I wouldn’t watch YouTube if it wasn’t for Newpipe.

Aves libre is the best Foss app I’ve used for managing a picture library.

learned about Organic Maps recently and its a really nice (albeit very simple, for now) open street maps client for GPS navigation. The interface is super nice

Material files is by far my favorite file browser app, I’ve been using it since before I paid much attention to foss vs proprietary

Droidify is my fav f-droid client

• Termux is my lifeline to my main Emacs session. Besides ssh and small scripts I also run a couple of personalized services in it that I’ve written in Go.
• Antennapod listened to thousands of hours of podcasts in it
• Fedilab is my favorite mobile Mastodon client. I also use Jerboa for Lemmy but it’s not quite at the favorite app level yet
• KeyMapper is essential for me, especially when managing a physical keyboard
• NewPipe for youtube
• Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike dungeon crawler
• MuPDF sensible PDF viewer

Also, RIP RedReader I know it still works but I’ve moved on from reddit.

• Firefox
• KeePassDX (IMO, better than Bitwarden)
• Droidify (F-Droid client)
• mpv (Media player)
• NewPipe (YouTube client)
• Shelter (isolate/clone apps, create separate work profile)
• WiFiAnalyzer

• Seal - this is a YouTube downloader. I love this for extracting audio from videos to listen as a podcast, quick and easy.
• URLCheck - this when set as a default browser will intercept links to remove trackers, check them against known phishing links, redirect links etc etc. Probably my favourite app!
• Transistor - radio app, just simple and works can’t beat it.
• Birday - birthday manager so you can check and see who’s birthdays are coming up.
• Tasks.org - I love this task manager, took a bit of setting up how I like but it works great. Ticktick became really bloated and sluggish so I switched.

Firefox, Termux, VLC, Jerboa, LiftOff, PPSSPP

Nothing to add in terms of lists because I’ve only just gotten into FOSS. I already use DuckDuckGo to block the insane amount of tracking on the Pixel7a I bought but still disturbed by all the forced google apps. So working my way through this list replacing what I can.

Thanks to all the people offering their suggestions and to OP for creating this convo! Freedom (from excessive tracking) is on the way.

Bitwarden Proton mail

• Joplin - multiplatform notes
• Feeder - RSS feed reader
• Aves Libre - image gallery
• OctoDroid - GitHub manager/viewer
• MediLog - health metrics tracker

Thanks for this great discussion question! I’d just flag that we’d generally ask that submitters also include some information of their own to to jumpstart the conversations. So I’d also ask you, what are your favourite FOSS apps and why? Feel free to edit your post and include in the description!

Neo, Droidify, SchildiChat, Jerboa.

• App Manager - An app manager with super powers! With this app I can keep track off my apps permissions, operations, launch activities, freeze or uninstall bloatware. Although, my main reason to use this is the built-in apk/apks installer that shows the components, trackers, and differences between versions when updating an app. It has even more features I can’t say. Truly amazing.
• Aves - Best gallery app on Android. I love the mosaic view!
• KDE Connect - Connect your Android with you PC. Can share files, sync clipboard, control media etc.
• RethinkDNS - Best DNS/Firewall app I’ve ever used. Doesn’t consume lot battery and it’s super configurable.
• URLCheck - I can’t live without it. With this app I can check, modify, unshorten and remove tracking elements from links, and even select the app you want to open that link with - Really nice when using work profile.

• fennec (browser)
• forkgram (telegram fork)
• quillpad (note app)
• simple keyboard
• Aegis (2fa)
• Vlc
