mastodon 4.7.3IzzyOnDroid curates free, open-source Android apps into an F-Droid-compatible repository. We distribute APKs built and signed by the corresponding developers—after scanning for safety and more, making the scan results transparent. Reproducibility is verified by rebuilding apps to match the distributed APK, while the original developer-signed version is added to our catalog. If verified, the app is marked there as reproducible.

Community contributions and support have helped us to keep going for this long and grow so fast lately – thank you so much!
If you want another 10 years or IzzyOnDroid, please consider contributing your time or some money, see https://izzyondroid.org/contributing/ 🤗
We've greatly improved our monthly quality checker, which now also reports, a.o.:
* if a disappeared or archived repo has returned
* if APK size was reduced and allows us to keep more releases
* if associated websites have moved or disappeared
After the last run, metadata for 100+ apps were updated. We hope you enjoy the increased quality 🤗
Hi! We're IzzyOnDroid, your trusted source for #FOSS #Android apps. Originally started as a personal project from @IzzyOnDroid@floss.social, we decided with the team growing it was time to make a shared project account.
We'll be posting about important updates and maintenance for the IzzyOnDroid repo here as well as answer your questions.
Feel free to ping us if you ever need help or have questions, several team members watch this account :)
Please also check out our website at https://izzyondroid.org
Today is "I love free software" day. We love free software – which is one of the reasons we deeply care for and maintain our repository! With our still very young account here, we hence want to thank all the FOSS developers who write the amazing apps it covers 🤗
Our special thanks go to
@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de which has become our home
@nlnet@social.nlnet.nl who helped us grow
@shiftphones@mastodon.social & @BlissLabs@mastodon.social for being such great partners
+ all of you
IzzyOnDroid serves millions of downloads every month and with new apps and app updates there is always something to be excited about.
Curious how last month went? Take a look at our brand new monthly report, first issue out today!
We've reworked our App Inclusion Policy, to improve its formatting and to make it better to understand. Criteria are now grouped, so it should be easier to "follow the thread". The rewrite also includes more details on our stance concerning AI.
https://izzyondroid.org/docs/general/AppInclusionPolicy/
In addition, we've also added some documentation on how to set up and run a mirror for our repo:

Should you "boldly run one where no one was running before," please let us know 😉
As there's some issue template stuck (most likely added involuntarily when we were put on some trial for "GitLab Ultimate" years ago), and we were unable to reach GitLab support for help, we'll have to prematurely archive our last remaining repository over there – as people continue open issues there which no longer belong.
If you have a still-open issue there waiting for your response, please act quickly, as soon you won't be able to anymore!
