Released on September 24, 2026, F-Droid 2.0 overhauls the official app with improved search, more useful categories, and simpler app discovery and installation.
The F-Droid project announced the release of version 2.0 of its official app. According to the source, the update brings a refreshed interface, improved search, more useful categories, and simpler ways to discover and install free and open-source Android apps. The project has worked toward this goal for more than a decade.
The redesign goes beyond appearance: it aims to fit current Android patterns, such as Material Design, while retaining familiar interactions. Core components were rewritten with Kotlin Compose, described by the source as the current standard toolkit, to establish a foundation for delivering improvements more quickly.
