Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative? (lemmy.ml)

Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

Hmmm I do need a reason to learn rust... But a cross platform DAW feels like too big of a project for my level of disorganization 😹

Maybe I should try building ardour for android, it would be way easier to rebuild Ardour's UI for mobile.

That was the one that came to mind while your at it maybe add a shortcut for extending a sound region to the full length of the track eg. Logic Pro X uses the L key for this I suspect it stands for Loop, but yeah would be awesome to have some ported daw that can also be used on Android TV OS for TV boxes like the Shield TV and these super powerful Rockchip RK3588 chipset TV OS boxes like the Mekotronics R58 mini and R58X range I have one, the idea would definitely work for those as they are powerful S series samsungs definitely to, mouse capability and keyboard for TV boxes obviously would have to be included as they don't have touch screens.
