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

Obtainium is pretty good

• Moshidon: letting me communicate with people on Mastodon

• 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

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

Anyone uses InnerTune?

THANK YOU for antennapod!!! What an incredibly beautiful app, I’m so impressed!!

Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases

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.

Keyboard:

• AnySoftKeyboard good all around keyboard, good language support, decent though messy customizability
• Unexpected keyboard more specialized, provides easy access to app (printable) ASCII characters and some others, allrght customizability
• 8Vim Cool factor, great customizability, decent language support but you need to learn it

Games:

• Pirate Solitare nothing much but I’ve been playing it a lot lately
• Simon Tathman’s Puzzle Collection a cross platform puzzle collection, has a lot of different puzzles in a uniform style
• Antimine minesweeper with nice ui

System:

• RethinkDNS: DoH provider and firewall Easy to use, especially nice for those non FOSS apps you need to have to maintain a social life, not that powerful though
• Obtainium: FOSS app downloader Downloads apps from releases or equivalent, therefore can have faster updates than fdroid, but no discovery, aside from search on some platforms
• ffupdater: FOSS browser downloader Like obtainium, but for browsers (mostly) and has list of browsers
• Droid-ify: fdroid client better ui than the default app, comes with a list of repos
• Shizuku: ADB shell api not useful if you have root (see SUI, which is the root implementation for the same api, though shizuku will also work I think), but can give a bit more access if you don’t supports wireless debugging on A12+
• Neolauncher: launcher nice ui but nothing special
• SD Maid SE: storage cleaner okish ui, doesn’t stop me from having 302 (not including system) apps on my device. Yes I have a problem
• Package manager: app manager Shizuku support, powerful, though limited if you don’t have root
• Inure: app manager [freemium (8$), but GPL licensed?] pretty must like Package manager but with amazing ui

Media:

• LibreTube: Piped (youtube) client Nice ui, no ads, sponsor block support, kinda unstable
• Innertube: YouTube music client doesn’t use piped/invidious, no ads, nice ui
• Tusky: mastodon client nice ui, quite stable, multiuser support
• Jerboa: lemmy client ok ui, up to date with lemmy updates
• Liftoff: lemmy client nicer ui then Jerboa but doesn’t work since .15 (?) and had issues with rendering markdown properly
• LibreTorrent bitTorrent client for downloading all those isos and public domain works, nice ui

Misc:

• Mull: ff based browser not much to say, “security oriented and deblobbed”, upstreams some features from Tor
• Calculator++: A scientific calculator A lot of functionality while remaining easy to use
• RPNcalc: A Reverse Polish Notation calculator best RPN calculator I’ve found on fdroid, less powerful than Calculator++, but RPN based calculators are more efficient^[1]^
• Simple Apps: suit of apps providing basic functionality great ui and customizability, I don’t use simple keyboard, simple launcher/drawer however
• OpenCamera: a camera app advanced features

Just the apps I thought of, as I, as mentioned in the SD Maid entry, have a lot of apps installed :P
