This is just about everything I have on my phone. I’m on a FairPhone 4 running /e/OS. What’s your load out like?
I’m looking for a new keyboard. Glad for suggestions :D
You must log in or register to comment.
All of these list are great as we discover new apps each time.
But, I would suggest to write what is the app about.
- Moshidon: letting me communicate with people on Mastodon
- QKSMS: text message (SMS) app
- KISS Launcher: a very neat launcher that took a while before I could love it as I do now
- FairEmail: an email client with tons of options
- Mull: a fork of Firefox
- Privacy Browser: a browser based on WebView
- Simple Calendar Pro: for managing my self-hosted CalDAV (waiting for Fossify’s version)
- Fossify Gallery: managing my images and videos
- AntennaPod: listening to podcasts
- Bitwarden: managing my self-hosted vaultwarden
- Download Navi: download files instead of using the browser
- Foxy Droid: making browsing apps on mainly F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid like old-school Google Play Store
- Loop Habits: logging my habits
- Hypatia: protecting my smartphone from malware using ClamAV
- Lemuroid: able to play my childhood favourite games wherever I am
- Miniflutt: read RSS posts through my self-hosted Miniflux server
- Mullvad VPN: protecting my identity wherever I am
- OpenTracks: track my movements
- Seal: download videos from mainly YouTube, but also converting YouTube videos to MP3 files (perfect for downloading music mixes for my bicycle trips)
- Syncthing: syncing important files to and from my desktop
- Voyager: browsing Lemmy
- URL Radio: listening to manually added radio stations
- Tasks: reminding me to do stuff
- Unexpected Keyboard: by far the best keyboard with really good shortcuts
- Planisphere: exploring the sky and letting me plan my astro photography
- LibreTube: exploring YouTube through Piped API
- Simple Voice Recorder: letting me record stuff when I don’t have my audio recorder with me (waiting for Fossify’s version)
I use KDE Connect as a media remote and to transfer files between my phone and computers. It has quite a few other functions, like remote mouse control, sms, seems to share clipboards as well.
don’t be fooled by the name, KDE connect also works on GNOME and even Windows. It is a truly wonderful app
I’d recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it’s hardened.
It’s basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile
Love Aegis and Bitwarden, but here’s another one that’s a must if you’re on stock android:
NetGuard
Blocks network access for apps and processes on your phone, great way to ensure apps aren’t calling home all the time.
I would recommend RethinkDNS instead of NetGuard, it has the same firewall capabilities but it also lets you change DNS (with Dnscrypt / DoT / DoH) and also lets you connect to a Wireguard VPN. It’s amazing.
- FluffyChat
- Seeker
- Pano Scrobbler
- Mull
- Orbot
- FairEmail
- Librera
- Kanji Dojo
- KeePass2Android
- PipePipe
- LibreTube
- Aegis
- OpenLauncher
- Translate You
- DITMM?
- Wormhole William
- Breezy Weather
- Retro Music
- OsmAnd
- monerujo
- NeoStore
- Prepaid Balance
- QKSMS, though it’s pretty low maintenance
- EasyNoise
- Simple Gallery
- SCEE, which is way more fun that any proprietary AR spyware IMO!
Not sure about the rest of those, but Obsidian isn’t OS either.
Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases
I’d suggest Feeder for RSS. I haven’t found a perfect feed reader, but Feeder is at least no-nonsense.
My MVP FLOSS apps are
- Kiss launcher
- K-9 (email)
- Fennec (slight improvement over Firefox)
- VLC (media player)
- Antennapod (podcasts)
- Voice (audio books)
- Newpipe (YouTube without the Google snooping)
- Markor (notes)
- Authenticator (two factor authentication)
- DAVx5 (calendar and contacts sync)
- ICSx5 (adds ICS events to calendar)
- Syncthing (serverless file sync)
- Tusky (Mastodon)
All of those are from F-droid; I’m slowly moving to Obtainium from Aurora store to keep a couple of non-FLOSS apps updated.
You should try Mull and Fedilab
I did 🙂 I’m good with my choices.
Catima - for saving arbitrary barcodes and stuff that are hard to integrate into other wallets. I keep my local library card in there, and it works wonderfully
Nonocross - fun little game that has zero frills and distractions. Also very responsive on their github to suggestions and improvements
Termux - when I need to get into things from afar, this is how I do it
Box, Box! - Formula 1 news, schedules, standings, etc
Coffee - Sometimes I want to keep the display awake, so this comes in handy
