You must log in or register to comment.
Not sure about the rest of those, but Obsidian isn’t OS either.
I didn’t realize that. Thanks!
Joplin works pretty well
I use Joplin but I don’t love it.
I use KDE Connect as a media remote and to transfer files between my phone and computers. It has quite a few other functions, like remote mouse control, sms, seems to share clipboards as well.
don’t be fooled by the name, KDE connect also works on GNOME and even Windows. It is a truly wonderful app
It’s SO good
And MacOS. It’ll be the way my wife is open to a non-Apple phone for her next as she doesn’t care about iMessage, but uses the share clipboard feature every day
Kde connect is wonderful

Thanks for your links !
Have you tried Obtainium ? This could replace foxy-droid which seems dead with no updates since 2020!
You’re welcome :)
Yes, I have. I really liked it, but I didnt like that GitHub blocked me every now and then. I don’t have any account there due to privacy reasons.
I somewhat don’t mind outdated apps. It depends on what app it is. I wouldn’t use Bitwarden if they stop develop their app, as of 1 example.
FeedMe (Not FOSS. Open to suggestions)
The RSS or meal planning app? If it’s the former I like Feeder. You can probably export and import all your feeds.
I think some of my favorites are LibreTorrent, Session, and NewPipe.
I am a big fan of open source engine recreations, even if I don’t play them a ton, so DevilutionX and OpenMW are worth mentioning. I think Xash3D is also open source if you want to play Half Life on the go.
I think OpenRCT2 has an Android app but I haven’t bothered figuring out how to set it up yet.
I meant RSS. Thanks for asking. I’ll check Feeder out
All of these list are great as we discover new apps each time.
But, I would suggest to write what is the app about.
For keyboard I’m currently using OpenBoard and ThumbKey, the latter obviously not for everyone.
Adding to your list:
- Droidify
- Trail Sense
- NewPipe
- Logseq
- Syncthing
- Coffee
- Element
- Cryptomator
- VLC
- Geometric Weather
- Termux
- Noteless
- StreetComplete
- Translate You

Suggestion For OP
OP You should use Florisboard beta it’s good and also Obsidian is not open source.
Do you have a link for Whatsapp beta mod? Thanks!
sorry, dumb question. how reliable is this? And, with this wapp modded installed, have any risk from wapp to ban me? And its possible turn on double check blue mark?
I don’t know how safe is this I really don’t care about ban. If they ban me then I have a excuse to not use whatsapp. You can turn on double check blue mark in Privacy Setting by Clicking on 3 dots.
Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases
- Editor simple generic text editor
- Gauguin a sudoku like logic game
- LibreSudoku sudoku app for android (has 12 × 12)
- OCR based on Tesseract 5
- OpenCamera camera app
All from F-Droid. I use Vanadium for pretty much everything else. No google at all except for the bootloader splash screen; almost like a real citizen before freedom was lost to neo-digital-feudalism with hardware I can never own.
Could you please share a link to the app with OCR based on tessaract 5
Only just got this reply bc bugs I guess. https://github.com/SubhamTyagi/android-ocr
Thanks, I’ve installed it and I’m going to give it a try.
If you use Organic Maps you may be interested in https://streetcomplete.app to help fill out the map
This makes me wish i used an android.

Openboard (though seems dead and looking for alternative)
InternxtThere’s a fork of Openboard constantly developed. Here its repo.
Audible doesn’t look very FOSSy to me
My mistake, I meant Audile
There’s a fork of Openboard that is trying to update it, but AFAIK, it’s not published anywhere yet: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard
