions. Developers publishing and maintaining free and open source apps, contributors maintaining build infrastructure, reviewing app submissions, improving tooling, and writing documentation, translators expanding access across languages and regions, researchers and advocates translating technical work in policy contexts, and donors whose support keeps F-Droid independent and accountable to its community. Together, this work enables an app distribution ecosystem that is transparent, privacy respecting, and governed in the open. Impact in Numbers This year was another big year in terms of apps added, updated, built and distributed. Here are some quick stats at the end of December 2025. Total number of apps on the main repo: We currently have 4,061 apps on the main repo, an increase of 547 apps since last year, ~21% are built reproducibly, signed by the developers, further expanding the variety of open-source apps available to users. App Updates: Each of them were updated by the developer approximately three times, making the number of updates 13,489, keeping the app catalogue fresh and secure. Cumulative App Updates and Downloads: In 2025 F-Droid users cumulatively updated and downloaded apps over 18 million times. This number is extrapolated since the infrastructure we have is meant to protect user privacy. We will be publishing an F-Droid downloads post in the near future to further expand on this topic. Archived Apps: We parted with 1554 apps as tech moves on and devs do too. Strengthening our Foundations in 2025 A large portion of our work this year focused on strengthening F-Droid’s foundations. F-Droid Client In 2025, we began a major overhaul of the F-Droid client to make finding, understanding, and managing apps easier without compromising privacy or user control. To start, we completed work to move towards Material Design, adopting updated visuals, edge-to-edge layout and refined UI elements. In addition to the Material Design upgrade, the official F-Droid client is being overhauled using modern Android tooling, with a focus on reducing technical debt and making future development more approachable for contributors. Key improvements include a complete UI rewrite using Kotlin Compose, improved search that includes descriptions and translations, better discovery of new and updated apps, installation approval before downloads begin, support for multiple simultaneous downloads and updates, clear notifications when app issues arise, such as signing key changes, and optional Material You theming. Alongside these user facing changes, we completed internal refactoring, modernized libraries, improved testing workflows, and simplified maintenance. This work directly supports contributor onboarding, reduces long term risk, and makes it easier to respond to future platform changes. Build Infrastructure and Maintenance Behind the scenes, we continued improving the infrastructure that builds, verifies, and publishes apps for the main F-Droid repository. This included ongoing work on Buildbot, reproducible builds, repository tooling, metadata cleanup, translation automation, library maintenance, and compatibility testing with upcoming Android versions. We also continued modernization efforts working on Nearby app sharing, migrating Gradle build scripts from Groovy to Kotlin DSL, and adapting upstream changes in Maven Central. This kind of infrastructure work is rarely visible, but it is essential to maintaining trust at scale. Core Server Upgrade One of the most tangible improvements in 2025 was the replacement of F-Droid’s core build and publishing server. The previous system’s hardware was over a decade old and it had been running continuously for years. While it served the project well, it had become a bottleneck and an increasing maintenance burden. Thanks entirely to community donations, we were able to replace this critical piece of infrastructure. The new server significantly improves build performance, allowing us to run the full repository pipeline more frequently and reduce the delay between developer updates and user availability. We were deliberate about how this server is hosted. It is physically controlled in a data center by a long time contributor with a proven security track record. We know exactly where it is, who has access, and how it is managed. This level of transparency is rare in infrastructure, but it aligns with our values and threat model. This upgrade exists because of community support and it strengthens the entire ecosystem. Grant Funded Work in Service of Sustainability and Decentralization While donations remain central to F-Droid’s independence, grants in 2025 allowed us to dedicate focused time to work that benefits both F-Droid and the broader free software ecosystem. OTF FOSS Sustainability Grant The Open Technology Fund’s FOSS Sustainability grant supports projects that provide critical digital infrastructure and need time and space to strengthen internal sustainability. For F-Droid, this grant enabled work that is difficult to fund through feature driven development alone. In 2025, we completed three major objectives under this grant including a substantial refactor of the Android client to improve development and testing workflows, modernization of internal tooling and libraries, and concrete progress on governance, establishing policies and legal strategies to make F-Droid more resilient. This work is ongoing as the landscape evolves and it is necessary to respond to new challenges. Beyond these deliverables, we continued work on additional objectives focused on understanding how FOSS projects manage donations, how communities perceive funding practices, and what sustainable, value aligned funding can look like in practice. This research is not only inward facing. We published an extensive blog series detailing our legal resilience research and we are preparing to share our FOSS donations campaigns findings openly with other projects via blog articles and hosting a workshop at FOSDEM 2026. If you are planning on attending FOSDEM, we look forward to seeing you there! Mobifree: Decentralized App Distribution in Practice Mobifree is an EU funded research and development project focused on giving European citizens and organizations more choice in, and access to, human-centered and ethical mobile software. The project supports independence from gatekeeper platforms, closed-source software and harvesting user data. The core idea behind Mobifree is that competition, user choice, and digital sovereignty require real alternatives that work within existing developer workflows