F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

I have never found anything useful in it. And god I have tried. I end up uninstalling it every time.

And the stuff you do want to use is often best installed from the Dev's repo because fdroid takes forever to update theirs.
And last time I checked they still hadn't implemented the now years old APIs that would let them to silently update apps, so unless the phone is rooted you need to click for every update...
