About

F-Droid is an independent, community-maintained app store for Android that distributes only free and open-source applications with an emphasis on transparency and user privacy.

It builds apps from publicly available source code using a fully automated infrastructure, flags "anti-features" such as tracking or proprietary dependencies, and maintains a curated repository catalog with detailed metadata and version histories.

A progressive web application (PWA) is a type of web app that can be installed on a device and run as a standalone application while being delivered through the web.

It is defined via a web app manifest and uses a service worker to enable offline support, background caching, push notifications, home screen installation, and access to device features such as camera, geolocation, and storage.
