Some of mine are grayjay, kotatsu, expenses, voyager, feeder, mull and syncthing
to name a few I like:
- Read You, brilliant RSS reader. Now syncs with Freshrss. Inspired by Reeder on iOS
- Voice, audiobook player. I use it in fact to listen to audio from youtube videos (downloaded with Newpipe). For audiobooks (and podcasts) I use
- Audiobookshelf (needs server)
- FUTO keyboard with decent on device voice recognition! (exists as a standalone)
- 8Vim, weird keyboard I really like
- Fairemail has been my trusty email client for years. Don’t be spooked by its many options, once accounts configured the UI doesnt show unecessary stuff IMO. Some unique and useful features.
But if you want something simpler there’s K9, now Thunderbird. Although I still experience the issue with emails not arriving on time with this newer version - KeepassDX, great password manager, good UI, keeps improving.
FUTO Keyboard isn’t open source.
You may distribute the software or any part of its source code only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.
isn’t that open source?
It’s not. Noncommercial limitatation makes it also not open source.
I also think they don’t allow forking.
not libre?
Thunderbird, Firefox, Element, Home Assistant, DAVx5, AntennaPod, Immich, NewPipe, Task.org, SyncThing, Tusky.
- Seal: Allows me to download YouTube videos, Instagram reels, etc. It’s a simple and pretty front end for yt-dlp.
- Fossify Calendar: Finally kicked Google Calendar to the curb. No fuss calendar app.
- AVNC: Allows me to remotely control my laptop from my phone. Requires installation of VNC software on the laptop (I’m using TightVNC).
- Binary Eye: Barcode/QR code scanner with history.
- Loop Habit Tracker: Helps me keep track of habits – eg. going to the gym X times a week.
- Island: Allows me to create a clone of app. Useful for apps that don’t support multi-accounts.
- Simple Time Tracker: I use it to keep track of how long I spend playing a game, since I like documenting the info for HowLongToBeat.com
Other than these, K9 Mail and NewPipe.

Grayjay ane newpipe are my go to for youtube. Im starting to prefer grayjay due to the automatic backup and being able to watch twitch, kick, odysee, YouTube and more in one app
Vanilla Music – the music player I use.
I was struggling to remember which I used, and then I remembered that Firefox (or Fennec, to be precise) is open source.
Also, Jerboa. Hi.
HeliBoard is also pretty good. As is Tusky.
Freebloks and Unciv for when I’m bored
TrackerControl for keeping my phone mostly ad and tracker free
Auxio for music, but I’m considering an alternative, I can’t make it ignore certain folders so a lot of received Whatsapp audio shows up on the playlist

Kvaesitso and Heliboard are my most used, since its just the homescreen and keyboard lol. For favorite I’d probably say Pipepipe, been watching a lot of YouTube and I’m sick of ads.
It sucks that Syncthing is discontinuing its android app
It would be up near the top of my list.
Damn i didnt know that, its mostly where i use it too :(
WHAT ??!!
How will I sync my password amnager database from now ?
There’s syncthing-fork that I hope will continue to be maintained (especially as they committed a guide on how to switch from the official app 2hrs ago). I’ve used it already before the depreciation of the official app and it’s working reliably.
It looks like Play Store releases are planned to be stopped, so it’s probably best to install it either directly from the GitHub releases (for this, Obtanium is also a great tool for finding and updating apps from lotta sources), or with F-Droid.
You (and especially the devs of syncthing-fork) are a life saver !
Termux + syncthing cli + tasker
But this is not a solution for those that you do family tech support for.
Thank you ! What is tasker ?
Ty !
Most used: k9 mail, Firefox, Voyager. Favorite: termux is awesome but I don’t use it much.
Added: Trail Sense is another great app that I don’t use all that much at the moment.
Great apps, i also use all of these.
- Catima: stores barcodes of membership cards, etc.
- Aegis: two factor auth app with backup options
- LocalSend: open source cross platform airdrop clone
koreader, tracker control
Also, they’re new but opentimelimit and unlockmaster for productivity
Never heard of this, ill check it out.
