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.

🏔️ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! 🤩

I recommend QUIK SMS as an maintained fork of QKSMS. https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.octoshrimpy.quik/

Any mastodon client? Also can I recommend the Right apps collection from Goodwy and Voyager as Lemmy client (I think they match the requirements to figure on your list).

Awesome list. Have you found any app for recording calls? (I live in Hungary and receive calls in Hungarian sometimes and would like to record them to translate and understand what the call was about.)

Also, I don't see anything for audiobooks. I use Smart Audiobooks, but was wondering if there are more open source options.

Thank you!

I see... quick search and I found this beauty, try it out, I haven't yet, but keep in my first sentence of it:

MOST PHONES DOES NOT SUPPORT CALL RECORDING. Blame Google or your phone manufacturer not me!

I've seen many stars coming in to this Voice Audiobook Player repository.

I use Voice by Paul Woitaschek (available on F-Droid). It has a nice, simple interface and a few really useful features. I've gone through dozens of audiobooks in various formats with it and haven't had any problems yet.

Nice list!

I would add RiMusic (ViMusic fork, since ViMusic haven't been updated in a long time) and maybe InnerTune

RiMusic (ViMusic fork, since ViMusic haven’t been updated in a long time)

I didn't know that! Thanks!

InnerTune also looks very promising!

EDIT: Replace ViMusic with RiMusic

Browser list doesn't include Firefox?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Firefox isn't FOSS. It requires proprietary APIs like Google Safe browsing and others. See the Fennec's deblobbing scripts and build repo for a more details: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild

Just because it's not on the list it does not mean it's bad :) Also there are Firefox forks like Mull, Iceraven and Fennec

Ahem. I don't see the Lemmy app on there.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago
