Ooh, cute app, thanks :3
NetGuard Pro - Allows you to see and control traffic from all apps, so you can prevent data flows to 3rd party hosts like the ones from Google or Facebook. The pro edition is paid and necessary, but it's all open source, just not gratis
Aegis Authenticator - open source 2FA authenticator
LibreTube - alternative, privacy-respecting, open source YouTube frontend using the Piped API
Oooh, I will check out Aegis and LibreTube, thanks :3
Aegis is fantastic
Merlin - It's a birding app and can identify birds by picture or by their song.
Oh how cool though, I didn't realize they had anything out there that can identify birds by song like that. Is it pretty accurate?
I use BirdNET, I had more luck identifying birds by song than with Merlin. But both are impressive.
Its really good in North America given that it is from Cornell. Gets probably a bird or two wrong out of hundreds
When I'm in India, its a kinda of a swing and a miss, but they're constantly improving it.
I've found auditory ID quite reliable, photo ID is pretty good and questionnaire ID not very.
Moshidon for a Mastodon client
Droid-ify as a much better fdroid client
Another Notes to plan world domination
InnerTune as a great YouTube music ripping app
Feeder for RSS feeds
Xtra as a Twitch client
Tutanota for email/contacts/calendar
Fennec (or Mull) for a demozilla'd stable Firefox with all tracking/analytics/proprietary stuff removed
Mostly stock AOSP apps from my custom GrapheneOS rom.
Every one of those apps are on fdroid, except the built in stock apps obviously
YouTube ReVanced - YouTube with adblocking, SponsorBlock, and Return YouTube Dislike built-in. There is also ReVanced for YT Music.
NetGuard - Firewall that doesn't need root. Works on system apps too so you can help curb the amount of spying done by system apps and apps that don't need an internet connection to function.
Connect - Most functional Lemmy app I could find (and I literally tried them all). Still not as smooth of an experience as Relay, but /u/DBrady has announced no plans to port it to Lemmy so Connect will have to do.
Stremio - Any show or movie you want from any streaming platform (Netflix, Hulu/D+, HBO, Apple TV, etc.), all in one place. The app runs on TVs too. Requires plugins to work, but costs as little as $3/mo or even free, depending on what plugins you use. You'll never need to subscribe to any other streaming platform.
Splitwise - Easily split bills with your SO/roommate(s). Stop arguing over expenses.
Google Rewards - Answer surveys, get Google Play credit. Paid apps are now free!
I've also tried all the Lemmy apps I could find, and must say I'm still the most fond of Voyager. Almost every single time I launch, there's a new update, and new features are showing up extremely fast. Now that there's customizable swipe gestures for all use cases, it's become so awesome to use. I even had an issue with comments getting deleted if I swiped too far while composing, opened a ticket on GitHub, and dev had it fixed within a day. They've just started submitting app versions to to both the Apple and Android store, if you don't want to use the web app.
I second Google Rewards, I also haven't paid for an app for quite some time now. A small note - if it asks if you've visited a specific store recently, the reward is a lot bigger if you say yes, say you bought something, and how you paid. Even if you didn't 😁 There's always (at least) one plausible option, a store you were near, and then a few that look to be fillers. I personally only pick the plausible ones, just in case it's some sort of test. They also rolled out uploading receipts where I'm located recently, and must admit I don't mind Google knowing what I purchased at whatever supermarket.
My problem with Voyager is that it's a web app. It's extremely laggy/unresponsive and the keyboard doesn't work. Firefox doesn't play nice with web apps and I refuse to use any other mobile browser cause I need UBlock Origin and NoScript.
Sync for Lemmy will be available soon. It's much nicer than Connect.
Are you me, I have every single app on this list.
KDE Connect
"Shared clipboard: copy and paste between your devices."
What the what?!? That's so cool!
+1 for Tachiyomi.
Listing only things that haven't been listed
personalDNSfilter
Now that's a great idea. I've been using NextDNS which works quite well and I stay in its free usage cap, but still being self-reliant is better. I'll check that one out.
moonlight-android - opensource android application to connect to your NVIDIA gamestream functionality provided by most modern NVIDIA graphic cards
I use it often for streaming my computer from my bed to play tactic/mouse heavy games, but latency wise it's very good if using hardware encoding. Less friction than a parsec and/or steam link setup.
