Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can't just build/edit an app.

For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/

It's not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can't connect to the internet so there's no way anyone can get my health info.

Wow I checked out Breezy and it seems it's exactly what I have been looking for in a weather app. I've been using Clima for some time now but it was never really a good fit for me. Thanks for the recommendation.
