Warning
Free and Open-Source Android is under threat. Google plans to make Android more locked-down, restricting your freedom to install the apps of your choice. Make your voice heard: Keep Android Open.
A clutter-free F-Droid client that also installs apps from anywhere.
Omnify, maintained by Victor-root, based on Droid-ify by LooKeR.
Screenshots coming soon. Omnify isn't at a stable, release-ready state yet, so there is no release to take them from. A first release, and up-to-date screenshots to go with it, will be published once it is ready.
I use Droid-ify every day, intensively, and over time I ran into bugs and wanted features that really mattered for that kind of daily use. I proposed fixes upstream, but many of them were built with AI assistance, and the Droid-ify project has chosen to stay AI-free. That is entirely their decision to make, so those fixes couldn't be merged. Forking was the only way for me to keep improving the app at my own pace.
To be clear, this is not a fork against Droid-ify. I have deep respect for the original project, its author and its vision for the codebase. Omnify simply serves a different need, my own, and only exists because Droid-ify gave it such a strong foundation.
Add a project's GitHub releases as a source and install & update its app with no F-Droid repository required.
- Automatically picks the right APK for your CPU architecture (with an optional name filter), and falls back to an older release if the latest has none compatible.
- Shows the real app name and icon before installing, with a visual icon picker.
- Update notifications in the Updates tab, signature-conflict handling, and the project README rendered in-app.
- Per-source settings (custom name, pre-releases, mute), an optional no-scope GitHub token to lift the API rate limit, and included in your backup.
Rebuilt in Jetpack Compose with Material 3: an accent-colour picker (including a wallpaper-based option), tinted system bars, an edge-to-edge mode, a collapsing header, a two-column grid, animated search and wavy progress indicators.
A curated landing screen with carousels (what's new, recently updated, most downloaded) and a browsable categories section.
Translate an app's summary and description into your language, with a choice of online, self-hosted, or fully offline on-device engines. An optional auto-translate toggle does it for you, and nothing is downloaded until you pick the on-device engine.
- Signing certificate verified against the repository index before any install.
- Anti-feature warnings and the full runtime-permission list on the detail screen.
- A badge flags apps that depend on proprietary Google services.
- The optional GitHub token is scope-less (it only lifts the rate limit), and translation can run fully offline.
Performance
- Unified the data layer on a single Room database, removing the legacy SQLite store, sync service, downloader and index parser.
- Moved list and screen-state work off the main thread, added a baseline profile for faster cold starts, and fixed a freeze (ANR) on the detail screen.
Large catalogues & sync
- Oversized repository rows no longer exceed the SQLite cursor-window limit that could crash the list.
- Reliable sync: auto re-sync after a database reset, no more silent empty-catalogue syncs, a fresh index file each time, and a clear fetching state on first launch. The foreground notification is throttled so it no longer flickers.
Updates & installs
- Hides system-app updates that can't be installed and stops the uninstall-prompt loop for differently-signed system apps.
- Reuses an already-downloaded APK after a signature-conflict uninstall, with no needless re-download.
Download: the latest APK from GitHub Releases. Build from source: see the Building Guide.
Requires Android 6.0 (API 23) or newer. Ships in English and full (formal) French, with the other languages inherited from upstream.
- Droid-ify by LooKeR: the base this fork builds on.
- Foxy-Droid by kitsunyan: the client Droid-ify itself grew from.
Huge thanks to both projects and their contributors. Contributions here are welcome too. Start with the Contributing Guide.
