Aegis 2fa, better than what most of closed source app offers.
All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?
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.
👌🙂
Syncthing. I frequently ROM my phone, and the first app I always grab is Syncthing.
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!
-
Firefox Beta, keeping the web free on mobile. Really wish they’d make a tablet version though
-
Joplin for notes
-
K-9 mail for ad-free email with a unified inbox
-
Syncthing to never have to email something to myself again (and sync Joplin database)
-
Jellyfin to watch movies on my home server
-
Moshidon for Mastodon
-
Pocket Casts for podcasts
-
Did I Take My Medication? for pill reminders –
-
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.
I love AntennaPod and LibreTube.
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.
Especially when pairing it with the Panels App
KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.
You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.
Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.
Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.
I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.
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.
Joplin for End-to-End Encrypted markdown-based note-taking.
F-droid
GNU Coreutils. Without it pioneering the way, nothing else in this thread would’ve been likely to exist.
