A personal recommendation is to use Droidify, it’s just a great F-droid front-end.

You can download the APK here: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/

Hey thanks for this! I used f droid for a while but was always meh on the UI and how clunky it is. I used this for a bit and I already like it waaaay more. Cheers!

When I last used it it was somehow unstable. Maybe that has changed.

I have used it for maybe a year and I never had any problems. Then again, I’m hardly a power user, so it makes sense that other people might have different experiences. :)

I really like that they add more repos you just need to enable. Number 1 reason to use it, as F-Droid will never add those for obvious reasons.

Some that I cant live without

  • Izzyondroid
  • Guardian Project
  • Collabora office
  • signal foss twinhelix
  • molly
  • futo
  • simplex chat
  • Cryptomator
  • Mobilsicher (proprietary German apps that are core infrastructure. They ask those developers if they can get the APKs)
  • (Bitwarden) (dont use it)
  • Julians Repo: nice to get GrapheneOS app updates, but you should install their appstore instead.

My experience too, but I switched back and it’s far better now.

Droidify is the best! Best performance and UI of all compatible clients, and even handles 3rd repos that wont load on others.
