Welcome to our android application. We are excited to engage the community in development, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

DuckDuckGo is growing fast and we continue to expand our fully distributed team. We embrace diverse perspectives, and seek out passionate, self-motivated people, committed to our shared vision of raising the standard of trust online. If you are a senior software engineer capable in either iOS or Android, visit our careers page to find out more about our openings!

We use git submodules and so when you are checking out the app, you'll need to ensure the submodules are initialized properly. You can use the --recursive flag when cloning the project to do this.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/duckduckgo/android.git

Alternatively, if you already have the project checked out, you can initialize the submodules manually.

git submodule update --init

We have taken steps to update our terminology and remove words with problematic racial connotations, most notably the change to main branches, allow lists, and blocklists. Closed issues or PRs may contain deprecated terminology that should not be used going forward.

Please refer to contributing.
