NGI Mobifree Fund

More ethical and human mobile software

This page contains a concise overview of projects funded by NLnet foundation that belong to NGI Mobifree Fund (see the thematic index). There is more information available on each of the projects listed on this page - all you need to do is click on the title or the link at the bottom of the section on each project to read more.

Mobile devices like phones and tablets have become pervasive: they are our gateway to the world at large, function as an external brain and are increasingly part of even our most intimate moments. People should therefore be far more empowered when it comes to such a critical dependency. If we want everyone to use and benefit from the internet to its full potential without holding back, the internet must be built on strong and transparent technologies that allow for permissionless innovation and are equally accessible to all.

Mobifree is a pilot programme designed to push beyond the status quo of mobile software, and create a virtuous cycle of innovation through free and open source software, libre hardware and open standards. It has brought together a number of the "movers and shakers" of the open mobile ecosystem, in order to deliver a comprensive development effort and advance a number of important free and open source technologies. Another part of the effort was a series of open calls that redistributed part of the budget to independent effort, so called Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP). These calls were held between February 2024 and December 2025.

Mobifree is part of the Next Generation Internet initiative, which focuses on the development and maintenance of internet commons that support the vision of a resilient, trustworthy and sustainably open technology stack that empowers users, and grants everyone full autonomy.

Quick overview of the projects

During the course of the programme, no less than 26 projects were funded. While open calls by their very nature yield a great diversity in terms of solutions towards different problems for different stakeholders, there are still quite some shared directions among them. The first and largest cluster of projects funded within Mobifree is concerned with the security of Android operating systems and their app ecosystem. This kind of horizontal effort to protect the integrity of the operating system, find and remove stalkerware, tracking software and detect other malicious activity, is something that is systematically above the responsibility of the individual developer and user. It is therefore a critical issue to address for the open source ecosystem.

Androguard and OWASP blint perform static and dynamic analysis of Android apps, analysing the binaries to find malware indicators and generate a Software Bill of Materials that can be used to understand inherent weaknesses such as outdated dependencies. APKpatcher/PyAxml are tools which can be used to subsequently modify Android package files to remove undesired elements.

Pithus, the PiRogue Tool Suite, Bugbane and IsMyPhonePwned are all tools for mobile device forensic analysis and threat intelligence with different approaches and security guarantees - from 'first aid' approaches like an end-user friendly scanning from a web browser (IsMyPhonePwned) or an installable app (Bugbane) to more professional analysis tools that perform the analysis externally (Androguard, Pithus, PiRogue Tool Suite) – to avoid the situations where an advanced attacker that has successfully entered a device anticipates such entry level scans and fools the scanner. Obviously, the more professional tools are important building blocks for organisations that have to monitor the security of an entire fleet of devices (so called mobile device management).

Another cluster of projects is aimed at improving the operating system level of Android. Android translation layer (ATL) allows to run Android apps on Linux, which broadens the utility, enables reuse and makes it much easier for developers to do quality assurance. VirtuAndroid is an application-layer virtualisation for Android apps. SIMcurity is a highly advanced project to secure how the software handles dealing with a specific piece of cricical hardware in phones, namely the SIM interface. It is well-known that the low level baseband interaction with the SIM card (which is really a small computer) is one of the headache dossiers of security, and this isolation layer will help protect phones and users against SIM vulnerabilities and hostility. VoWiFi Watchdog warns users for misconfigurations and hidden blocks at the mobile telecom provider level, in particular for voice calls (“voice over WiFi”). Without this project, users are likely to blame their open source operating system for intentional and non-intentional breakage by their mobile operator. A final effort is aimed at opening up Apple’s Low Latency Wi-Fi Protocol, which helps to decrease the lock-in of users into the Apple ecosystem by creating an open-source interoperable implementation of the protocol for Linux. This protocol underpins applications such as Continuity Camera (using an iPhone as external camera) and Sidecar (using an iPad as wireless additional display), meaning that if people want to switch away from the Apple ecosystem they will be able to do so in a gradual way – without immediate loss of functionality.

