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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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
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.
I use a few apps from the SimpleMobileTools suite. They aren’t full FOSS, they have basic and pro versions where the basic version is GPL3 and the proprietary extended features cost a few bucks. The basic FOSS tools are still decent, if barebones.
The suite includes:
a calculator
a phone dialer
a music player
a calendar
a photo gallery (with basic editor)
an audio recorder
a flashlight
a clock
an app launcher
an SMS messenger
a camera
a keyboard
a note taker
a file manager
a contact book
a simple painting canvas
I use the gallery and file manager the most. Though admittedly I threw a couple bucks their way for the proprietary extensions. It’s not FOSS, but if it was going to be proprietary, I think it’s one of the fairest deals in software these days. Better than another bloody subscription model, or holding the ad-free experience hostage behind a paywall.
But they sell their app to ZippoApps which gonna add ads and tracker and You have to get subscribtion to remove ads. You can switch to Fossify fork of SimpleMobile tools.
That’s disappointing :/ do you have a source you could share?
Also, I’m confused about the versions available. From the comments here, there seems to be a free and paid version. But if I go to FDroid there’s obly the “pro version” there. That’s what I’ve been using and I see no ads. Where is the other one at?
If you install from F-Droid you are good to go it have pro features already but if you have play store then don’t update at all. And maybe source code of SMT app will be archived in future.

There’s a lot of good recommendations here but I haven’t seen anyone recommend Trail Sense yet. I use it to keep track of my steps without worrying about my levels of activity being monitored by anyone else. It also notifies me an hour before sunset since I actually go hiking.
