You're running it, how can you not know what -it is? +Connects to F-droid compatible repositories. The default repo is hosted at f-droid.org, +which contains only bona fide FOSS. + +Android is open in the sense that you are free to install apks from anywhere you wish, +but there are many good reasons for using a client/repository setup: + +* Be notified when updates are available +* 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 + +Please note that while the client itself is FOSS and well inspected by the public, the +apps themselves may not be. You install them at your own risk. By default, apps which +may have undesirable behaviour i.e. anti-features, are hidden from view. . Repo Type:git