The next cluster concerns app stores, again another one of the target areas identified for the programme. The app stores play a key role in the market dominance, acting both as gatekeeper and as a proprietary lever against OEMs – and they force the user to agree with terms and conditions they would probably not consent to given a real choice. The most important open source app store for Android (and part of the NGI Mobifree project) is F-Droid, and two project directly aim at improving that effort: F-Droid App Overhaul is modernising the F-Droid mobile app, while LambdaNative F-Droid integration is enabling developers using Scheme to directly publish to the F-Droid store.

Not all apps are free and open source, but users might still depend on some apps which don’t comply with the strict policies of F-Droid – even if only for a transitional period. IzzyOnDroid is a popular third party repository for FOSS Android apps, built on top of F-Droid – facilitating users that need apps which don’t fit into the main F-Droid store because of licensing or other requirements. Termux is another popular app distribution mechanism and runtime for Android, aimed at terminal apps. The project funded within Mobifree will allow external projects to use Termux execution environment in their own apps, and the project will also implement the new APK Library File (APKLF) execution/packaging design so that Termux can comply with security restrictions in Android 10 and newer that prevents apps from executing downloaded code. The project Weblate Android SDK will make it possible to decouple software distribution and translation. Currently, adding or updating a translation requires a new release of apps. The SDK will empower users to update their translations immediately once a new translation/localisation for Android apps is available, which will speed up community translations and unburden the developers.

Users have come accustomed to proprietary tools and services which are useful and for which there are no good open alternatives available. Maps are one such domain, and a topic of particular interest to Mobifree. OpenAGPS provides a privacy-friendly, self-hostable location service as a partial alternative to Google Maps, while Easy Transit 2 delivers another part of the functionality of that app by building a public transit navigation app – even with some offline capabilities. An adjacent functionality is Google’s Find Your Phone which locates your phone on a map; the project Find My Device replaces this service with a privacy-preserving alternative. Obviously, unlike the Google alternative this will also work in an emergency and disaster situation.

Translations are another domain where users often depend on proprietary services. Offline Translator and RTranslator 3.0 are free and open alternatives to services like Google Translate, but instead of leaking personal data to a remote server in another jurisdiction these projects provide the full translation on the user’s device itself – and in the case of RTranslator even for spoken text. Because they are designed for offline usage these will work in emergency and disaster situations, for instance in a refugee camp or to communicate with people when international rescue teams enter a disaster area such as a flood or earthquake terrain.

Among the projects there were also some efforts to improve the ‘Quality of life’ for users and developers, ranging from input correction for a popular open source Android keyboard (Unexpected Keyboard Autocomplete/Correct) and more efficient text input for touch screen devices with Gesture Typing for AOSP-derived Keyboards. Users are very attached to specific input methods, but Google has all but abandoned the code from the original AOSP project. By supporting independent continuation of the development of these components, the entire Android ecosystem benefits.

The two final projects are working towards the support for open standards, both within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Solid Share develops a digital mobile wallet for W3C Solid, the standard for self-hosted LinkedData. and CanIWebView is aimed at standardisation of the so called WebView. One of the consortium partners within NGI Mobifree is the messaging app DeltaChat, which is the driving force behind a new app ecosystem built on web technologies called WebXDC which would benefit greatly from having a consistent and fully standardised WebView.

Together we work towards better technologies to secure democratic ownership of our the digital society. Our goal is to help mobile technology evolve to a more healthy state, provide people with concrete new tools and more reliable infrastructure, in order to provide better security and allow users more agency and choice. All project results are made available under a free and open source license so you will be able to study, use, modify and share everything with anyone you want!

APKpatcher/PyAxml — Support tool to manipulate APK and AXML file

The Apkpatcher and pyaxml tools suite is used to analyze, unpack and pack APKs (the Android file format for applications) and also AXML and ARSC files used inside these packages to store data and metadata.

The core strategy is to be able to have a simple and modular way to manipulate these three formats for security reasons: to audit parsers, to audit applications (thanks to some features added to sniff the traffic or automatize some test directly by injecting code inside the APK) or to remove some trackers from an APK for privacy reasons. A code sharing website is planned, so users can share patches to remove trackers and keep control over their devices.

