Top-tier FOSS android apps you use
| >Dashchan
A chan browser that also supports danger/u/
| gotify, syncthing, syncorg
| ios
| NewPipe is OP. Basically reverts all the soykaf changes YouTube's been making these past few years (such as audio stopping when you lock your phone), and adds it's own super handy features like playing on repeat. If you have an Android, you should have NewPipe. Find it on the F-Droid store, g/u/rls.
| >Tachiyomi
An awesome app for reading, finding and downloading comics and manga
>Openvpn
Self explanatory
>MusicPiped
Like newpipe but only fetches the sound. Useful for saving bandwidth.
>Termux
Sweet terminal emulator
| >Intra
to customise your DNS provider

i used newpipe a couple years ago but ended up sick of it because it was broken most of the time. now i use termux + youtube-dl + termux-url-opener script and its very nice

>a couple years ago
I used to feel the same way, but now things are fixed for the most part.
They got lots of improvement, too.
| >>651718
idk, it was shilled pretty hard on /g/. there was also mintube which featured the floating video screen before Google™ introduced it with youtube premium
| >>651862 that's still there. And you can also turn your phone off and have music still play in the background. It's kinda like YouTube before it was soykaf.
| >>648902 just wanted to say newpipe also does the audio only thing, and if it's broken you can side load beta builds from the GitHub faster than fdroid updates
| >>653499
Tachiyomi has basically single-handedly got me back into reading Manga
I don't have the time to sit at my desk and read the websites for hours at a time anymore, and I've not got enough mobile data to check the sites on the go - but with Tachiyomi I can just download every chapter I want and read it during my commute, or during my lunch break at work; it is so fucking based
| >Vanilla Music
Started using this back in the Oreo days when Poweramp was basically abandoned.
It's a minimalist music player with cover and metadata fetch, also tag editor plugin.
| >andOTP
I dislike the monopoly Googs has with their Authenticator app. Your 2FA codes are encrypted at rest, easy to import/export.
>Scrambled Exif
It just strips your photos/videos of all its metadata to help preserve your privacy.
>FairEmail
The best FOSS email client I've ever used. There's a paid tier for a few extra niceties, and tbh when you see how frequently the solo dev works on this bad boi, you'll want him to take your money. Integrates well with OpenKeychain too.
| I'm surprised that no one has said anything about https://vanced.app/
YouTube ads is bads
| prism-break.org and privacytools.io have some interesting FOSS addons and apps.
| Use newpipe instead actually Foss
| I'm a fan of firefox for android and k-9 mail. Tried the Slide reddit client today, and it seems nice enough.
| kuroba is nice
| icecat mobile
| >>675944 I've found that k-9 mail sends all of my autosaved drafts drafts to people, which since i overthink things meant that people would get like 20 slightly different versions of an email. I worked around it for a while by not entering the recipients until i was done but watch out
| I've been using OpenBoard and FOSS Browser, both are on F-Droid.
| Invidious isn't an app, but can be added to you launcher like an app. It's a better alternative to YouTube than NewPipe. Also, TuxCart.
| Any map/gps? Can be offline but can be online
| Bitwarden- password manager
Aurora droid- fdroid client
Trying out joplin, don't know how to set up webdav for mega though
Webapps- use for instagram, reddit, and porn
Signal- currently no contacts, but using as sms app, wish they'd add more features wrt sms
Refresh
| >NewPipe
Youtube client, lets you download, listen in background, and is very lightweight
>Frost
Facebook client with video downloader and other useful tools, also lightweight
>Kiwi browser
Best chrome replacement so far, since Bromite crashes on my phone