while offering users meaningful freedom. F-Droid played a central role in Mobifree, contributing across research, software development, and ecosystem building, specifically in the area of FOSS app distribution. Our work included improving Repomaker, a tool that allows users and organizations to create and share their own app repositories, building and expanding Appiverse, a catalogue of known F-Droid compatible repositories designed to improve interoperability between app stores, creating an API that allows alternative distributors to discover, verify, and reuse repositories, expanding Fastlane tooling so developers can integrate F-Droid distribution into their existing release workflows and integrating results from user research directly into our software design updates. We worked closely with partners including Waag, BioSense, University of Amsterdam, Murena, and e Foundation, supporting in the user testing and workshops and have already begun analysing and mapping out how to implement the user feedback. In 2025, we presented our work to the European Commission during the Mobifree 18 month review. This was an important moment to demonstrate that decentralized, privacy respecting app distribution is not theoretical. It is already being built, tested, and improved in the open. In 2026, we will continue Mobifree work by implementing user test feedback across the F-Droid website, client, Appiverse and Repomaker, further improving usability and clarity. Policy Engagement and Legal Resilience As F-Droid entered its 15th year, policy and legal work became increasingly important. In 2025, we published an extensive research driven blog series addressing issues many FOSS projects quietly struggle with, including how to handle legal takedown requests, how to respond when authorities request user or project information, jurisdiction, liability, and legal entity considerations and how regulatory frameworks like the Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, Online Safety Act, and Google’s developer verification requirements affect independent app distribution. Our work on Google’s developer verification requirements highlighted how policy and platform changes can create new barriers for developers and app stores. We engaged publicly and constructively on this issue, helping surface concerns around access, proportionality, and unintended consequences. We will continue to address this issue during a main track presentation at FOSDEM in 2026. We also participated in DMA related workshops and events, contributing the perspective of a long running, community governed app distribution platform. Our goal is not simply compliance, but ensuring regulation does not reinforce gatekeeping or undermine independent, privacy respecting alternatives. This work matters because policy decisions made today shape the ecosystem for years to come. FLOSS Fund Recognition and Community Sustainability In 2025, F-Droid was honoured to be selected as a FLOSS/fund recipient. FLOSS/fund recognizes that much of the modern technological landscape and even the internet itself is built by individuals and communities in the form of free and open source software. They do this not only by pledging $1 million a year to FOSS projects, but by creating a donation registry called funding.json where FOSS projects can easily communicate their projects and financial needs, making it easier for donors to find the projects they love and show support. We will be using the funds we received to embed the funding.json into the F-Droid app submission process, so new apps will have the option to be featured in the FLOSS Fund directory. Funding will also be used to improve our donation campaign and fundraising efforts in general, making F-Droid more financially sustainable long term. Looking Ahead to 2026 Plans include participating in FOSDEM in Brussels, hosting a booth there to engage with participants, co-organizing the FOSS on Mobile developer room, presenting at the Funding FOSS developer room and presenting our main track presentation on Google’s developer verification requirements, We will continue to contribute to the Mobifree project, move our deliverables outlined in the OTF FOSS sustainability fund forward, and continue improving the client, website, server and other core infrastructure, working to make F-Droid better and easier to onboard new users. To everyone who has donated to F-Droid over the years, and especially to those who supported us in 2025: thank you. Your support keeps F-Droid independent, privacy respecting, and accountable to its community. F-Droid has shown for 15 years that app distribution can be transparent, privacy respecting, and accountable. In 2025, we strengthened that foundation. In 2026, we will continue to build for the future of FOSS.

This Week in F-Droid TWIF curated on Friday, 23 Jan 2026, Week 4 F-Droid core Back in March 2024 we announced our switch to Debian version 12 (named Bookworm) and today we are announcing our upgrade to version 13 nicknamed Debian Trixie. We have been testing this internally for months and as of today we’ve had several cycles that already built apps with the new version. What does this mean? For you as a user, nothing at all, apps are included, updated and archived as usual. For you as a developer, Trixie uses Java 21 by default so we’d need to evaluate how your app or app recipe can be best updated now. If your app already used 21 there’s nothing to do. If it uses 17 or older, we’d need to adapt the build recipes to either install the older version or adapt the source code to build with 21 but produce Java 17 byte-code or, better yet, ping you to see if an upgrade to Java 21 can be done easily. We are processing apps as they come so you’ll hear from us if there’s any need for help. Community News The old Matrix client got a new name, Element Classic, and was updated to 1.6.48, while the newer one, Element X - Secure Chat & Call was updated to 26.01.1. Are you coming to FOSDEM 2026 next week? If you are, make sure FOSDEM 2026 Schedule and/or FOSDEM Companion are installed, they both got an update this week, and keep the schedule up to date. Also, bookmark our presentations and find our booth to say ‘hi’. Launch - Minimalist Launcher was archived as it got an application ID change. If you’ve installed it before this week, make sure to jump ship to the new Launch - Minimalist Launcher, A clean, efficient, and minimalist launcher. Luanti was updated to 5.15.0 with a plethora of changes. Tusky was updated to 32 beta 01, but not yet suggested (install manually or toggle Betas in the menu).
