F-Droid 2.0: A new chapter for Android freedom (lwn.net)

<p>The <a href="https://f-droid.org/en/">F-Droid project</a> has <a
href="https://f-droid.org/2026/09/24/f-droid-2.0-a-new-chapter-for-android-freedom.html">announced</a>
the
release of F-Droid&#160;2.0, which is a complete redesign of the official
app. Notable changes in the release include making it easier to discover and
install applications, more useful app categories, improved search, and
much more.</p>

<blockquote class="bq">
<p>For more than a decade, F-Droid has helped people discover and install free
and open source Android apps. F-Droid 2.0 builds on that foundation with a
modern interface, better app discovery, improved search, and a simpler
experience that works well, whether you're new to F-Droid or have been using it
for years.</p>

<p>This isn't just a visual refresh. The user experience was redesigned to
integrate smoothly with current Android patterns, like Material Design, while
keeping familiar F-Droid interactions in place. Key components were reworked and
rewritten using Kotlin Compose, the standard toolkit these days, creating a
foundation that will help us deliver improvements more quickly in the years
ahead.</p>
