      I was very surprised when I came upon this comment. My first thought was when did I write this

        Pretty similar names indeed. I did make an account for myself here on Beehaw but I clearly messed up the password. I might send a message to someone to sort that out.

        So, I cannot (read: not allowed to) say exactly what I am using (it is a prototype Android device) but it isn’t rooted at all. So, maybe it is 70% FOSS. I used ADB to remove and disable everything Google I could (I left keyboard, dialer, contacts, webview) and everything I use comes from F-Droid.

    I recently switched to KISS launcher; it’s a bit unorthodox but I like it a lot now that I’m used to it. AntennaPod is good for podcasting too

    Almost everything what I use is already listed here (Termux, NewPipe, Joplin, etc), so, here’s a few small apps that no one has mentioned yet:

    ViMusic - a tiny accountless app to stream music from YouTube music.

    HTTP Shortcuts - an app that allows you to create home screen shortcuts that execute arbitrary http requests, it supports JavaScript, so, you can write even something pretty complicated.

    an open source notes app of course, an opensource keyboard app, there are a lot of good things in those categories. also, back when i read ebooks on my phone i found a really good app called comfort reader that automatically reads books for you and stuff, and there are also other great reading apps

    Diskusage

    Analyser and display of phone storage space. Extremely useful for me as I tend to take a lot of stuff with me everywhere.

    Many of my favourite apps are already listed here, so I won’t repeat them

    My most useful is probably ntfy & my matrix client, Element. I self-host ntfy & a matrix dendrite server with some bridges. I am able to receive notifications from all of my chats without Google services installed, as well as notifications from Tusky thanks to Element and Tusky’s support for UnifiedPush.

      I’ve been looking for something like this. Looks like I have some reading to do.

    • Feeder: a pretty rss reader
    • Thumbkey: A keybord with a vastly different layout designed for ergonomy. I’m realy happy about this one because the only atlernative was closed source.
    • syncthings-fork to backup my files
    • SD contacts on fdroid to export my contacts on change in a folder for syncthings to backup. ( I changed the code of this one to use only one file instead of several ones)
    • kde-connect: allows sharing notifications, files, and much more between your phone and pc
    • libretube: a youtube piped client

    Right now, Infinity for Reddit, but with the Reddit API debacle, I guess it’s either Jerboa for Lemmy or Firefox Focus.

    Favorite would probably be either Material Files file explorer or K9 or Proton Mail for email.
