We have similar lists, so some considerations:

  • Helium314 fork of OpenBoard for keyboard
  • Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I'm blanking on the name of)
  • Matrix with a Signal bridge so you can use tablets and other devices with Element, which has a wider range of devices
  • NeoLauncher is like OL, but with more configuration
  • Thunder for Lemmy. Great client, and only one with 2 column tablet support

Here are some not mentioned in this thread yet.

[–] sibloure@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Nextcloud News I like for RSS since it fetches the full text article. Obtainium lkke others mentioned is a must have for me.

[–] thurstylark@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection includes a game very similar to nonocross, as well as about 40 other puzzle games you might also like.

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

Seriously guys, no one saying Nextcloud?

  • The main app for photo backup.
  • Nextcloud Notes for well, notes you can also use from the desktop.
  • NC Passwords for well, passwords
  • Phonetrack to record your phone to Nextcloud Maps.
  • Deck for the Kanban.

I switched to Immich for photo backup/management. It's better by miles.

2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Ente Auth is nice for OTPs, it looks nice and I like that it shows the next code in case it's about to switch.

Neo Store for browsing fdroid

Moshidon for Mastodon

OpenBoard + predictive text binary

[–] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Obtainium is pretty good

[–] wason@lemmy.run 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's FNG? Fluid navigation gestures? Is that FOSS? Can you share a link to the codebase? Can't find it

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It's one of my favorites. It lets you set swipe zones that perform actions or open apps on the left roght and bottom edges. You can put up to 4 on each edge with long and short swipes doubling them, so you can have up to 24! It's not maintained any more, but you can find a .apk and install it manually

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.

Here's a few I enjoy using that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

  • Phonograph Plus: elegant music player using Material UI design
  • Etar +ICSΒ² : Etar is a nice-looking calendar app that uses Material UI design, and ICSΒ² enables me to sync the Holiday Calendars provided on Thunderbird.net.
  • Etar+ DAVxΒ² + NextCloud : enables syncing my local Etar calendar(s) with any NextCloud instance (using CalDAV). DAVxΒ² also allows for syncing my Android contacts to NextCloud (using CardDAV)
  • AnySoft Keyboard: extremely customizable, varied keyboard layouts, for those who want all punctuation marks and quote signs built-in.
  • Irregular Expressions: alternative keyboard for goofing around with unicode textstyles (πŸ…’πŸ…˜πŸ…‘πŸ…’πŸ…›πŸ…”πŸ…’, 𝕺𝖑𝖉 π•°π–“π–Œπ–‘π–Žπ–˜π– 𝕭𝖔𝖑𝖉, οΌ₯ο½˜ο½”ο½’ο½ wide, etc.)
  • Simple Notes : minimalist "note to self" memos.
[–] moon@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 years ago

Fennec, Bitwarden, Droid-ify, and Tutanota are my essentials I need for life.

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Authenticator Pro. It's like Aegis but supports WearOS devices, so I can get my TOTP codes on my watch instead of having to get my phone out.

FairEmail. One of the best email clients I've used, across any platform. Highly customizable.

Syncthing for syncing photos to my home server.

Readrops for RSS - connects to my FreshRSS server.

Firefox, of course.
