LibreCHovid

COVID-19 tracing client for Switzerland

New in version 2.0.1+nogaen-4

* Update to SwissCovid 2.0.1:
* SwissCovid check-in:
SwissCovid check-ins allow you to check in to a location or meeting with the app. In this way, you can be alerted if there is a risk of infection – regardless of the distance.
No data is stored centrally:
Your presence is only stored in the app.
You don't have to leave any personal data in the app.
* Offer check-ins:
Generate a QR code that people can use to check in on site.

LibreCHovid is a fork of the official SwissCovid contact tracing app for Switzerland. It does not rely on the proprietary Google-Apple Exposure Notification framework, but uses instead the compatible microG free implementation. It will therefore run on devices without Google Mobile Services.

The functionality of the application is the same as the original. However, as it does not have the privileges granted to GMS, its ability to run reliably in the background may be affected. Our internal tests have shown it to behave well on various systems, but your mileage may vary.

Please note that this fork is not supported by the Swiss authorities.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
