This Week in F-DroidTWIF curated on Friday, 26 Jun 2026, Week 26Community NewsF-Droid, in its 16 years of existence, has often been a study subject as our openness and transparency make it easy for anyone to not only build a random app, but to recheck our hosted apps from today, from 10 years ago or all at once. On our forum, you can now read a preview of a new study that will be presented at 2026 ACM Conference on Reproducibility and Replicability next month, titled “Understanding Build Reproducibility in the F-Droid Ecosystem“. While the numbers, reproducible vs non-reproducible, won’t beat giants like Debian, they do show that our tooling and efforts over time to encourage developers to adopt reproducible builds are paying off.The Bryant Review made two app lists for you to (re)discover, “Some of Android’s Most Interesting Games Aren’t Just on the Play Store” and “The Other Side of Android: My Favorite F-Droid Apps” covering both fun and practical apps. And yes, we’ve tooted at them to test F-Droid 2.0-alphas.Adding an app to F-Droid might have its share of mysteries, but some developers dispel the fog, succeed and live to share the story. The developer of Rocinante, updated to 1.0.5 this week, writes in Spanish (Fennec/Firefox would just translate it), about the experience here.Also the developer of whatIwatch, updated to 0.1.2 this week, found the time to muse about the inclusion process. Their app is written in Flutter, so if that sounds familiar to you, put a bookmark on the post for when your app is ready for the F-Droid release.Talking about games, 99Managers Futsal Edition, A futsal management game with a 2D match engine and integrated editor, was just added with great timing, during an international soccer/football championship. While we have many Godot engine games, this one is a bit more special, as it’s a reproducible build app. Maybe this feat is based on its nature, a 2D type game, but the developer has contributed a recipe template so many more devs can try too for their own games.Element Classic was updated to 1.6.58 and as the modern Element X did last week, fixes a security issue. If you still use this version, please update.Find Family, Find Family is an end-to-end encrypted location sharing app, was archived as it was already replaced with Find Family, same name and same developer, updated this week to v2.5.5.FluffyChat was updated to 2.7.2 with a huge change log, read down to 2.7.0 too. Given Matrix clients news above, and last week, it’s a safe bet to make sure you are updated.Odysee was updated to 0.1.6-foss using the new native app codebase. The changes are extensive, so explore at will.SimpleX Chat was updated to 6.5.6. One interesting piece of news we stumbled upon this week was a post by the Trail of Bits company (think security audits, think FLOSS friendly) about their partnership to find and fix bugs using AI. You can read the whole post here and you can see the proposed fixes for SimpleX here. Oh, btw, how would you feel about such an endeavour when it comes to F-Droid? Some think it’s easy to answer, some say it’s complicated.@linsui translates in a QR code:Mercurygram was updated to 12.8.1.1 adding offline translations, better Tor, better animations, better rich text editor and rendering and more. Android provides a Translation API since Android 12 but it can only use the OEM (generally non-foss) translation service and it seems custom Android distribution, like LineageOS, might not provide anything. By the way, Offline Translator, updated to 0.7.0 this week, could be a provider too, keeping your translations private on device.tagdrop was updated to 2.1.0 after 11 years, with the help of… AI. Anyway, the concept is interesting, as a challenge of sorts, do try to cram as much as possible in a QR code, any interesting use case?@shuvashish76 names a name:GitHub Store is now named Komi Store and updated to 1.9.1, with browsing improvements, shortcuts and more.Removed Apps2 more apps were removed Harmony Music: An Android App for streaming Music SpMp: A YouTube Music client with a focus on language and metadata customisationNewly Added Apps72 more apps were newly added Aerial: Lightweight radio player aka Alarm: Wakes you within a 30-min window when you start stirring Arcanum: Encrypted container manager compatible with VeraCrypt BackgroundWorkAround: Help your other apps survive in the background Battery Monitor: Monitor your device’s battery status in detail, in real-time Bible Lock Screen: Daily Bible verse on your lock screen wallpaper Bluetooth Remote: Universal serverless Bluetooth HID remote control Bluke: Use your device as a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, gamepad, and trackpad Boky Fivavahana Anglikana: Madagascar’s Anglican common prayer book Calendula: A modern Material 3 Expressive calendar for Android CallScope: Local-first call log analytics Calyx - Grow Tracker: Track indoor gardens, plant schedules, and hardware entirely offline Camera by vayunmathur: The best Camera app Controller for QLC+: Native 3rd party application for controlling QLC+ v4 Cube Run: Dodge, jump and slam through a neon 3-lane gauntlet.
