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.
