What's your favourite open source app and why?

Aegis 2fa, better than what most of closed source app offers.

All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?

Obtainium. Such an awesome peace of software for tracking app updates. Many sources available. Search through them. Notifications about updates. Just. Too. Good. ❤️

Syncthing. I frequently ROM my phone, and the first app I always grab is Syncthing.

Termux for ssh, scripting and other terminal goodness, Antennapod for podcasts, NewPipe for Youtube, Fennec for web browsing with extension support, Fedilab for Mastodon, Mupdf for a no-nonsense PDF viewer.

I love AntennaPod and LibreTube.

• Firefox Beta, keeping the web free on mobile. Really wish they'd make a tablet version though

• Joplin for notes

• K-9 mail for ad-free email with a unified inbox

• Syncthing to never have to email something to myself again (and sync Joplin database)

• Jellyfin to watch movies on my home server

• Moshidon for Mastodon

• Pocket Casts for podcasts

• Did I Take My Medication? for pill reminders --

That is a hard question for sure. I think Thunder, Tusky, and AntennaPod are my favorites, but i can't choose just one out of them.

For me it's gotta be immich, it replicates Google photos SO well and it's all local and self hosted, absolutely floored by how great it is

For browsing my photos on my device I use Aves which is also a great app, especially since it's the only app I've ever found that handles Sony burst format properly

F-droid

KISS launcher

Especially when pairing it with the Panels App

KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.

I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.

Joplin for End-to-End Encrypted markdown-based note-taking.

KeepassDX. The best password manager IMHO. It supports saving passwords, ability to open them with biometrics and is seamless and offline. I have been using it since 2019. Redreader for reddit provides the best offline reddit experience. Also using it since 2019. Personaldnsfilter, pretty much a fire and forget app. No setup required at all. These are some of my favorite apps and I have more.

FreshRSS - self hosted, snappy, plenty of themes, works with multiple mobile clients and has a bunch of powerful features to get RSS-like updates out of any website.

Edit: My bad, we're talking about open source Android apps

Tachiyomi. TachiyomiSY to be exact.

For all not knowing what the app is, its a (imo the best) manga reading app on android.

The SY fork has some features for more adult centered sites.

Blender!

GNU Coreutils. Without it pioneering the way, nothing else in this thread would've been likely to exist.

Picking one favorite is hard, but probably SDR++. No other app for SDR gets even close to this. It's pretty much a full desktop experience. I just wish there were more drivers so I could use it with SDRPlay RSP1 that I have and not just RTL-SDR.

But hey it's open-source. My bad I can't program.

Kvaesito launcher. I was using Niagara before because most open source launchers just felt dated, but this one looks modern and feels good to use. It's not very customizable but it works for me

Nekobox because without it i can't connect to the internet:)
