F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source
|
||
|
|
Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it
|
||
|
|
easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It connects to any F-Droid compatible repositories. The default repo
|
||
|
|
is hosted at f-droid.org, which contains only bona fide Free and Open
|
||
|
|
Source Software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Android itself is open in the sense that you are free to install apks
|
||
|
|
from anywhere you wish, but there are many good reasons for using
|
||
|
|
F-Droid as your free software app manager:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Be notified when updates are available
|
||
|
|
* optionally download and install updates automatically
|
||
|
|
* Keep track of older and beta versions
|
||
|
|
* Filter apps that aren't compatible with the device
|
||
|
|
* Find apps via categories and searchable descriptions
|
||
|
|
* Access associated urls for donations, source code etc.
|
||
|
|
* Stay safe by checking repo index signatures and apk hashes
