+# fdroidcl
+
+F-Droid desktop client.
+
+Not yet a replacement for the Android client, since many features are still
+missing.
+
+For simplicity, it tries to follow the `apt-get`/`apt-cache` commands where it
+makes sense such as `update`, `show`, `install` and `remove`.
+
+### Current features
+
+ * Single repo support
+ * Update the index
+ * List all apps
+ * Show details of an app
+
+### Missing features
+
+ * Searching
+ * Multi-repo support
+ * Interaction with a device
+   - Probably via the command `adb`
+   - Fetch device details (Android version, architecture, ...)
+   - Fetch installed applications
+   - Should use a `sync` command if always fetching the data above is slow
+   - Install, update and remove applications
+
