Request: Add to F‑Droid (official repository)

[Kdroidwin]

Hello — I would like to request that Essentials be added to the official F‑Droid repository.

Request

• Please consider adding Essentials to the official F‑Droid repository.

Why

• The repository is open source (MIT) and making it available via F‑Droid would make it easier for privacy‑minded users to discover and install.
• Distribution via F‑Droid’s automated builds improves transparency and trust.

Thank you.

100% this.

There's some progress, a fellow dev in the community is working on a F-Droid repo so I will be working with them to learn a bit about how this process works and proceed with it. Let's see :)

I gave a try, but I do not want to publish a half broken version there as we can not have dependencies like Google device location use or more importantly wearOS support.

Because of this I am just gonna give up on F-Droid publication idea at least for now as it was kind of a mess.

But, instead, you will get a much better in-app updater next release :)