Android translation layer (ATL) — Run Android apps on Linux

The Android Translation Layer is an alternative implementation of Android application APIs on top of standard Desktop Linux, with the ability to run apps as-is using some AOSP components such as ART+libcore, modified to use system-provided libraries where possible to further the goal of being as lightweight as possible. That is in contrast with existing container-based solutions which require running a whole AOSP system in parallel to the host Linux system, resulting in considerably higher resource usage (both disk space and RAM) and longer startup times. The higher efficiency of ATL can make it viable to sideload apps also on more constrained devices. Another benefit of our approach is better integration with the desktop, such as native notifications.

Androguard — Static and dynamic analysis of Android apps

The Androguard project is used to analyze Android applications. This project marks a major evolution for Androguard, focusing on modernizing its architecture. The core strategy is to replace its monolithic structure with a suite of independent, native Python libraries for parsing essential Android files like AXML, APK, and DEX. This modular approach will make the tools easier to maintain, reduce external dependencies, and allow for greater flexibility.

Performance is a key driver of this initiative. To tackle the primary analysis bottleneck, a new high-speed dex-bytecode library will be developed in Rust with Python bindings. The main Androguard project will then be refactored to integrate these new, faster components, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient core tool for static analysis.

Building on this new foundation, the project will expand into advanced security domains. This includes APKXploit, a new tool for penetration testing; AndroidIR, which will enable sophisticated code analysis via an Intermediate Representation; and Androguard-MCP, an innovative plugin to help security engineers in discovering vulnerabilities more effectively.

Bugbane — App for self-conducting device forensics on Android devices

Bugbane is a lightweight Android forensics and anomaly-detection tool designed to help users identify signs of compromise, including spyware, stalkerware, and other suspicious behavior, directly on their own devices. Bugbane builds on de-facto standard efforts such as MVT, reusing its indicators-of-compromise (IoC) formats and datasets, and is compatible with AndroidQF exports. It is designed to integrate easily into the existing workflows of civil society organizations, supporting their encryption tools of choice.

Bugbane operates on-device, without requiring additional hardware or rooting and guides users through a structured, user-friendly acquisition and analysis process. By simplifying data collection and consensual sharing of forensic artifacts with partner organizations, Bugbane aims to reach users who are typically outside established support networks, contributing to a broader and more accurate understanding of threats targeting civil society.

Easy Transit 2 — Public transit navigation app with some offline capabilities

The goal of Easy Transit is to make public transit dependable for a local, and de-mystified for a tourist. After successfully developing an app with a more limited geographic scope (Tallinn, Estonia), within this grant the project is now scaling up for broader international coverage while retaining its strong points - levering existing initiatives like Transitious. Key aspect is that it should work offline whenever possible, saving cost and taking just couple seconds to show you departure times. It also doesn't rely on an interactive map, and hence is accessible to people with limited sight or motor disabilities. It tries to explain the route you need to take in a way you understand, not just throw you into a list-and-map pool and have you do the work.

F-Droid App Overhaul — Modernise the F-Droid mobile app store

F-Droid is a software ecosystem around Android applications. It is an app store kit, a platform, an app and catalogue of free and open source applications. The app makes it easy to browse and install apps, and redistribute these from your own device to others.

This project is about modernizing and rewriting the official F-Droid app that still dates back to the early days of Android in 2009. The goal is to make the app easier to use and more appealing especially for new users.

The rewrite will use the latest technologies and will make it easier and more attractive to contribute to the app while also making it easier for the maintainers to review and merge external contributions due to better test coverage and less code entanglement.

LambdaNative F-Droid integration — Portable, Productive and Performant App Development with Scheme

LambdaNative is an free and open source framework that allows for creation of cross-platform applications, in particular on Android and general desktop operating systems such as Linux, BSD's, OS X or Windows. With LambdaNative, even someone with minimal programming background can create nice applications ranging from basic to advanced, using the Scheme programming language. This makes it very suitable for those that do not have a computer science background but still need to create a custom app - such as most researchers, educators and people working in the public sector.

