Get it on F-Droid

There is also an alternate F-Droid repository that allows updates for Squawker to be available faster than on the default F-Droid repository.

Scan the QR code below or click this link and process it with your F-Droid client. Here's the full link text for easy viewing:
https://apkrep.creativaxion.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=443DA0A316DFB86BFD05D0123951855E7CD8724969FAD66D6E62EB801299744A

Important note: In case Squawker is already installed on your device and you want to reinstall it or want to install a version from another repository (from F-Droid to github or from F-Droid to the alternate F-Droid repository for instance), make sure to backup your application data (Settings/Data, tap Export, select all items then tap the save icon) and uninstall Squawker before proceeding. After you have reinstalled Squawker from the new repository, import your backup (Settings/Data, tap Import).
