F-Droid made significant strides in 2024, focusing on decentralizing app distribution and expanding its ecosystem. Funded by grants from the Filecoin Foundation and EU Horizon Europe, F-Droid improved core client logic, added support for IPFS and Filecoin, and upgraded the Repomaker tool for easier repository creation. The community also shone, adding over 402 new apps and updating over 7205 apps. In 2025, F-Droid will continue its work on the Mobifree project and welcomes two new team members to further strengthen its infrastructure and enhance user experience.
