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

- Get FOSS alternative recommendations
- View sovereignty scores showing FOSS vs proprietary ratio
- Community-driven database
Community Contributions

- Submit pros and cons for existing alternatives
- Vote on app recommendations

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

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).
