Übersetzungsstatus














An unofficial open source application written in Flutter to get emergency alerts from https://warnung.bund.de/meldungen. This app has nothing to do with the official APP *Nina* from BBK. New with version 0.4.0 you can also receive emergency alerts from AlertSwiss (Alpha). Starting with version 1.0.0, FOSSWarn will use the [FOSS Public Alert Server](https://invent.kde.org/webapps/foss-public-alert-server), a shared adventure of KDE and FOSSWarn, to receive alerts from over 270 cap alert feeds worldwide.



## Funding

*2024-10 until 2025-10*



> This project was funded through the [NGI0 Core Fund](https://nlnet.nl/core), a fund established by [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/) with financial support from the European Commission's [Next Generation Internet](https://ngi.eu/) programme, under the aegis of [DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/departments-and-executive-agencies/communications-networks-content-and-technology_en) under grant agreement [No. 101092990](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101092990).



    



## Current state of development

We are currently migrating to the FPAS server. Version 0.8.0 will be the last version with direct support for the BBK API; instead, FOSSWarn will completely migrate to FPAS and UnifiedPush notifications. This will be a breaking change.

## FAQ



How to change the notification sound?

Go to the app settings and press „Einstellungen öffnen” -> "Warnstufe: {Warnstufe}" -> "Expand" -> "Sound". 



How do I receive notifications?

FOSS Warn does not use push services. But a background service pulls the latest warnings at a certain frequency and when there is a warning for you, you get a notification. This mechanism only works when the background service is running. When it is stopped, you will not receive any notification. With the status notification you can always see when the last update took place.



Do you have a custom F-Droid repo?

Yes, but you should prefer to download via F-Droid. Because of the extra work, the version in my repo is not the latest. You can add my custom repo to F-Droid and install the latest Github release with your F-Droid client. All info here .



Is FOSS Warn currently german only?

No, the UI is translated via weblate. Alerts via the NINA API are only available in German. Alerts from alertSwiss are available in several languages.



How can I receive update notification for new versions when I use the APK from Github?

In previous versions foss warn had a built-in update check. But we removed this code because it doesn't seem to be necessary for us. If you want to get a notification when we have released a new version, you should take a look at apps like Obtainium.

## Haftungsausschluss 

Diese App wurde in der Hoffnung erstellt, dass sie nützlich ist, kommt aber OHNE JEGLICHE GEWÄHRLEISTUNG. Der Entwickler kann zu keinem Zeitpunkt garantieren, dass die App fehlerfrei funktioniert und alle Warnungen jederzeit anzeigt. Die verwendeten Schnittstellen könnten sich jederzeit verändern, wodurch die App vorerst nicht mehr funktioniert. Verlassen Sie sich deshalb zu KEINEM ZEITPUNKT auf diese App. Auch werden die Warnungen immer mit einer gewissen Verzögerung im Hintergrund empfangen. Diese App benutzt keinen Push-Services, sondern lädt in einem gewissen Zeitabstand die neusten Meldungen und benachrichtigt dann, wenn nötig. Je häufiger die App im Hintergrund Daten lädt, desto mehr Akku verbraucht sie allerdings auch. Entscheiden Sie selbst, was Sie für sich brauchen. Es könnte sein, dass Sie die Akkuoptimierung für FOSS Warn deaktivieren müssen, damit diese richtig funktioniert.
