Datensparsame Apps für Android
📆 Donnerstag, 12.11.2026
🕖 18:00-19:30 Uhr
📍 #Stadtbibliothek im Motorama

» In diesem #Workshop zeigen wir Möglichkeiten, die Datensammlung auf einem #Smartphone mit #Android-#Betriebssystemen einzuschränken. Neben allgemeinen Tipps stellen wir vor allem datenschutzfreundliche #Apps und den App-Store #FDroid vor.
Wichtig: Bringen Sie bitte ihr Gerät mit, um direkt vor Ort los zulegen!
Wir unterstützen gerne, falls einmal etwas nicht auf Anhieb klappt.
In Kooperation mit #Digitalcourage, Ortsgruppe #München

I created #UntrackMe a long time ago, and a few months ago I updated it.
Since Android 12, an app can’t open links from domains it doesn’t own, like YouTube or Twitter. So UntrackMe now acts as a browser. You set it as your default browser, it receives all links, removes trackers or redirects them to alternative front-ends, then sends them to your real browser or apps.
Only available on #FDroid f-droid.org/packages/…
Would you like me to keep working on this project?
• Yes, it’s useful
• No, I won’t use it
Adding #FCast support to #CastLab was a good idea, thanks to the contributors who suggested it.
First built for #DLNA devices, the app also works with this open-source protocol, an alternative to closed ones like Chromecast.
It supports screen sharing and playback of online videos. In the next release, it will also offer an AIDL API and a library, so other Android apps can easily use it to cast.
More about FCast: fcast.org
CastLab is only available on #FDroid.
Google allowed a fake malware app disguising itself as Google Chrome onto the Google Play Store and even allowed the dev to use their ad platform to push it above its own official listing:
Tell me again why we should trust this company with “protecting us from malicious apps”?
Those who want safe apps know where to go: IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid: izzyondroid.org/quickstart
I’m slowly getting back to #HolosSocial and #CastLab.
I’ve seen people say Holos is now closed source. That’s not the case. It’s still on the official #FDroid, built from source. My custom repo just runs alongside it for faster updates and betas.
I’ve never released an app or server version without publishing the source code first, and I never will. Open source isn’t a label. It’s code you can read before you install an app or use a service.
SaverTuner – das Akkusparwunder 🔋
Euer Handy-Akku ist ständig zu schnell leer? SaverTuner aus dem F-Droid-Store macht versteckte Akkusparoptionen von Android zugänglich.
Im Video zeige ich euch Schritt für Schritt die Installation und Konfiguration, denn damit die App wirkt, sind einige Einstellungen nötig.

Google demands every developer’s identity in the name of security. Yet more than 50 Play Store apps hiding malware were installed 2.3 million times¹. Meanwhile, #FDroid, which builds every app from source and rejects black boxes, is under threat. This is not about security, it is about control. That is why I don’t want to support this joke.

🧵 Bye Bye Fediverse
“Und als absolute Krönung, werden im Gegensatz zum #DSA kleine Plattformen wie #Mastodon oder #fdroid nicht verschont.
Milliardenkonzerne wie #Meta, #Google und #Apple haben demnach die selben Auflagen zu erfüllen wie kleine, europäische Anbieter.
For those who still see gaps in their home timeline with #Fedilab, there is an open issue on #CodeBerg where I published two new APKs today:

This comment explains how to send reports: codeberg.org/tom79/…
Feel free to help. You can safely install the APK (Google or #FDroid version, from the custom repo) without breaking updates.
F-Droid 2.0 modernisiert den freien App-Store
linuxnews.de/f-droid-2-0-modernisiert-d… #fdroid #google #android
We’ve been working diligently to get #FDroid Client ready for release.
If naming our releases ‘alpha’ or ‘rc’ impeded you to update, now you are free to install.
As usual we are exercising this as a stage roll-out, so you can now expand Versions and install 2.0.
If it’s the first time, or even the n-th time, you’ve heard about our new client work, you can read all the gritty details in the 15 mins post: f-droid.org/2026/…
To everyone involved in delivering 2.0, a sincere “Thank You!”
If you get gaps in your home timeline and you use the custom #FDroid repo or the Google Play version of the app, you’re welcome to try these APKs and share your feedback:
The goal is to make #Fedilab free of gaps, even on very active timelines where some posts are no longer available on your instance.
#CastLab 1.6.0 has been released. It brings several fixes and enhancements. You can now share from any app to cast with CastLab.
Videos shared from #NewPipe are automatically turned into Invidious ones, and the list of Invidious instances is kept up to date.
You can also cast your phone audio to a speaker.
And much more: codeberg.org/tom79/…

I was really surprised to see that the last release of #CastLab got more than 2300 downloads from #Codeberg
codeberg.org/tom79/…
I will publish 1.6.0 soon to fix the open issues.
Also available on #FDroid: f-droid.org/packages/…
@apps@toot.fedilab.app #FDroid has many choices of #UnifiedPush providers 😉 f-droid.org/categories/…
I would like to thank you all for respecting my choice to leave the Google Store. Seeing messages from people joining #FDroid to get the app and sharing their experience with a lot of good feedback made me very happy. What I read most often: F-Droid is easy to use, and the export/import feature works well with #Fedilab.
For push notifications, I recommend using #SunUp
Fedilab Apps
@apps@toot.fedilab.app
#Fedilab updates will no longer reach Google Play store. What's your position:
Getting push notifications with the #FDroid app can be a deal breaker. I will work to make everything smooth in the next release by hosting my own NTFY instance and simplifying the process with #Fedilab, even making it transparent.
My favorite Mastodon app, Fedilab, is no longer on Google Play, but you can still get it from F-Droid.
You can import your old settings, too. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes. I’m not an experienced F-Droid user, but everything went smoothly…
Thanks for the great work! @apps@toot.fedilab.app
