Lovely to see so many people interested in offline, and accurate activity tracking.

We covered OpenStreetMap @openstreetmap route mapping and suggestions with Python, OSMnx and GeoPandas.

Corridor talks turned into a mini @fdroid glow session.

Huge shout to all the projects used and OpenTracksApp.

Why Use This Circle To Search App?

The Problem with Google's CTS Version

  • Forced Cloud Syncing: Uploads your selection to servers even when you just want to copy text.

  • Get's accidentally triggerd frequently, exposing sensitive data instantly to google

  • Ecosystem Lock-in: Restricted to Google Search—no support for Bing, Yandex, or AI models.

  • Locked to Google ecosystem—no choice of search engine

  • Missing Features: Useful features like "Share" and "Save" have been stripped out.

  • Hardware Exclusivity: Only available on expensive flagship devices (Pixel 8, Galaxy S24+).

What We Do Differently

  • Only what you circle gets processed—nothing else

  • True Offline OCR: Text recognition works 100% locally on your device—no internet needed.

  • QR detection offline, Smart Scan offline—no unnecessary servers

  • Universal Compatibility: Works with any search engine (Google, Bing, Yandex, TinEye,).

  • Restored Utility: We brought back the "Share" and "Save" features Google removed.

  • Works on any Android device, not just expensive flagships

  • Works on De-Googled Devices no google programs needed.

  • And has many other useful features

100% Independent: Works on any Android phone (Android 10+), without requiring Google Play Services or OEM-specific software.

Privacy-First: No background tracking or logs—just pure on-device selection.

➥ Download:
- github

It still needs a lot of improvements and isn't polished yet, as I am a solo developer working on it. You can download it from GitHub for now, as the new update is yet to be released on F-Droid.

I'd like a metronome with the ability to give a count-in and quit, just to start a tune at the right tempo.

So you'd select a tempo, say 120, and then click a "count-in" button or similar, and you get something like a 1.. 2.. 1 2 3 4 count in, but it doesn't keep ticking after that.

There are a lot of metronomes on FDroid, anyone know if one of them does this?

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?

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).
