This Week in F-DroidTWIF curated on Friday, 03 Apr 2026, Week 14F-Droid coreF-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.

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!
