I keep it simple so I can confidently download the apps.

I can't keep track of which repos are safe, and we've seen posts on here from people getting sketchy apps from a repo they added.

I'm sure there are other safe repos, and I'm willing to add one if people recommend an app that requires it, but I'll probably remove it afterwards.

Wow thanks for this post. Today I learned about Fdroid Repos. (Feeling sheepishly stupid but slight more informed now.)

I like Kde Itinerary for traveling so I add the Kde Android repo

I installed droid-ify, an alternative front-end for F-Droid, it comes with a whole bunch of repo's by default.

Droid-ify has a lot more by default (but unticked). You can have a look and see what you could use. I use cromite and mulch as navigators, and you can find them there (cromite repo and divestOS repo)

I wouldn't personally even use IzzyonDroid. The only other F-droid repo I use is cromite

I like to add as many repos as I can.
The more apps in F-Droid,
the less reason to go to GooglePlay :)

Here is a list with all repo's I've got imported:

I usually keep the Archive variants disabled,
but they're nice to keep around,
for if you ever need an old version of an app.

Also,
most of these I've found through Droid-Ify,
it's my favorite app to manage my F-Droid apps: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/

Newpipe

Futo repo for Futo Voice Input App. Totally free open-source offline speech to text engine. Works better than I expected (for English).

There are general purpose repos and specific app repos. Those for specific apps might allow you to download apps not found elsewhere or they might just get you the update a little faster.

I have the repos for Collabora and Newpipe enabled on mine for those reasons.

You might also look at Obtanium if you're looking to keep specific apps updated.

I only add some app-specific repos to get more frequent updates on those. Newpipe and Fedilab in particular.
I know that I could use other tools to install directly from their release images but sticking with F-Droid for now for simplicity.

I have active the DivestOS repo, since I use Mull as my main browser. It has also some other nice privacy focused apps.

Those are what I use 😁. You can check here for some trusted repo https://t.me/fdroid_repos

Newpipe and bitwarden?
