Here's what I'm rocking:

  • Aegis
  • App Lounge
  • AntennaPod
  • Bitwarden
  • Dicio
  • Doodle
  • F-Droid
  • FeedMe (Not FOSS. Open to suggestions)
  • Firefox
  • FNG
  • InvizBox
  • Jerboa
  • Mastodon
  • Music Player GO
  • Obsidian
  • OpenLauncher
  • Organic Maps

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

Fennec, Bitwarden, Droid-ify, and Tutanota are my essentials I need for life.

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

Authenticator Pro. It's like Aegis but supports WearOS devices, so I can get my TOTP codes on my watch instead of having to get my phone out.

FairEmail. One of the best email clients I've used, across any platform. Highly customizable.

Syncthing for syncing photos to my home server.

Readrops for RSS - connects to my FreshRSS server.

Firefox, of course.

I use a few apps from the SimpleMobileTools suite. They aren't full FOSS, they have basic and pro versions where the basic version is GPL3 and the proprietary extended features cost a few bucks. The basic FOSS tools are still decent, if barebones.

The suite includes:

  • a calculator
  • a phone dialer
  • a music player
  • a calendar
  • a photo gallery (with basic editor)
  • an audio recorder
  • a flashlight
  • a clock
  • an app launcher
  • an SMS messenger
  • a camera
  • a keyboard
  • a note taker
  • a file manager
  • a contact book
  • a simple painting canvas

I use the gallery and file manager the most. Though admittedly I threw a couple bucks their way for the proprietary extensions. It's not FOSS, but if it was going to be proprietary, I think it's one of the fairest deals in software these days. Better than another bloody subscription model, or holding the ad-free experience hostage behind a paywall.

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.

No love for librera yet. That scroll mode for PDFs saves my life for technical documentation.

is there a foss alternative to niagara launcher?

[โ€“] airikr@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I would say KISS Launcher.

[โ€“] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I use olauncher which looks pretty similar, no icons tho

[โ€“] tungah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I switched from Niagara to KISS launcher and I'm really happy with it. Much better, IMO.
