I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The ones in my scope thus far are:

• Table Habit
• Kudoku
• Loop Habit Tracker
• Habo
• and "Habits"

TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker

Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this:

• Network (1976)
• Lone Star (1996)
• Devils (1971)
• The Seventh Seal (1957)
• ... Many more films

But how do you rank these?

You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists.

A much easier method is to use pairwise comparisons, which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best.

After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you.

Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced Glicko rating system, to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking.

Features

• Import your existing lists quickly.
• Uses the advanced Glicko rating system.

I want to backup some apps and app data in a zip file and be able to restore it into a device.

It's okay if I have to use something like shizuku to enable backups.

I say wiki as a point of reference, as it's the thing I'm most used to for organizing information, but anything that lets me create links on specific words, leading me to a different page/display can work.

I prefer FOSS, but anything that's a free download on the play store is fair game, TrackerControl should manage to block annoying ads.

Heya, Looking for an app to track tasks I need/want to do and then immediately forget about. I've tried diary-apps but those don't really work

So I'm looking for a private Kanban/task organizer, preferably f-droid or Github and offline. I have a public Nextcloud account, if that helps, but don't really need this to be cloud-dependant.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to redirect youtube links to NewPipe or similar either systemwide or at last when the link opens in Firefox?

I understand the free apps need ads, but I'd rather not watch that video than watching TWO video ads.

Not an app but a JVM library. There is a library that scrapes youtube https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor but it's docs are hard to understand and it needs configuration to use it.

So I made a wrapper library called NewValve, which makes it a lot easier to use it in your Android or Java/Kotlin apps.

What's new in v5.4:

• Link mobile and desktop apps via secure quantum-resistant protocol.
  • ⚡️ Quick start - how to use it.
  • How does it work?
  • 🤖 Connecting to remote CLI.
• Better groups.
  • Faster to join and more reliable.
  • New group features:
    • create groups with incognito profile,
    • block group members to reduce noise,
    • prohibit files and media in a group.
• Better calls: faster to connect, with screen sharing on desktop.

There are many other improvements and fixes in this release:

• profile names now allow spaces.
• when you delete contacts, they are optionally notified.
• previously used and your own SimpleX links are recognized by the app.
• and more - see the release notes.

Hi guys,

Can you suggest me an Android Dashcam App.

I know I know, I'd buy seperate hardware Dashcam but until I do so please recommend me an app so that I can utilize my Phone's Camera and Mic.

I love FOSS but any app will do.

Thanks.

Decided to write about pretty much all the apps I use on my device. Most of them are free and open source too :P

Its there any app that let me add/select webstrips and keeps track what I've read and left off?

The two apps in question are called Signal Plus Messenger and FlyGram. The former was active on the Play Store for over nine months and downloaded roughly 100 times before Google took it down. FlyGram was created by the same group, and was removed back in 2021. However, both apps remain available on third-party websites and via the Samsung app store.

I'm looking for an app for household chores. The main purpose is for my kids, but I would like something that can also be used by the whole family to keep up on housework when life gets busy.

The problem I've had so far is, anything I've found that would work for us requires a subscription. I'm all for paying for an app, but I just can't afford another monthly bill right now, no matter how small

Bonus points if the app has a "points" system I could convert to a weekly allowance

i want to make sure to not forget that drunk-dialing or texting someone late at night might be a bad idea.

some substances make me a bit to chatty, lol.

just want to make sure i postpone texting until i'm sober again, without blocking texting all together.

Is there any Good alternative for Forest? I want a App to reward me for not using my phone.

Yo so I haven't updated the app for a long time, I just opened the app and I'm still getting daily content. Is this a mistake? Lol

I run LineageOS.

It seems that around July 15th, the repo for Barinsta, the FOSS instagram frontend that was abandoned about 1-2 years ago has been taken down.

The repo was hosted on codeberg, after the original author took the github repo down. The second maintainer moved the repo to codeberg, but it seems little was done to maintain it. The second maintainer seems to have deleted previous blog posts about barinsta as well.

I have the repo backed up locally (hence why I noticed), but it does not work in its current state.

Its probably not worth using instagram anyways

Any recommendations for apps with a proper tablet UI?
