Since I am curious but lazy enough to search for the description of each one of these apps, I made an experiment. I asked GPT-4 to generate a description for them. I provided the context below:
<span style="color:#323232;">This is a list of FOSS Android apps. I need you to briefly explain in one line what each one of these does.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You should use the knowledge you already have, but on doubt query the https://f-droid.org/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[I included OP full list here]
</span>
I tried twice. In the first one I not included the f-droid context above, and the list he generated have some misleading descriptions. The second try I passed the full prompt above, and the resulting descriptions was better.
Interestingly, GPT-4 alerts when he search the internet, but in this second try he did not accessed it, but the resulting list was better anyway, although not perfect:

Floris I gave it a try, I’m underwhelmed by the lack of punctuation/quote symbol options. Have you tried AnySoftKeyboard? Much more flexible in that department.
RethinkDNS (firewall, proxy and dns all in one [I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config])
Thanks for sharing, I’m looking into RethinkDNS, and I’m not surprised it tries to establish a VPN tunnel to perform its duties. Thing is my phone already has a VPN client, which happens to be Mullvad. What exactly do you mean by “I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config”?
