Termux for ssh, scripting and other terminal goodness, Antennapod for podcasts, NewPipe for Youtube, Fennec for web browsing with extension support, Fedilab for Mastodon, Mupdf for a no-nonsense PDF viewer.
Mupdf would be much more usable if it had an ability to copy text, and a recents page to quickly open documents.
Syncthing. I frequently ROM my phone, and the first app I always grab is Syncthing.
Picking one favorite is hard, but probably SDR++. No other app for SDR gets even close to this. It’s pretty much a full desktop experience. I just wish there were more drivers so I could use it with SDRPlay RSP1 that I have and not just RTL-SDR.
But hey it’s open-source. My bad I can’t program.
Can’t pick favorite.
I just discovered Kvaesitso because of this and I’m in love lol. Thank you!
Truly awesome list. And it is regularly updated. Kudos to the developer!
That is a hard question for sure. I think Thunder, Tusky, and AntennaPod are my favorites, but i can’t choose just one out of them.
AntennaPod is a godsend. Powerful, very performant and with a very clean UI.
Aegis 2fa, better than what most of closed source app offers.
For me it’s gotta be immich, it replicates Google photos SO well and it’s all local and self hosted, absolutely floored by how great it is
For browsing my photos on my device I use Aves which is also a great app, especially since it’s the only app I’ve ever found that handles Sony burst format properly
Oh wow thanks for this! I’ve been trying to find a viable alternative to Google photos a my wife and I get space anxiety both on our phones and our cloud storage. This looks great.
KeepassDX. The best password manager IMHO. It supports saving passwords, ability to open them with biometrics and is seamless and offline. I have been using it since 2019. Redreader for reddit provides the best offline reddit experience. Also using it since 2019. Personaldnsfilter, pretty much a fire and forget app. No setup required at all. These are some of my favorite apps and I have more.
I really like the keyboard feature so you don’t need to copy paste or auto fill.
Obtainium. Such an awesome peace of software for tracking app updates. Many sources available. Search through them. Notifications about updates. Just. Too. Good. ❤️
Can you get Obtainium to scan a simple HTML page full of links to APKs and extract the latest versions of each APK in the page? It seems to work fine on Git repos, but I can’t get it to watch simple pages listing APKs.
From GitHub description. “Any other URL that returns an HTML page with links to APK files (if multiple, the last file alphabetically is picked)”. I assume yes.
Yeah but my issue is that it doesn’t work :) I point it to a simple HTML page listing only links to APK files in it (namely, the Aurora Store nightlies) and the only thing is does is show a black bar for a couple of seconds and nothing happens.
Flaw. I think you should create a bug on GitHub.
I probably should, but the truth is, the app doesn’t interest me enough to bother. I wanted to use it to automatically track Aurora Store nightly builds for when the stable version gets broken by Google, as Google regularly does. But when it happens, all I have to do is open a link bookmarked in my browser.
I figured I’d ask here to figure out if I missed some configuration or something. If it’s a bug, I’ll just uninstall the thing and forget about it.
👌🙂
Joplin for End-to-End Encrypted markdown-based note-taking.
Kvaesito launcher. I was using Niagara before because most open source launchers just felt dated, but this one looks modern and feels good to use. It’s not very customizable but it works for me
Kvaesito launcher
also try out kiss launcher
Nekobox because without it i can’t connect to the internet:)
Tachiyomi. TachiyomiSY to be exact.
For all not knowing what the app is, its a (imo the best) manga reading app on android.
The SY fork has some features for more adult centered sites.
I discovered Tachiyomi the other day on Lemmy and absolutely love it. No way I can ever go back to using bookmarks on my mobile browser.
All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?