Additionally (though I haven't tried it) there is a server software to emulate the NVIDIA(tm) gamestream functionality for AMD/Intel/etc, giving you an open source and low friction way to setup remote game streaming and/or desktop use https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine
If you absolutely must get something from Google Play, I suggest Aurora Store, which acts as an alternative frontend for Google Play, so you don't have to have GApps installed.
If you have use for command line programs, Termux, a terminal emulator, is a great option, and it also works with root.
For reading eBooks, I also have a recommendation, Librera Reader (but I'll check the OP's recommendation too).
Material Files and Simple File Manager are great file browsing tools. But if you need a file browser for root specifically, I recommend Material Files specifically.
Good list, but termux isn't a terminal emulator. It's so much more. It's like a virtual machine running cli linux with it's own repos and all. You can have python, gcc, vim, emacs, zsh... you name it. As long as it is tui, it is probably on termux!
Torque. It allows you to connect to your car's OBD2 port via a cheap Bluetooth adapter. From the app, you can read and clear diagnostic codes, setup custom gauges, and log data. It was very helpful when my alternator was dying and when my car was overheating. I don't have voltage or coolant temp gauges.
jtx board - Journals, notes, tasks
OpenTracks - Sports tracker
Öffi - Public transport navigator
ViMusic - Listen to music from YouTube
Plus one to ViMusic. High quality music with a beautiful interface and customisable buffer for music you heard previously. What's there not to like?
jtx board seems nice.. I will check it out, thanks :3
Since you clearly have an eink android device, what other eink-friendly apps do you recommend? Would love to hear of any.
I've started using LibreTube, its a lot like NewPipe, but I much prefer the UI. Check it out! (Its in F-Droid, of course)
Some I haven't seen listed yet:
I stopped using Nova Launcher when it was aquired by an analytics company, since launchers usually have access to a lot of permissions, and I don't trust a company dealing in analytics to operate in good faith with that access. I have used Lawnchair 2 and recently switched over to Neo Launcher.
List made using List My Apps
Joplin is one of the most important apps I use daily on my Android phone. The desktop version for Linux, an Appimage, synchronizes with the shared database used by the Android app. One can use common cloud services or pay a small fee (now about 18 euros/year) for a specific cloud synchronization service (1Gb).
Last.fm to track my listening habits, pretty entertaining
X-plore file manager.
Local, SD card, FTP, SFTP, FTPS, DLNA, Dropbox, Google Drive, and about a dozen other cloud storages all in the same place with multiple windows you can switch between so you can easily open two folders in wildly different locations and move files between them as if it was all one big filesystem.
Also let's you host FTP or a webapp from your phone for transfers between other lan devices.
Listing the ones that haven't been listed
AIMP - best local audio player Stuff - good simple to-do widget Hyperlocal Weather - good for cloud cover, not much else Proton VPN & Proton Mail - VPN is the best free one, mail is secure and well made
Revanced, it's the successor to vanced and just as good. I tried newpipe but I didn't like that I couldn't log in among other issues.
DraStic. I like playing older pokemon game roms on it.
Kanji tree, a great way to practice kanji.
Island, let's me use different accounts on apps that don't allow account switching. For example, it lets me access both my regular amazon account for kindle and my Japanese account that I use to buy manga and books in Japanese occasionally, without having to log in and out all the time. It basically clones apps and let's you open the clone version as a separate app, so you can have the same app open twice with different accounts.
AI enlarger. Just an app that does a good job enlarging images. I usually use it for art so idk how good it is for photos, but I imagine it's pretty good. It does an amazing job with art. Better than most other image enlarging programs or apps I've tried, except for one paid one that I tested with the free points you get for signing up, which was still about the same in quality.
Kiwi browser, works like chrome but let's you use extensions on mobile. I usually prefer Firefox but there are some sites or activities where I really want to be able to use certain extensions and Firefox doesn't have the ability to use the equivalents on the mobile browser. I think Kiwi provides privacy options that help with chrome's privacy issues though, but don't quote me on that.
