What are the "app dock" apps on your phone? Are they FOSS? (reddthat.com)

Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS..

@drew_belloc @noodlejetski I don't have a dock either. I do have a favourites row though, and currently these are the pinned apps (arranged in no particular order):

  1. Calls by #GNOME & #Purism

  2. Chats (#Chatty) by Purism & GNOME - supports #SMS, #Matrix, #XMPP

  3. Contacts by GNOME

  4. #Firefox web browser by #Mozilla

  5. #SignalMessenger

  6. GNOME Settings

  7. #Phosh Mobile Settings

  8. Tweaks by #postmarketOS

  9. #Tuba (client for #Mastodon / #Fediverse)

  10. #Kasts by #KDE

  11. #DeltaChat ( #openstandards-based, #securityaudited, fast #e2ee chats over bloody #email!)

  12. Files / #Nautilus by GNOME

All #FreeSoftware /Libre, #OpenSource #FOSS / #FLOSS : )

Note: The home screen and the app drawer / search / overview is all one and the same.

Cool, i think i just got used to scroll for my apps, i normally know where they are so is a seamless experiance for me, but i like options like those, i just don't put anything on my dock because i like to have a clean home screen, both on my phone and on my desktop
