Googles plans to mandate developer verification are threating the existance of the free distribution of apps on android.

If these plans come into effect it will be the end of the f-droid store!

Please go to the page of the KeepAndroidOpen organization](https://keepandroidopen.org/) to see what you can do to prevent this from becoming a reality.

Should google win, I will not consent to relinquishing my personal information to them so this app will not be available on google verified devices any more.

Support and donating

I started this project to solve my own linkwarden on android issues and to give back to the open-source community.

If you want to support apps like LinkDroid please consider donating to the f-droid project, without them I would not have been able to distribute the app so easily and safely.

THANKYOU!
