Virtually every Android device comes with the Play Store preloaded, but there are other ways to get apps. F-Droid bills itself as a community-driven source for free and open source Android apps, but its official app store has gone 10 years without a major update. That’s finally changing: After a multiyear effort, the team has just announced F-Droid 2.0 is rolling out.

The new F-Droid client was redesigned from scratch in Kotlin Compose, which is the standard for modern Android apps. This makes the store much more responsive, and there’s optional support for Android’s Material theming. The interface has also been cleaned up considerably, making the most important functions easier to access and hiding some others in overflow menus.

While the new F-Droid looks nicer, the update was largely about making it easier to find and install apps. F-Droid now includes a huge number of categories, drilling down to specialized niches like firewalls, password managers, and VPNs. When searching for apps, F-Droid will now be able to return results based on app descriptions rather than just names.

When you find an app, F-Droid 2.0 will make the installation process easier. Instead of downloading an APK, opening it, and confirming the scary sideloading pop-up, you’ll just be able to verify that you want to install an app before the download. So you tap “Install” in F-Droid, and then tap “Install” again in a system pop-up.
