## What it is
Frost is an open-source third-party Facebook client for Android built as a web wrapper with extensive theming, multi-account support, and notification handling. It is written in Kotlin and distributed via GitHub Releases and F-Droid.

## Use cases
- use facebook on android without the official app
- manage multiple facebook accounts with fast switching
- theme facebook with transparent and custom themes
- get battery-friendly facebook notifications with filtering
- read facebook posts in an overlay browser
- download facebook images with a native viewer

## When to choose
- you want a foss alternative to the official facebook app on android
- you need multi-account support with per-user notifications
- you want deep theming and customization of the facebook experience

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained app, since the project is no longer maintained
- you need a native facebook api client rather than a web wrapper
- you rely on features facebook may break via web changes
