Awesome Android Apps
AAA
Hi all,
for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:
Rules
- Open Sourced
- Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
- Free as in Freedom
- Ad-free
- Installed and tested by me or by contributor
- Privacy-friendly aware
- Easy to use
- Still in development or polished experience
- Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
- Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
- Has dark theme
...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.
I hope you will find it useful! π€©

Thank you for this awesome list! I had terrible experience with OSS Document Scanner and Image Toolbox though.
The scanner would just distort every image like crazy!! Would 100% of the time utterly fail to detect the paper edges even against high contrast backgrounds without any patterns and under very good lighting. I did like 20+ photos and immediately deleted the app, it didn't produce a single usable result.
And image toolbox was just a pain to use. If you compare how you apply filters in e.g. Instagram to this app, the UX is purely frustrating :( Though the app looks nice and has lots of features :)
Sorry for all the negativity π I'll try to be more positive by sharing my favorite Spotify alternative, which is basically a YouTube music client with premium features. The service remains proprietary but the same applies to discord. InnerTune
No problem, I'm glad you like it! I had with OSS Document Scanner too, but not with Image Toolbox.
The basic edit is fine in many Gallery apps if you're looking for it. The Image Toolbox is fine with UI even modern, but when you look for quick edit I understand.
No worries, we all know that FOSS software is imperfect and not polished like some enormous alternatives like you've mentioned edit on Instagram... It's mostly 1 main contribution up to 10 - 20 vs many very well-paid developers that were working on it until it works perfectly with spying. π
I added to suggestion of apps project InnerTube, thanks. ;)
