F-Droid is an installable catalogue of libre software apps for Android. The F-Droid client app makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

It connects to any F-Droid compatible repositories. The default repo is hosted at f-droid.org, which contains only bona fide libre software.

Android itself is open in the sense that you are free to install APKs from anywhere you wish, but there are many good reasons for using F-Droid as your libre software app manager:

* Get notified when updates are available
* Optionally download and install updates automatically
* Keep track of older and beta versions
* Filter out apps incompatible with the device
* Find apps via categories and searchable descriptions
* Access associated URLs for donations, source code etc.
* Stay safe by checking repo index signatures and APK hashes
F-Droid is 'n installeerbare katalogus van gratis sagteware
programme vir Android. Die F-Droid-kliënt-app maak dit
maklik om te blaai, te installeer en op hoogte te bly van opdaterings op u toestel.

Dit kan gekoppel word aan enige F-Droid-versoenbare bewaarplekke. Die standaardrepos
word gehuisves by f-droid.org, wat slegs bona fide libre sagteware bevat.

Android self is oop in die sin dat u vry is om APK's te installeer
waar u ook al wil, maar daar is baie goeie redes om dit te gebruik
F-Droid as u sagteware-programbestuurder:

* Word in kennis gestel wanneer opdaterings beskikbaar is
* Aflaai en installeer opdaterings outomaties
* Hou ouer en beta-weergawes dop
* Filtreer programme uit wat nie met die toestel versoenbaar is nie
* Vind programme via kategorieë en soekbare beskrywings
* Toegang tot geassosieerde URL's vir donasies, bronkode ens.
* Bly veilig deur repo-indekshandtekeninge en APK-hakies na te gaan
