What Bitwarden actually does
Bitwarden is a password manager with an audited, open codebase and a free tier that is genuinely usable rather than a trial that expires. Unlimited passwords, unlimited devices, sync across all of them, and autofill in Chrome and most apps.
This is the F-Droid build, which is not the same file you get from the Play Store. It has the proprietary Google dependencies stripped out, so it works on phones with no Google services at all. The practical cost is that push notifications for vault sync are less immediate, since it falls back to polling instead of Firebase.
Two things to know before you commit. It now requires Android 10 or newer, so older phones are out. And at 82.8 MB it is not a light app, which is worth weighing if storage is tight.
Why this app is on Apkoras
The Bitwarden Android client is licensed under the GPL-3.0, which explicitly permits redistribution. That licence is the written permission that lets us host the file at all.
The file we serve is the original binary from the project’s own release, with the developers’ signature untouched. We do not repackage, re-sign or modify it. The SHA-256 in the panel is the hash of that exact file, and the source is one click away if you would rather read it than trust us.

Common questions
What is the difference between this and the Play Store version?
This is the F-Droid build with the proprietary Google components removed, so it runs on devices without Google services. The main practical difference is that vault sync notifications arrive by polling rather than instantly via Firebase.
Is the free tier actually usable?
Yes. Unlimited passwords across unlimited devices with sync, at no cost. The paid tier adds things most people do not need, such as encrypted file attachments and hardware key support.
Can I host my own server?
Yes. Bitwarden supports self-hosting, and you can point this app at your own server instead of theirs.
Will it run on my older phone?
Only if it runs Android 10 or newer. This build raised the minimum, so Android 9 and below are no longer supported.
How do I check my download is genuine?
On Windows run certutil -hashfile com.x8bit.bitwarden-fdroid.apk SHA256. On Linux or macOS use sha256sum. Compare it to the SHA-256 on this page.
