F-Droid

I came across this amazing open-source Android App that turns your Telegram account into unlimited private cloud storage for your photos.

Setup is simple:

Create a Telegram bot with BotFather
Enter the bot token + chat ID in the app
Start backing up your photos - seriously, that's it -no signup/log in required

Downloads :

• f-droid
• github

Tried googling it, but couldnt find much. Does anyone know what this is about? How do i satisfy it so it stops popping up with the warning?

Some months ago I'v read that there where some issues over privacy on latest syncthing releases, what's the status as of today? alternative is needed or is safe to use?

Apareceu-me aqui uma app no @fdroid que permite seguir o rasto de notas de Euro. Para quê? Porque é giro e pronto :neocat_boop_cute:

I am getting notifications that updates are available for a bunch of apps, but the version number is the same. Update fails. Package size differs. Screenshot is an example with VLC. I cleared cache, even all data+reinstall, tried other clients (droidify) but the behaviour is the same.

#AnySoftKeyboard, installed from #FDroid, asks for access to Contacts. Was it compromised? (EDIT: Unlikely)

I don't remember it asking me for Contacts before (but @lnxw37a2 does). [EDIT: I was] worried it may have been subject to a supply chain attack, and to be on the safe side, I uninstalled it.

It seems to be a mostly unmaintained app that I never use, but hadn't uninstalled. This is the first new version since 2025/07/25, and before that, 2022/01/14 (the first version shipped by @fdroid).

I am used to f-droid to take ages to release my app, but what concerns me this time is that the new tag (released 4 DAYS AGO), is not even detected in "highest metadata version" inside F-Droid Build Status app

what could be the problem?

Unsere privatsphäre-freundliche App "Aktivpause to Go!" ist im FDroid-Store verfügbar: Die App motiviert die Nutzenden dazu, gezielt Bewegungspausen in den Arbeitsalltag einzubauen. Dabei kann individuell entschieden werden, wann und wie lange die Pause sein soll, sowie welche Übungen man machen möchte. Die Übungen stammen aus dem Aktivpause-Programm am KIT und wurde von Wissenschaftler:innen am Institut für Sport und Sportwissenschaft zusammengestellt. „Aktivpause to Go!“ wurde von #SECUSO entwickelt und ist Teil der #Privacy Friendly App Familie: https://f-droid.org/de/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlypausinghealthily/)

I want to move a lot of photos of my phone but I don't want to move all of them at once.

I'd like to select two separate files and then have a file manager select all files between those two, i.e. select a range. As example, if I select file B and file E, I want to automatically select file C and D, but not anything else.

I mainly use Material Files as an app for that but it seems not possible to do this there? Does anyone have a suggestion for a file manager that can do this on Android?

BandCamp not working in NewPipe/ PipePipe

New versions of NewPipe and PipePipe deployed by @fdroid over the last couple of days have restored their ability to play YouTub videos, which is great. But they no longer seem to be able to play music from BandCamp, at least in the background player. Is this is known bug (or user error), or is it worth contacting them to report it?

Thunderbird sucks for this purpose, I don't know why people recommend it.

Libertorrent is buggy and progress get stuck in the middle of download, Navi download is abandoned and doesn't get updates and aria2app UI is awful (doesn't keep downloaded torrents) and don't get updated.

Donations are a key part of what keeps F-Droid independent and reliable and our latest hardware update is a direct result of your support. Thanks to donations from our incredible community, F-Droid has replaced one of its most critical pieces of infrastructure, our core server hardware. It was overdue for a refresh, and now we are happy to give you an update on the new server and how it impacts the project.

I successfully sideloaded F-Droid Classic to my Fire TV Stick. Original F-Droid was repeatedly crashing so I went with F-Droid Classic.

Anybody did the same? Any recommendations for TV / remote friendly apps?
