Does F-Droid provide any sort of stats?

Those are added by Streamlit Community Cloud.

Fear not, you can run/host the app locally. (requires Python)
Quickstart:

git clone https://github.com/kitswas/fdroid-metrics-dashboard.git
cd fdroid-metrics-dashboard
pip install uv
uv run streamlit run dashboard.py

All dependencies will be installed in a new virtual environment in the project folder.

Also, the data files need to be downloaded only once unless you empty the etl/raw directory.

Too much of tracking there. I do not like it a bit. :zipper_mouth_face:

If you have a less invasive hosting provider that does not ask for payment, I’m willing to switch.
Or, you can host the app without trackers instead. Just run the commands above. (Any desktop OS)

In the latest metrics https://fdroid.gitlab.io/metrics/http03.fdroid.net/2025-12-15.json, package id “org.videolan.vlc” is has an entry /repo//org.videolan.vlc_13060505.apk instead of /repo/org.videolan.vlc_13060505.apk.
Not a serious issue, but could reveal underlying edge cases. Given the upgrades/changes recently, thought I should point it out.
Discovered it because the badges data pipeline broke. (Fixed it)

I’d be interested as to the distribution of users installing F-Droid on Google Android vs customrom. Though not the crowd to be generours with user-agent details and telemetry.

oh man, half an hour reading through All our APIs | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository and the web without any useful info, came here to ask and found this thread that provides some info, but most seems 3rd party pages

can someone please provide a simple script to know “last app version download count”??? that is an useful metric any app developer would like to know to get some idea, probably should be better documented

some apps have split apk per architecture, some of the 3rd party dashboards show every split apk as a different version because they have different version number etc

:frowning:

(EDIT: actually the badges provided at https://fdroid-metrics.streamlit.app/ by @kitswas is good enough, with last month and all time downloads, but I don’t feel good having to depend on such 3rd party dashboard)

All these are based on our data, so… just make your own thing :slight_smile:

I don’t feel good having to maintain it either. I try it keep it minimal maintainence.

Perhaps you could convince the official F-Droid team to adopt it. Willing to hand over the repo.

Si quieren un contador de descargas “póngale alguna opción que sea como darle un like un corazón, o bien algo como “cuántas veces se compartió” pero que diga cuantas veces asido descargado, bueno eslo que opino si su intensión es solo contar descargas.:thinking:
