LibreFind is a free and lightweight Android app that scans your installed packages locally and queries our database to identify proprietary software and find FOSS alternatives.

Core Features

• Scan installed apps to detect proprietary software
• Get FOSS alternative recommendations
• View sovereignty scores showing FOSS vs proprietary ratio
• 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

The app only queries the database for FOSS alternatives when proprietary apps are detected.
