F-Droid

The software provides a set of server‑side utilities for operating and maintaining an F‑Droid repository. It handles tasks such as indexing, signing, and publishing free and open‑source Android applications, enabling administrators to host their own F‑Droid instances. The tools are designed for self‑hosting, are released under the AGPL‑3.0 license, and require no subscription or paid tier.

It is intended for developers, system administrators, and organizations that wish to run a private or public F‑Droid app store, ensuring that the distribution pipeline for FOSS Android apps remains under their control. The utilities support the core workflow of building repository metadata, verifying package integrity, and serving the repository to client devices.

What distinguishes this project is its focus on a fully self‑hostable, free‑tier solution that integrates directly with the broader F‑Droid ecosystem, allowing anyone to maintain a compliant, open‑source Android app repository without reliance on external services.
