- F-Droid 2.0 is a complete redesign of the official F-Droid app, representing the largest update in 10 years, with a focus on modern interface, better app discovery, and simplified navigation into Discover, Search, and My Apps.
- The update introduces a redesigned Discover screen with new categories, including 17 game genres, and improved search that supports app descriptions, categories, and CJK languages, along with powerful filtering options.
- Privacy and security features are enhanced, with simplified Tor integration and clearer app hiding, though the app-wiping feature for panic triggers is temporarily removed, pending community feedback.
- Behind-the-scenes technical improvements include a rewrite in Kotlin Compose for easier maintenance, support for Android session installer for automatic updates, and contributions from the community and organizations like NLnet and Open Technology Fund.
