Red Moon. Blue light filter for screen. Makes it less hurting for eyes to use phone at night, or generally in dark.

OrganicMaps or CoMaps Fast beautiful offline Maps, search, wiki and routing

[-] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

CoMaps is the fork of Organic Maps as it was found that Organic Maps Devs were using the app in ways not intended. Mostly due to privacy, transparency and for profit issues.

Many of the apps I use have already been mentioned so I thought I'd plug Tessel.

Tessel is a colorful tile placement game. Place tiles with matching colors to make shapes and fill the board. The larger the shape, the higher the points.

Very, very nice music app for those with a local library.

Markor - A markdown/text editor app. It is frankly not the best in terms of design, but it does have quite a few neat features.

Tempus: An open source and lightweight music client for subsonic.

It's a fork of Tempo.

RadarWeather — Watch the weather without location tracking.

[-] sychthys@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Looking at the last change notes, the Dev stated that they're no longer maintaining the app due to openweathermap now requiring credit card info. Looks like they suggested using Cirrus instead.

HeliBoard, don't want google to get everything I type on their keyboard. KeePassDX - offline password manager

BinaryEye to create, scan and store QR Codes

Metrolist!

An incredible app for music listening on YouTube(no video rendering).

Of course no ads and background playing like a lot of other apps, but honestly this one has a fantastic ui and is above a lot of other apps. I seriously recommend it.

Onlyoffice. Despite the controversies with this one, most people use big tech apps sometimes full of ads for simple document editing. Also, onlyoffice is so ligthweight in comparison, that it runs nice even on very low end phones

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dnsfilter.android/ personalDNSfilter. DNS proxy filter. You can use your favorite block lists to block ads and trackers in a browser but also in most any other app. You can add your own rules and it doesn't need root.

rquickshare This is not an app for the phone because it uses the app you already have by default (nearby share/quick share), it enables you to use it with your Mac or Linux computer on the same lan so you can share your clipboard and files. I like it a lot.
