I wouldn’t watch YouTube if it wasn’t for Newpipe.

- Kiwi Browser (Chromium Browser with Extensions support)
- LocalSend (Open source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop)
- Neo Store (F-Droid client with Material You design)
- Password Store (Password and OTP Manager)
- Prognoza (Weather app)
- Proton Mail
- SD Maid SE (Storage cleaner)
- Seal (Video/Audio Downloader)
- ViMusic (YouTube Music Client)- Password Store + OpenKeychain - Supports Yubikeys (NFC and USB) for both decrypt and ssh+git sync
- Syncthing
- Uploads my photos to where another script can publish them to my photo gallery
- Like Google Photos with “unlimited” storage and original quality
- Element - Self hosted Synapse with Googlechat bridge eliminated regular Google Chat for me
- Firefox
- KeePassXC - Yubikeys don’t work for my wife. We handle shared passwords with this + Syncthing.
- Aegis - 2FA with workable backup
I’m looking for:
- Launcher most comparable to Nova. Majority FOSS launchers seem to be text-based search things which is getting way too into the weeds for me.
- Mail app with good search. I don’t think this actually exists because IMAP sucks too much but lack of search will always make the transition from Gmail nearly impossible.
For a launcher, I’ve been using Neo Launcher (which is on IzzyOnDroid). It’s not as feature full as Nova but it’s pretty similar in spirit and style
Neo Launcher looks like exactly what I want! Thank you!
IzzyOnDroid
I had seen this referenced a few times in the past couple of weeks but finally got off my butt to check it out. I always install F-Droid but never bothered with extra repos. I guess I’ll need to add that to my setup playbook because I’m gonna need Neo on everything now :).
It’d be kind of nice if I could run Ansible on an Android device. Full root backups aren’t quite the same thing since I really want to apply the settings to multiple devices, not just splat a disk image on top of things.
- Termux is my lifeline to my main Emacs session. Besides ssh and small scripts I also run a couple of personalized services in it that I’ve written in Go.
- Antennapod listened to thousands of hours of podcasts in it
- Fedilab is my favorite mobile Mastodon client. I also use Jerboa for Lemmy but it’s not quite at the favorite app level yet
- KeyMapper is essential for me, especially when managing a physical keyboard
- NewPipe for youtube
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike dungeon crawler
- MuPDF sensible PDF viewer
Also, RIP RedReader I know it still works but I’ve moved on from reddit.
Have you tried liftof for Lemmy, I kind of like it a bit better than Jerboa, https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff
Just did, thanks! Looks promising so far, didn’t realize it was so far along already.
It is written in flutter so it works everywhere, (but desktop looks kind of awkward)
Is FediLab worth the $2.7 ?
It’s open-source and it’s available at no cost on F-Droid. The Play store version is a way to support the developer.
BTW, I just noticed that Fedilab is apparently the #1 paid social app now, that’s pretty funny.
If you are in this post you should definitely know about F-Droid, and if you don’t… well, welcome to where open source apps are FOSSly distributed, and some paid apps on the Play Store like Fedilab and OsmAnd are completely free, both as beer and freedom.
Then, you can pay those 2.7$ directly to the developer (if you want) instead of giving part of it to Google.
I strongly recommend you install the Neo Store for a very modern frontend for F-Droid.
For extra coolness, activate the IzzyOnDroid repo on Neo Store for getting way more FOSS apps to download with quicker updates.
Like others have said, get it from F-droid for free, but yes, it is worth the cost imho.
Firefox, Termux, VLC, Jerboa, LiftOff, PPSSPP
Many, but I would shout-out DAVx⁵ and Bitwarden.
Looks like others have already mentioned most of my favourites, but one I feel deserves special mention: Newpipe.
Haven’t used the main YouTube app or website in years!
Neo, Droidify, SchildiChat, Jerboa.
Aves libre is the best Foss app I’ve used for managing a picture library.
learned about Organic Maps recently and its a really nice (albeit very simple, for now) open street maps client for GPS navigation. The interface is super nice
Material files is by far my favorite file browser app, I’ve been using it since before I paid much attention to foss vs proprietary
Droidify is my fav f-droid client
Firefox, VLC, Otraku (anilist client), Tachiyomi, Pano Scrobbler, F-Droid, various emulators, LibreTorrent
- App Manager - An app manager with super powers! With this app I can keep track off my apps permissions, operations, launch activities, freeze or uninstall bloatware. Although, my main reason to use this is the built-in apk/apks installer that shows the components, trackers, and differences between versions when updating an app. It has even more features I can’t say. Truly amazing.
- Aves - Best gallery app on Android. I love the mosaic view!
- KDE Connect - Connect your Android with you PC. Can share files, sync clipboard, control media etc.
- RethinkDNS - Best DNS/Firewall app I’ve ever used. Doesn’t consume lot battery and it’s super configurable.
- URLCheck - I can’t live without it. With this app I can check, modify, unshorten and remove tracking elements from links, and even select the app you want to open that link with - Really nice when using work profile.

- Libretube - alternative youtube app
- K-9 Mail - email client. simple but powerful
- Aurora Store - Alternative to google play store
- RCX - Rclone for android. Very useful. I cipher all my online storage with this app
- DAVX5 - app to sync contacts and calendar
Nextcloud - easily access my self-hosted cloud storage from anywhere when needed. Firefox - browse the web, been a Firefox Stan for ages K-9 Mail - I love the flexibility offered by this mail app AntennaPod - it’s been the best podcast app that I’ve come across that’s also pretty configurable Jerboa - Lemmy :P
Are you me?
Also, have you hooked up Antennapod to Nextcloud via Gpoddersync? That’s been a godsend for me as I’ve been swapping phones a lot recently.
Any chance you also listen to them on PC? I’m looking to move away from Pocket Casts to Antennapod but haven’t looked into desktop players yet (web/win&lin)
KDE makes a podcast client called Kasts, and it syncs with gpoddersync on Nextcloud so you’re synced to Antennapod as well. It’s not a half bad interface.
Thanks for this. I’ve been using it for almost 2 weeks and aside from having to manually tell Lasts/AntennaPod to sync it’s been a seamless replacement for pocket casts. Well, once I figure out how to get the f-droid version of AntennaPod to play nice with Android auto (a problem I only came across yesterday)
That’s again for the recommendation.
Happy it helped.
Notepad++, GIMP, Proton, Openshot
How dare you mistake this thread for a desktop one?
Nice apps though.
