This Week in F-Droid
TWIF curated on Thursday, 14 May 2026, Week 20
aFreeRDP was updated to 3.26.0 with an UI overhaul and a lot of fixes.
The old BlackCandy app was archived as the developer lost the key. Hence the app got a new app ID and new key and BlackCandy, Black Candy for Android, was newly added. If you’ve installed the app before this week, better uninstall it and install the new version. Tip: Users of F-Droid and Basic client 2.0 alphas will immediately notice this in the MyApps page
CoMaps – Hike, Bike, Drive Offline with Privacy was updated to 2026.05.06-11-FDroid adding a feature sought out by users for so long, “check for updates”. While OSMAnd~, updated to 5.3.10 this week, allows for updates at any time, CoMaps and it’s upstream Organic Maps・Offline Map & GPS, today at 2026.05.08-4-FDroid, were limited by releases. Basically you needed to wait for a new app version to get updated maps.
Did a new bike lane open? Is the bridge closed for repairs? The bus added 2 more stops? Well, you’ll get that next month, at least the cadence of releases is pretty on point. Starting with this release you can get map updates in CoMaps as fast as they are out, and you can finally prioritize updating the map only and save on mobile data on the road. This might help you in the future too as even if the app might need a newer Android version than your device got, you could still get some newer maps, for a bit more.
FMD and FMD edge were updated to 0.15.0 fixing UnifiedPush compatibility when using Conversations as a distributor.
Github Store was updated to 1.8.2 polishing the experience brought by 1.8.0. What’s new? A new backend, library imports, mirrors and token improvements first. Then we continue with APK inspect, Dhizuku support, Obtainium interop, add from starred, manual and background refresh, sorting, installer attribution and more. And finishing with fixes, polished features and improvements.
UntrackMe was updated to 2.0.0 after almost three years. As Android versions keep limiting what apps can achieve, the app was revritten as a browser, that opens your links and, based on your settings, cleans up the URL to be opened by your normal browser or app.
