I got a low score of 37%, but only because I am running a phone that I cannot unlock the bootloader on to install another OS if possible. I have as many of those proprietary apps as possible disabled or try to refuse to let them have internet and/or data access using NetGuard. That sucks because I’d love to use it in conjunction with the VPN I am paying for, but that would require root, which I don’t have.
The time when I can get a legitimate Linux phone with something like WayDroid for miscellaneous things like PvZ2 Reflourished or my bus pass app or whatever else I might still want/need from android, cannot come soon enough.
All of them.
lineageos default apps identified as proprietary…
shouldn’t this only check for user installed apps?
I think because it only looks at the app ID it struggles a bit. Another user on github mentioned their Xiaomi system apps were proprietary, but because they shared the same IDs as AOSP ones, they were labeled FOSS in the app
The button to open in F-droid opens play store which is ironic.
very ironic
Whars that f-droid client? :D
Why, is the normal client visually different?
Thanks, I use droidify atm but the more thorough explanation of anti features combined with at least that part not looking ugly made my curious :D
Maybe, because you are using the Alpha version of the basic app
Most likely an LLM generated app then
What’s wrong with Supabase? It’s open source and self hostable

Here is the GitHub, however before I install it and test it I’d like to understand if AI was used, and what risks of using it are.
It’s not very accurate. Says a bunch of my Foss apps are proprietary.
It’s a new platform, a lot of apps aren’t there. You can suggest an app as free or proprietary.
But you need to create account first :|
Ouch
Ouch indeed
That’s a lot of apps

Assuming you’re new to the idea: never a better time to start. 😊
Is there a way to filter out system apps?
Assuming that everything on F-Droid is open source: F-Droid, Syncthing Fork, Termux, Linux Command Library, Jerboa, DuckDuckGo, KDE Connect, Librera Reader, Material, NewPipe, NewsBlur, Pedometer, PeerTube, Simon Tatham’s Puzzle Collection, Tusky, VLC and Warpinator.
Oh hey lets see which apps i can swap!
these are all the apps with alternatives, some of which arent even the same type of app (mastodon instead of tiktok)🙂
Should be Higher (-2) because I have MicroG installed, and it misidentifies them as the proprietary GMS since they share the same app ID.
Interesting, for me it recognised microg correctly
All of em, so like ~60 if you count the preinstalled ones that are also FOSS.
So you either don’t use a banking app or your bank is awesome and has a foss app?
Yeah no money things allowed on my phone. Browser based and on my desktop only.
I wish banks were forced to have an open API that FOSS devs could hook into.
Half.
Which half?
The better half.
The other half.
Sad its unusable for IOS
