What is neo-store?

Neo Store is an Android app that serves as a client for F-Droid, a catalog of free and open-source Android applications. F-Droid is an alternative to the Google Play Store where every app in the catalog is freely available and open-source. Neo Store is not the official F-Droid app, it is a third-party client that connects to the same repositories but offers a more modern interface and additional features. The app focuses on making it easy to browse, search, and install apps from F-Droid and around 100 other compatible repositories that are built into the app. It shows top-downloaded apps, supports extensive filters for finding apps by category or other criteria, and displays a privacy panel with information about what permissions and trackers each app uses. It also shows reproducible build labels, a verification that the app binary you are downloading actually matches the public source code. The interface supports light, dark, and high-contrast themes as well as dynamic colors that adapt to your Android wallpaper. Sync times are fast, and you can add or manage your own repositories beyond the built-in ones. Neo Store is written in Kotlin, licensed under the GPLv3 open-source license, and available for download from F-Droid itself, IzzyOnDroid, Codeberg, and GitHub. Translation contributions are accepted through the Weblate platform, and a community exists on both Telegram and Matrix for questions and discussion. The project started as a modification of Foxy-Droid and has since grown into its own actively maintained application. A public roadmap on Codeberg tracks planned future improvements.
