Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I’ve been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

…tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

🏔️ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! 🤩

    Feature request: Describe each app. At least what it does (beyond just the category)

      I tried to have this list as concise as possible. Probably it shouldn’t even scale vertically - better horizontally, preferably with responsive design. However, how would you like it implemented? Every so often, I add necessary comments:

      Like this

      See Trackers for example.

      So in the end I just wanted to create a list that if someone is interested in some app, he can click links and read about this app in Source Code repo or F-Droid. Yet, I was thinking of maybe F-Droid information dynamically scrapped into static site with “approved” apps but idk.

        Those comments in the tracker section are good, just a one line summary kind of thing for all of them would be a nice improvement.
        I’m not asking for full F-Droid information (but if you want to include it, maybe put it in a tap-to-show sliding thing (sorry, I don’t do web dev) )

          Yeah but sometimes it is hard but good idea. :) Me neither haha that’s why I do MarkDown

            Github accepts the details HTML tag as part of Markdown. You could use that to put there a description and it would only be visible if you expand it.

              Yeah, I know that, but maybe it’s my personal preference that I try to use pure MarkDown when HTML is unclean with a mix of it. You probably meant something like here:

              <details open="open">
                <summary>Table of Contents</summary>
                <ol>
                  <li><a href="#installing">Installing</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#shortcuts">Shortcuts</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#features">Features</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#dependencies">Dependencies</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#usage">Usage</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#building">Building</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#translating">Translating</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#supported-languages">Supported Languages</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#license">License</a></li>
                </ol>
              </details>

                Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. But I get that you want to avoid HTML if possible.
                If you find a pure markdown alternative, let me know, I was looking at options a while back for a repo and settled on the HTML tag.

                  I was thinking about it but it generates many lines when MarkDown is simple.

                  There is no alternative as far I know due to MarkDown renderer.

                  Same for setting size for images or centering something.

      Unforutunately by having work, college, hobbies and many more I don’t have much time that’s why I look for people like you to point that out. :) That app was added long time ago. Sad to see being abandoned.

      EDIT: Replace QKSMS with QUIK SMS

    Awesome list! Found some apps I’m interested in from the list, will definitely check them out. Thank you for compiling this!
