Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps

Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store^[1]^
Termius -> ConnectBot^[2]^
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge^[3]^
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail
YouTube -> LibreTube
Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News^[4]^
Google Drive -> Nextcloud^[4]^
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes^[4]^
Spotify -> SubTune^[4]^

^1^- You need a Google account.
^2^ - The UX is not as good as Termius.
^3^ - The UI looks like garbage, but does it's job.
^4^ - You need to selfhost a server.

Instead of using Gmaps. You can try

  1. Organic Maps (Simple and clean app that just works)
  2. OsmAnd (Full of great features but it may be too much for you). Supports realtime map update in pro version or the fdroid version.
  3. Magic Earth but i think it is not foss
  4. Mapy.cz uses Openstreetmap but it also does not seem to be foss. But the map is updated in real time.

GmapsWV when you have no other choice

This, in conjunction with OrganicMaps/Osmand is god.
