GoDoc Build Status

F-Droid desktop client.

go get github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl/cmd/fdroidcl

This is not a replacement for the Android client.

While the Android client integrates with the system with regular update checks and notifications, this is a command line client that talks to connected devices via ADB.

Quickstart

Download the index:

fdroidcl update

Show all available apps:

fdroidcl search

Install an app:

fdroidcl install org.adaway

Commands

update                Update the index
search <regexp...>    Search available apps
show <appid...>       Show detailed info about an app
devices               List connected devices
download <appid...>   Download an app
install <appid...>    Install an app
upgrade <appid...>    Upgrade an app
uninstall <appid...>  Uninstall an app
defaults              Reset to the default settings

Missing features

  • Index verification via jar signature - currently relies on HTTPS
  • Interaction with multiple devices at once
  • Device compatibility filters (minSdk, maxSdk, abi, features)

Advantages over the Android client

  • Command line interface
  • Batch install/update/remove apps without root nor system privileges
  • Handle multiple Android devices
  • No need to install a client on the device

What it will never do

  • Run as a daemon, e.g. periodic index updates
  • Graphical user interface
  • Act as an F-Droid server
  • Swap apps with devices running the Android client