The aim of the project is to add a LambdaNative pipeline to publish apps on the free and open source F-Droid app store. The second part of the project will create educational materials to teach people how to work with LambdaNative mobile application and how to publish their app.

FMD — Privacy-preserving mobile device location

FMD allows you to locate and remotely control your Android device. This is useful if you have lost or misplaced it. FMD is decentralised, and users remain in full control of their data.

With FMD, you can send commands to your phone: to locate it via GPS, to locate it via nearby cell towers, to take a picture, to lock it, to let it ring, or to factory-reset it. Commands can be sent over multiple transport channels: over SMS, over third-party messaging apps like Signal or Matrix (that post a notification to the Android notification tray), or over the "FMD Server" (a self-hostable server providing a web interface to control your device).

Gesture Typing for AOSP-derived Keyboards — More efficient text input for mobile touch screen devices

HeliBoard is a very customizable and privacy-conscious open-source keyboard for Android. The current gesture typing feature, which lets you input words by swiping your finger over the letters, is only accessible when adding abandoned closed source code by Google.

Goal of this project is a well working and completely open-source implementation of gesture typing. Gesture typing quality will be ensured by sample contribution by developers and volunteers and comparison with results of said closed source code. The gesture typing library will be developed separately from HeliBoard, with a compatibility layer allowing it to be used as a drop-in replacement for said closed source gesture typing code. This approach will allow for compatibility with other virtual keyboards, mainly for Android, but also for other systems e.g. Linux.

IsMyPhonePwned — Scan phone security directly from a web browser

"IsMyPhonePwned" is a new open-source initiative designed to put the power of security back into the users hands. By leveraging the speed and safety of Rust, the project allows anyone to run a comprehensive security scan on their phone directly from a web browser implementing WebUSB. There's nothing to install and no complicated setup; just a simple, clear process to check for compromise with complete anonymity and privacy.

"IsMyPhonePwned" aims to be more than just a tool; it's a statement that privacy is a fundamental right. By providing a free, accessible, and trustworthy way for journalists, activists, and any concerned citizen to secure their devices, we are building a community-driven defense against digital intrusion, one phone at a time.

IzzyOnDroid — Third party repository for FOSS Android apps

IzzyOnDroid provides Android apps which are available under free and open source licenses approved by OSI/FSF. With its more than 1,200 apps, this already popular repository is the largest third-party F-Droid-compatible repository - with more than 200,000 daily visitors on the primary site alone, not counting mirrors. Its intent is to provide useful apps, connecting a vibrant community of developers and users, with a focus on transparency, privacy, and security.

The goal of this project is to provide additional security, transparency, flexibility, and decentralization – e.g. by advancing our reproducible builds (which already cover more than a third of all apps in our collection) and making our tooling easier available for others to use.

Opening up Apple’s Low Latency Wi-Fi Protocol — Open-source interoperable implementation of LLW for Linux

Apple developed a proprietary protocol called Low Latency Wi-Fi (LLW) that enables several inter-device streaming features in the Apple ecosystem. This link-layer protocol acts as the basis for applications with low-latency and real-time constraints, such as using a phone’s camera wirelessly as a webcam on a laptop. This project focuses on implementing an open-source counterpart for Apple’s LLW protocol stack on Linux, thereby providing interoperability of Apple platforms and bringing a useful low-latency protocol to the open-source community. This way, LLW will be available to third parties, which is of importance to strengthen end-users in having more choices and hindering Apple from gatekeeping technologies.

OWASP blint — Versatile binary linter, malware research tool and SBOM generator

OWASP blint is an open-source binary linter and SBOM generator. The project had a humble origin as a linting tool, but soon found rapid adoption for a range of use cases such as malware identification (MalwareBazaar is a large-scale user), binary risk audits, and more recently binary SBOM generation for Android apk, go, dotnet, and rust binaries. The current version of Blint can already generate a granular SBOM for Android apk/aab files, up to some extent even from binary.

