Andronix & Open Source
Which parts of Andronix are open source, which are closed, and how open-source maintainers can get Andronix for free.
This page explains which parts of Andronix are open source and how open-source developers can get everything for free.
Is Andronix open source? 📖🔓
Yes and no: Andronix is partially open source. The free distro (.tar) files and the shell scripts are available on our GitHub repository. The paid parts, like the Android app itself and all the files for Andronix Modded OS, are closed source for obvious reasons.
That doesn't mean we don't love open source. We ❤ open source! If you're a developer or maintainer of an open-source project, we will be more than happy to provide you everything for free for life. Just get in touch with us and complete the verification process 😊.
Please email us your GitHub username and the name of the project you maintain at support@andronix.app, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
