Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on certified Android devices will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google. Since the developers of this app do not agree to this requirement, this app will no longer work on certified Android devices after that time. https://keepandroidopen.org/

☕ Support

LibreFind is a free and open-source project managed independently. Our goal is to promote digital privacy by making FOSS apps mainstream. Currently, LibreFind is trusted by **1,334 registered users ** globally.

While the app is free, infrastructure and hosting servers cost money to keep running 24/7.

If you find this tool useful for reclaiming your digital privacy, please consider buying me a coffee. Your support goes directly toward:

  • Paying monthly server bills.
  • Keeping the database online and fast.
  • Development of new features.
