Here are some not mentioned in this thread yet.

Material Files - the best files app I’ve ever used! Clean, material design and has everything I need. It can even run an FTP server

victorz ,

I used that but it started to feel bloated after a while.

It’s my current FLOSS goto filemanager.

Is there another worth checking out?

fleet , (edited )

I’ve used mixplorer for ages, its been great.

Edit: nevermind, apparently its not open source.

victorz ,

I actually settled for Files, by Google. It’s doing what I need it to do. Official app… I dunno. I don’t know of a reason not to use it…

There’s a fork of Openboard that is trying to update it, but AFAIK, it’s not published anywhere yet: github.com/Helium314/openboard

LemmyHead ,

Audible doesn’t look very FOSSy to me

LemmyHead ,

My mistake, I meant Audile

enshu , to asklemmy in What Are Your Favorite FOSS Android Apps?

Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.

I know nothing about FOSS apps, where do I get them?

ptrckstr ,

You can use the f-droid store to find them. Its a play store alternative.

abbenm ,

F-Droid is the best starting point. It’s an app that is basically a Google Play style app store, but all the apps are FOSS.

f-droid.org

Ive been using droidify for the last 1-2years, it looks better than fdroid and you can easily add more repositories other than fdroid repository (like izzyonandroid).

(Kinda ironic that I sent you an fdroid link that has the droidify app.)

@covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Check out neostore or droid-ify on fdroid These are clients of fdroid but better

lemm.ee/post/14432845Hope he could rehost the whole instance somewhere else. I don’t have hope over other kerala communities either; it will get scattered. Anyways Who are you

    sorry, dumb question. how reliable is this? And, with this wapp modded installed, have any risk from wapp to ban me? And its possible turn on double check blue mark?

    sag ,
    @sag@lemy.lol avatar

    I don’t know how safe is this I really don’t care about ban. If they ban me then I have a excuse to not use whatsapp. You can turn on double check blue mark in Privacy Setting by Clicking on 3 dots.

    @sag@lemy.lol avatar

    I switched to MyInsta just before The_dise released the beta version of Instander because it was constantly being developed. Additionally, MyInsta is based on Instander and does not have encryption in its source code. So, you can use any APK editor to see it.

    Great list! One suggestion: Try Helium’s OpenBoard fork for keyboard. It has tons of features like full Material You theming, glide typing, multilingual language support as well as autocorrect and suggestion support. I’ve been waiting for autocorrect to be added in FlorisBoard for more than an year now.

    Aasikki , to asklemmy in What Are Your Favorite FOSS Android Apps?

    I honestly don’t use that much foss on my Android phone, but DVD has to be my favourite. I like sharing memes as videos instead of links in chat apps and it lets me download videos from just about any app or site by just sharing the link to the DVD app. It uses yt-dl in the background, so any site supported by that should work.

    Aasikki ,

    I also constantly use Bitwarden, Aegis and Home Assistant along with a couple less often used ones. Those three felt so obvious to me that I didn’t feel like picking them as my favourite :)

    If you use Organic Maps you may be interested in streetcomplete.app to help fill out the map

    nossaquesapao ,

    There’s also another one called every door.

    amanneedsamaid ,

    Best foss maps app imo.

    Crotaro ,

    Wow thanks, I recently installed OsmAnd~ and found it kind of clunky to have to actively look for, and remember to fill in, missing map data.

    This gets me to walk new dog walk routes, too!

    HotsauceHurricane ,

    This makes me wish i used an android.

    @moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    All of these list are great as we discover new apps each time.

    But, I would suggest to write what is the app about.

    wuphysics87 OP ,

    That’s a good point. Originally, I wanted to get a list without writing too much. I’m going to update my phone with some of the suggestions. I’ll update my list with additional explanations.

    Obsidian is Open Source? I switched to Logseq because it wasnt open source. A friend wasnt even allowed to install it on his Work PC becauze Obsidian wants 50€ per Year when not used at home privately.

    linearchaos ,
    @linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

    It is absolutely not open source, it is source available. You can view all the JavaScript source from inside the app in the development console. But that doesn’t mean that you have license to reuse the source, or the app for that matter.

    ReakDuck ,

    Ah ok, well, at least somethinf

    Tja ,

    A developer wanted to earn money for software used commercially? Oh, the humanity!

    ReakDuck ,

    The topic is about FOSS

    Tja ,

    Plenty of FOSS projects have commercial licenses. Pfsense, MongoDB, TrueNAS, Elastic, Portainer, Proxmox, Docker…

    Just gonna add, if we are on this topic, see boringcactus’s blog post - Not “Any purpose”.

    note that ze use some strong language on their blog.

    Tja ,

    This is absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing. The “Why The Fuck Would You Even Do That Holy Shit Public License” made me laugh out loud. Good stuff, and I agree 100%.

    Newpipe, for watching youtube videos without ads or tracking

    Openboard keyboard for the one feature I can never be without again: moving the cursor by swiping left or right on the spacebar, it’s a godsend for selecting stuff with my wide fingers

    fmstrat , to asklemmy in What Are Your Favorite FOSS Android Apps?

    We have similar lists, so some considerations:

    • Helium314 fork of OpenBoard for keyboard
    • Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I’m blanking on the name of)
    • Matrix with a Signal bridge so you can use tablets and other devices with Element, which has a wider range of devices
    • NeoLauncher is like OL, but with more configuration
    • Thunder for Lemmy. Great client, and only one with 2 column tablet support
    Hate ,
    • Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I’m blanking on the name of)

    github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery

    Simple Gallery was bought by ZipoApps and will be soon flooded with ads and tracking garbage, FossifyOrg forked the whole simple mobile tools suite, and will continue development independently of ZipoApps

    fmstrat ,

    Thank you, was losing my mind trying to remember the URL. Of course I now recall its in my history from when I edited my post of a hard fork as a backup.
