BitWarden.
One of the best, if not the best password manager I’ve ever used.
OsmAnd GPS map and route planner.
No bullshit, and it works offline without ever bugging you to download new maps. Great route planner and directions. Simply amazing IMO.
However this is #2 after Firefox, but Firefox is already prominently mentioned.
I would’ve said Infinity for… something, but we know how that turned out. So, I’d say it ir most likely Fennec F-Droid, it is the first app I install in every device that isn’t a tablet
This app alone is one of the huge reasons why I prefer Android. I love that I can natively run a bunch of Linux utilities directly on my phone and use it like I would a regular computer. Everything from Vim, Python, and various networking utilities, I’ve played around with so many different tools which has helped expand my skillset over the years.
I also use the Termux-X11 addon to have a full xfce desktop environment running on an external monitor with HDMI out over USB-C.
Phones are quite capable devices and using tools like these really unlocks their full potential.
Termux is staple for power user
What kind of scenarios do you pull out a terminal on your phone for?
Firefox by a huge margin, because it’s integrated into how I use the internet so well now I don’t even notice it’s a FOSS app.
As far as more niche apps goes, Joplin. Since they added WYSIWYG editing it’s an easy Evernote replacement that just does what I want in a note taker/web clipper app.
Simple Gallery, no nonsense gallery app that’s pretty fast and has a built-in image editor.
All of the “Simple” apps are great.
Recently it’s been Obtanium, basically it allows you to add apps which are hosted on GitHub/other app sources which don’t have auto updating, and have them automatically check and offer to update!
It’s been really useful for Lemmy clients (liftoff/Jerboa)/any android apps from:
GitHub
GitLab
Codeberg
F-Droid
IzzyOnDroid
Mullvad
Signal
SourceForge
SourceHut
APKMirror (Track-Only) APKPure
Third Party F-Droid Repos
Jenkins Jobs
Steam
Telegram App
VLC
Neutron Code
“HTML” (Fallback)
AntennaPod. The developers seem to have kept it to a very simple remit of just doing podcasts and doing it well.
is Tachiyomi open source? if it is, then that. It’s always one of the first things I install on my device.
There’s just no better manga/comic reader app on Android (even on PC tbh).
The only thing better than Tachiyomi is one of its forks like TachiyomiSY which I’m currently using.
Adaway is my favourite open source app because it blocks most ads system wide.
Dude just put dns.adguard.com in private dns like this
More recently Habitica and Goodtime have been instrumental in the way that I approach productivity
- Habitica is a habit tracker/to-do list that lets you treat your life as an RPG, and provides me the extrinsic motivation of “I want to level up” that pushes me to accomplish tasks that I otherwise would have been lax on
- Goodtime is simply the best pomodoro app that I’ve found that has a minimalist interface, configurable timers (on the fly), and robust statistics monitoring (with the option to export to CSV)
In combination they’ve helped me move my daily focus into more deep and focused work, rather than trudging around and getting distracted by whatever catches my eye
Can you talk a little bit about how you use Habitica? I’ve tried it and can’t seem to make my brain care even though I fall into games easily and even though I know it would be good for me.
It’s a decentralized continuous file synchronization tool. It’s literally magic.
The GCC.
Without that compiler endless nice software wouldn’t exist.
That’s not really an Android app though, especially considering how through Google was to de-GNU Linux for Android.
In deed, you are right.
I was too enthusiastic and missed the main requirement.
I’d say you are still right about the importance of GCC.
