LibreFind is a free and lightweight Android app that scans your device, identifies proprietary software, and recommends Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) alternatives.

Core Features

Scan installed apps to detect proprietary software
Get personalized FOSS alternative recommendations
View sovereignty scores showing FOSS vs proprietary ratio
Rate and review FOSS alternatives
Community-driven database

Community Contributions

Propose new FOSS alternatives for review
Submit pros and cons for existing alternatives
Vote on app recommendations
Help build a comprehensive alternative database

Privacy First

All app scanning happens locally on your device. The app only queries the database for FOSS alternatives when proprietary apps are detected.

Open Source

LibreFind is fully open source under the MIT License. Contribute at: https://github.com/jksalcedo/librefind

Required Permissions

WhatsNew:

Beta 11

Performance:
• Eliminated N+1 network calls in cache refresh
• Bulk solution/target lookups replace per-app queries
• Details & Submit screens no longer trigger full device scans
• Fixed IgnoredAppsViewModel cleanup never executing
• Single-pass sovereignty score calculation
• Reduced icon cache double-check on render

CI/Build:
• Enabled Gradle parallel builds, caching & configuration cache
• Optimized CI workflow with dependency caching
• Faster R8 with increased JVM memory

Anti-Features:

TetheredNet (This app is bound to a certain network service):
⇒ The app needs to connect to its central database (Supabase).

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Browser (Utility)
display webpages in the user's default browser.
Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
Androidx Graphics (Utility)
leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Room (Utility)
a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
Jetpack WindowManager Library (Utility)
enables application developers to support new device form factors and multi-window environments. The library provides a common API surface for API versions 14 and later. Especially provides additional functionality on foldable devices.
Multiplatform Settings (Utility)
a Kotlin library for Multiplatform apps, so that common code can persist key-value data.
OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.
