I’d add Tasker to that list, even if some of the functionality requires root. It’s actually insane how powerful Tasker is.

Tasker is good too but a bit redundant with MacroDroid. Both are amazing though! Everyone needs to have one or similar!

Joplin. Organise your notes into notebooks and you can also write them in markdown. You can also save your notes encrypted and syhcronise them with the cloud to have them in all of your devices. Joplin is available in all Operating Systems. Also supposts Nextcloud so it can be self-hosted!

What do you think about replacing Samsung notes with this? S notes have everything I need but I think the text formattings in it aren’t markdown.

Swaglordmusclewizard ,

I’m not a Joplin user, but I use Obsidian which is similar as it’s also in markdown and notes are saved locally or hosted with encryption.

I’d say either app is better than the stock note-taking apps. I’ve been using Google Keep prior.

I’m biased since I only use Obsidian but I love it, been a power user for a month now.

Feel free to check both out! The link below is what I just searched for and learned about Joplin.

I set up a Nextcloud server recently and have been looking for a decent note app. I'll try it out today. Thanks!

You should definitely try, I have this setup (VPN) on my server for more than 1 year

Tasks - My life would be a mess without this or something very similar.
Firefox - Ad blocking, dark mode, bookmarks etc. synced to my laptop.
My bank app.

  • Spectroid: what’s that sound? Do I hear that faint but annoying sound or just imagine it? With spectroid you can see the sound spectrum over time.
  • Nova launcher: Lets you cutomize the home screen of your phone and make it just right. I like my apps a bit closer together in five columns instead of four. Nova launcher let’s me do this.
  • Business calendar: it’s just so much better than the default calendar, especially if you have lots of meetings and need an information dense view.

I second nova launcher and business calendar. They’ve been staples on my phones for the past 5+ years

Love Nova Launcher! It offers so many customisation options, particularly in terms of home screen and app drawer layout, icons and fonts.

I remember a few years back when my phone was stolen (I accidentally left it in the back of an Uber) and I was forced to buy a new one. The relief I felt when I started up the new phone, signed into Google and straightaway saw my familiar home screen, courtesy of Nova Launcher.

I guess I was surprised so much was still there given I didn't do a formal backup / transfer between old and new phones, but that's the beauty of the cloud! :)

Edit: Also @distantlight, agree with Cube ACR - I have been immensely grateful having an easy way to record calls. It has a button to allow you to start and stop recording in the middle of a call so for me, it was piece of mind, especially during legal scrapes! But as another commenter has said, I feel like it stopped working at some point so no longer have it installed..

I recently found out Nova was purchased by an analytics company. I don’t have any proof or solid reason to think they’re up to no good necessarily. But I have zero desire to use something as integral as a launcher that’s owned by a company like that.

I moved to Neo Launcher and it’s been 95% as good as Nova. The knock is just some fine tunings that Nova had, but I’m not having any issues with Neo.

Was not aware of this. Thank you!.. :(

I use Business Calendar daily. It’s very customizable, easy to use, and has been awesome for years.

Tywele , in New Android logo

I prefer the flat looking one. Never liked skeumorphism icons.

Mori , in What's the 3 apps that you can't live without?

Google maps, bitwarden, telegram

Honorable mention: Boost for reddit (hopefully soon to be replaced by boost for Lemmy 😁)

godolphins13 , in What's the 3 apps that you can't live without?

Echoing others on the thread:

Bitwarden - used for all my passwords and 2FA WhatsApp - wish I could replace with Signal but network effects too wide Twitter - I’m too addicted. This used to be Flamingo (RIP)

The last spot could’ve been between Flamingo and Reddit Sync, sad times.

FairLight , in New Android logo

The new one looks like a serious downgrade, imo

Lucidlethargy ,

Yup. I don’t like it.

sozifa , in What are Android's Best Weather Apps?

International: Weather&Radar - best overall UK: Wearher Forcast UK or MetOffice app (same source but different UI) GER: Deutscher Wetterdienst und Regen Vorschau (very accurate but only GER)

shotgun_crab , in New Android logo

Are we going back to older, more detailed logos?

What's bitwarden?

brianshatchet ,

Password manager

kat , in Jerboa currently unusable for other people?
@kat@feddit.de avatar

I have the same issue. Deleting app data and cache stopped the crash at the start, but I cannot log into my account. It seems the reason for the crash was that the lemmy instance I'm on (and that I was still logged into) uses version 17.x, when Jerboa requires 18.x.

@Xanthrax@lemmy.world avatar

They fixed it this morning, but it’s still being buggy for me. I think it’s more on Lemmy’s/.world’s side, at this point. That being said, I’m starting to like wefwef a lot.

13esq , in What's the 3 apps that you can't live without?

A lot of people here are recommending bitwarden. What are the advantages of this over Google’s native password manager?

DarkInspiration ,

The free tier has all the features you need, it’s open-source and it’s not a Google product.

It’s also quite easy to switch to it from other managers, even the Google one.

Mori ,

Well for one it is not just a side functionality as the manager in chrome. It also is open source and was audited several time by external experts. And lastly it is super simple to use on pretty much any platform.

Airgoof ,

You can self-host the server

moisttoast34 ,

I like that I can set up a public container and share certain passwords but still manage it

singinwhale ,

Ever wondered how other browsers like Firefox can import passwords from chrome without any password? Well, viruses can do that too. With bitwarden they can’t just read the passwords from disk because they would need your master password.

Disclaimer: haven’t been saving my passwords in the browser for a while so not sure if other browsers can still scrape the passwords just like that anymore

Signal, Brave and Bitwarden.