Within the scope of this grant, the team will enhance blint to improve package identification for native binary blobs (c/rust/kotlin native) bundled within an android app, will add fuctionality to identify cloud services, domain names, IP addresses, and other sensitive literals by performing static analysis on binaries. In addition support will be added for generating precise SBOM for swift binaries (unencrypted/debug files) by integrating blint with an LLVM frontend and a number of general improvements will be made to linting rules for mobile apps.

Offline Translator — On-device translations using open models

Offline translator is a privacy-focused application that handles multilingual needs entirely on-device, without sending data to external servers. It supports text and image translation with automatic language detection, transliteration across scripts, dictionary look-ups and text-to-speech functionality.

The app uses exclusively open code, models and datasets, and will contribute to those ecosystems as necessary.

OpenAGPS — Privacy-friendly, self-hostable location service

Location-specific services benefit greatly from location awareness. However, satellite signals are slow and not always reliably available in urban areas (let alone inside buildings). Hence the need for "assisted GPS", which uses alternate sources such as information based on mobile cell ids to determine location. While it seems obvious for such a capability to be a digital commons, there are no open services reliably providing this information- Mozilla operated something called the Mozilla Location Service, but this was retired recently. This leaves users either unserved or with a huge dependency on a few large vendors that bundle their own location service (based on non-public data sources and dark code) - with the latter users being dependent on the availability of and connectivity to specific machines on the internet. This project aims to provide a self-hostable alternative based on free and public sources, such as Galmon and OpenCellID, which would function independently from the services mentioned earlier.

PiRogue Tool Suite — Consensual mobile device forensic analysis and incident response solution

The PiRogue Tool Suite (PTS) is an open source, consensual digital forensic analysis and incident response solution that empowers organizations with comprehensive tools for network traffic analysis, mobile forensics, knowledge management, and artifact handling. The tool suite includes both hardware and software components, with the PiRogue network router and Colander, a case management platform.

PTS aims to be a universally accessible and cost-effective solution for digital investigations, which is comprehensive, user-friendly design and modular. This allows for instance academics, civil society, and independent media to analyze artifacts, build investigations, and generate reports and intelligence feeds. This project will add support for dynamic analysis from emulated Android devices in addition to physical devices. implement TLS decryption for Flutter-based applications

Pithus — Free and open-source mobile threat intelligence

Pithus is a free and open-source Android threat intelligence platform aimed at activists, journalists, NGOs and researchers. Its goals is to provide intelligible and relevant information aggregated from several android application analysis tools to facilitate the understanding, reverse engineering, and threat analysis of android applications. Pithus adapts to its users by providing easy to read information on application behaviors, as well as precise technical data and analysis tools to detect similar malicious samples. Functionalities to easily pivot to other malwares of a same family, create custom detection rules, and monitor, detect and analyse new emerging threats. Pithus is community driven with an ever growing database of android applications.

This grant focuses on developing a number of new features and performing well overdue maintenance and necessary refactoring tasks, as well as provide adequate documentation and QoL improvements.

Solid Share — Digital Mobile Wallet for W3C Solid

This project works on a native app for the Android operating system, allowing citizens to use their solid pod as data and digital wallet. It allows users to login into their Solid pod with different accounts, manage their data (for instance also travel ticket and passes), share private files by means of a QR code, s and sync other Solid data modules (such as Contacts) within the Android ecosystem without needing extra apps. The app is designed offline-first. The goal of this project is to bring Solid into the hands of regular people, making them aware of the existence of the Solid project and allowing them to have a smooth and easy experience. It should be a base platform for using Solid pods as a daily usage storage as well.

Termux — Android terminal app and software distro/run-time

Termux is an Android app that provides a terminal emulator and a GNU/Linux distribution environment with 2000+ packages and executes programs natively on Android host OS/kernel, without any emulation or containerisation. It allows users to locally do most things that can be done on a Linux PC, like program in many languages, use text editors/IDEs, backup files, host websites and servers, and even run a full linux desktop interface.

