Editor's Overview

Entropy's Defiance is a launcher application developed by F-Droid Open Source, packaged as a single Android APK of version 3.4 weighing in at 18.66 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 18.66 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "F-Droid Open Source" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Entropy's Defiance is a minimalist Android launcher and task manager built around
five time horizons: Today, This Week, This Month,
This Year and This Life. Tasks are stored in plain JSON, so they
sync cleanly with Syncthing or any folder-sync tool, and a small terminal UI is
available for editing the same file from a Linux laptop.

Features
* Time-horizon task list — peek at the next horizon, swipe a task left or right to move it across horizons
* Minimalist home screen with a focused task view
* App drawer with frequency-ranked apps and instant text search
* Calendar widget with free-time calculation across selected calendars
* Zen Mode for distraction-free focus on a single task
* Optional double-tap to launch the dialer
* Accent colour — follow your system's Material You palette, pick a preset, or set a custom colour
* Left-handed mode — mirror the controls to the left
* Plain-JSON storage that syncs over Syncthing
* Guided intro to the five-horizon philosophy — replayable from Settings → Introduction

Permissions
* Query all packages — needed to list installed apps in the drawer
* Read calendar — only used for the calendar widget; you can deny it
* Set wallpaper — used by the launcher to restore your wallpaper
* Bind device admin — only requested if you opt in to Zen Mode's
Do Not Disturb integration

The app is offline-first and contains no trackers, no analytics, and no ads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Entropy's Defiance free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Entropy's Defiance require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Entropy's Defiance safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by F-Droid Open Source. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Entropy's Defiance?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
