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

There's a lot of good recommendations here but I haven't seen anyone recommend Trail Sense yet. I use it to keep track of my steps without worrying about my levels of activity being monitored by anyone else. It also notifies me an hour before sunset since I actually go hiking.

Obsidian isn't FOSS. I highly recommend Logseq but keep in mind they require CLA signing for contributions

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

F-Droid, Voyager, Eternity, Libretube

Material Files - the best files app I've ever used! Clean, material design and has everything I need. It can even run an FTP server

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I used that but it started to feel bloated after a while.

Here are some not mentioned in this thread yet.

[–] sibloure@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

Nextcloud News I like for RSS since it fetches the full text article. Obtainium lkke others mentioned is a must have for me.

I'd recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it's hardened.

It's basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile

Here's a few I enjoy using that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

  • Phonograph Plus: elegant music player using Material UI design
  • Etar +ICSΒ² : Etar is a nice-looking calendar app that uses Material UI design, and ICSΒ² enables me to sync the Holiday Calendars provided on Thunderbird.net.
  • Etar+ DAVxΒ² + NextCloud : enables syncing my local Etar calendar(s) with any NextCloud instance (using CalDAV). DAVxΒ² also allows for syncing my Android contacts to NextCloud (using CardDAV)
  • AnySoft Keyboard: extremely customizable, varied keyboard layouts, for those who want all punctuation marks and quote signs built-in.
  • Irregular Expressions: alternative keyboard for goofing around with unicode textstyles (πŸ…’πŸ…˜πŸ…‘πŸ…’πŸ…›πŸ…”πŸ…’, 𝕺𝖑𝖉 π•°π–“π–Œπ–‘π–Žπ–˜π– 𝕭𝖔𝖑𝖉, οΌ₯ο½˜ο½”ο½’ο½ wide, etc.)
  • Simple Notes : minimalist "note to self" memos.

OpenBoard + predictive text binary

What's FNG? Fluid navigation gestures? Is that FOSS? Can you share a link to the codebase? Can't find it

Obtainium is pretty good

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Seriously guys, no one saying Nextcloud?

  • The main app for photo backup.
  • Nextcloud Notes for well, notes you can also use from the desktop.
  • NC Passwords for well, passwords
  • Phonetrack to record your phone to Nextcloud Maps.
  • Deck for the Kanban.
[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I switched to Immich for photo backup/management. It's better by miles.

2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.

megladon for mastodon

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Ente Auth is nice for OTPs, it looks nice and I like that it shows the next code in case it's about to switch.

Neo Store for browsing fdroid

Moshidon for Mastodon
