This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 30 Oct 2025, Week 44

Community News

Fossify Messages (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.messages/) update 1.5.0 from last week has been having some crashing issues with heavy conversations, tracked by the developer here (https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Messages/issues/574). If you’ve encountered them, you are advised to uninstall, install older version 1.4.0 and use the upper right menu in client to “Ignore this update” until the next one (built while you read this) comes.

PrivacyFlip (https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.dorumrr.privacyflip) was updated to 1.4.1 and features a key change unfortunately. Things happened with the old key, as they do (https://f-droid.org/2023/09/03/reproducible-builds-signing-keys-and-binary-repos.html), and a new one has been born. If you’ve installed the app in the past we recommend you uninstall and install the newly signed one today.

SwatchIt (https://f-droid.org/packages/net.damschen.swatchit), Manage your knitted swatches, was just added. What is it? It’s a choose your own adventure game that involves quests you solve with yarn and needles, I guess. Here (https://katharina.damschen.net/post/2025-09-10-swatchit-on-codeberg/)’s a bit of a background of how the app came to be. And to gain extra experience, you can read about the developer’s quest to add their app to F-Droid, if you have 15 minutes to spare, here (https://katharina.damschen.net/post/2025-10-27-publish-to-f-droid/).

@samanbaia (https://forum.f-droid.org/u/samanbaia/summary) spells the magic words:

Lineage, F-Droid, XMPP will summon an one hour long video presentation (https://acloud2.zaclys.com/index.php/s/MWL6xygARb9wRgM?dir=/&editing=false&openfile=true) and the corresponding slides (https://acloud2.zaclys.com/index.php/s/JKQe2AFrDGCrm5T?dir=/&editing=false&openfile=true), both in Italian. Bonus QR codes spread around to poll you on your choices. This was part of Linux Day Torino 2025, that took place on October 25th.

@shuvashish76 (https://forum.f-droid.org/u/shuvashish76) has bad and good news:

Immich (https://f-droid.org/packages/app.alextran.immich/) is the fourth most starred (https://fdroid.tabler.dev/) app in our repo and one with a healthy following (https://fdroid-metrics.streamlit.app/~/+/package_details?package=app.alextran.immich#search-packages). Earlier this month they ended up having their services inaccessible at Google’s whims as all of their *.immich.cloud websites were marked as dangerous and users started being shown the dreaded “red-screen-of-death” page. How did our heroes fight the beast? You can read it all in the 5 minutes long post (https://immich.app/blog/google-flags-immich-as-dangerous). One word comes to mind after reading this, can you guess which? (scroll to the end to see if we think alike)

LibreTube (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.libretube) was updated to 0.29.0. After half a year of work, this is perhaps one of their biggest releases ever (more than 500 commits), including: Material 3 Expressive redesign, edge-to-edge support, predictive back and much more (https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/releases/tag/v0.29.0).
