This Week in F-Droid
TWIF curated on Thursday, 18 Dec 2025, Week 51
Community News
Tech Policy Press has a series of posts titled “Symposium on Digital Markets Act (DMA) Enforcement” that you might find interesting, since you read this. The latest one, “Making the Digital Markets Act Developer-Friendly”, touches upon the hardship we at F-Droid, and FLOSS devs everywhere, encounter when trying to thrive in a monopoly ruled world. The full series covers more topics like users’ data in the AI age, tech experts and what DMA achieved so far and what’s next, so make sure to read them all.
Authnkey, Passkey credential provider for hardware security keys, makes your security keys (Yubi, Solo, Nitro, etc) usable without proprietary components.
Billionaire device companies run marketing campaigns for new devices focused on an app that takes a screenshot of the screen? That can’t be true, right? I mean “circle to search” can’t be the technical innovation that sells new devices in 2025. I refuse to accept such a thing, and a FLOSS dev did the same as we’ve just included their CircleToSearch App, with multi search engine support, that allows you to do that magic on your current device, without buying anything.
PeerTube was updated to 2.0.0 adding the much sought “creator mode”.
QUIK SMS, Open source replacement to the stock SMS app on Android. A revival of QKSMS had its signing key changed and now has a new appid. At the same time, Messages (a fork of QUIK) was updated to 1.0.3. If you’re still running the old app (now archived, see below), test these two and switch to one of them now.