Under the NGI Mobifree grant the following three improvements to Termux are planned to be implemented: 1) A termux-core library will be created which allows external projects to use Termux execution environment in their own apps. 2) A new APK Library File (APKLF) execution/packaging design will be implemented so that Termux can comply with security restrictions in Android 10 and newer that prevents apps from executing downloaded code. Currently Termux works by being compiled in backward compatibility mode. 3) Package sources will be patched to read paths from environment variables exported by the app, or compiled package files will be patched at install time, rather than relying on hardcoded paths in the package files to Termux rootfs.

Unexpected Keyboard Autocomplete/Correct — Input correction for popular alternative Android keyboard

Unexpected Keyboard is a lightweight and privacy-conscious virtual keyboard for Android-based mobile operating systems. Its distinguishing feature is that you can type different characters by swiping your finger towards the corner of the key, a feature was originally designed for programmers using Termux. This allows to fit much more characters on screen than a regular keyboard layout, and prevents users from having to continuously switch just to input content containing characters spread across layouts. This project will add (offline) word suggestion and correction to Unexpected Keyboard, which well help to make the app even more user-friendly.

VirtuAndroid — Application-layer virtualization for Android apps

VirtuAndroid builds a fully open-source application-layer virtualization framework for the Android OS, designed to guarantee the main security and privacy principles. Unlike existing solutions, which break the Android permission and sandbox models, this framework provides per-app isolation, a permission system, and robust storage isolation within the virtual environment. It supports recent and upcoming Android versions through modular interception layers and offers hooking capabilities at both the Java and native levels, enabling advanced analysis, instrumentation, and security experimentation within a controlled environment.

VoWiFi Watchdog — Identify blocks and misconfigurations for VoWiFi

VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi, also WiFi-calling) is the preferred channel for voice calls and messages for 4G/5G for most operators and operating systems (i.e., Android, iOS). However, there is a lack of transparency regarding existing operator practices and the security of everyday voice calls and messages. There are shocking security weaknesses such as default and static private keys, insecure configurations, as well as anti-consumer practices (geoblocking) at live operators.

Operators still use shared private keys to encrypt their customers' communication, allowing adversaries to eavesdrop on calls and messages. Due to the lack of transparency, customers have no way of evaluating the settings for their current operator and operators have little incentive for improvements. The VoWiFi Watchdog project will regularly probe operator's VoWiFi configurations to detect deployed geoblocking measures and expose deprecated security settings. The scan results will be automatically published at our project platform, allowing customers to check their current (or future) operator, motivating operators to upgrade insecure setups. This will help to bring transparency to the VoWiFi ecosystem.

CanIWebView — Contributing to standardisation of WebView in W3C

Web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript are also used very much outside of a  Web browser, because they are well standardized, openly available and many developers know how to build for the web. WebViews are software components used to render Web content inside native apps. They are integral to the mobile web experience, as in-app web content display for social media and serving as a foundation for entire applications and games built with web technologies. WebViews are, however, very much overlooked by web developers, web standards developers, and browser engine vendors in terms of compatibility and feature availability.

As part of the W3C WebView Community Group, this project addresses a critical gap in the web platform by establishing comprehensive testing infrastructure and resources for WebView compatibility. The initiative will deliver three key components: open-source testing applications for Android and iOS distributed through app stores, automated testing infrastructure using WebDriver-like tools for continuous compatibility monitoring, and the caniwebview.com website as resource for WebView compatibility data and documentation. Through regular meetings and conference sessions with stakeholders in the WebView space this project aims to improve the user experience, address common issues and lay foundations to future standards.

Weblate Android SDK — Live localisation updates for Android apps

Weblate is a free and open-source localisation platform. Thanks to Weblate, thousands of projects including applications, websites or even comic art pieces are easily translated into any language desired. Weblate removes the hurdle of understanding a programming language from the translation process, thus enabling anyone to join the efforts, and building active user communities with truly democratic spirit around the projects involved.

The aim of the Android SDK project is to support streamlining community driven localisation efforts directly into android application without the additional step of releasing a new version. This will further ease the process of translating and will enable developers to allow translations into a wider range of languages, including those with smaller communities.
