# F-Droid Open Source App Store
F-Droid is the free and open source (FOSS) app store that only has open source apps, without any of Google's spyware or anti free speech code embedded.
You can use a web browser to download the F-droid.apk file from https://f-droid.org and sideload it onto any Android phone.
You can then use the F-droid App Store to install open source apps, and replace the spyware apps that came with your Android phone, such as a keyboard that doesn't log or spy what you type, an email client, camera app, photo gallery, etc..
Since the F-Droid apk file is not coming through Google Play, you should verify the file signature before you install it. This helps to ensure that it was not modified by anyone when you downloaded it.
Instructions for verifying the F-Droid.apk file can be found in the next post. There is no known GUI method for verifying the .asc signature.
