I often see lists of great FOSS apps. Especially for alternatives for basic apps or social media.

Apart from these. There are a few apps I found on Droid-ify that I use.

(I’m fully aware other great apps exists as well, just cause I don’t have a use for them, and therefore haven’t mentioned them, doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate them as well - they’ve helped others and I’m happy for that)

Anyways, here are some open source apps I use. (All from Droid-ify)

• CapyReader - An RSS app. Save url links of website who write articles. And you can read them all here like news.

• AniHyou & Migu - App to watch Anime (links to AniList account)

• Kotatsu - App to read Manga & Hentai.

• TachiJ2k - App to read Manga & Hentai.

• Cromite - Browser

• NotesNook - Notes app. Platforms on Android, Linux, Windows & Web browsers. Access anywhere!

• Easy Notes - Simpler Note app.

• XeonJia - A game. Kinda like RPG puzzles. Remember those Pokemon games where we enter a gym, and have to slide around to get to the gym leader. Imagine that, but an entire game where you play something like Link from Legend of Zelda.

• GrayJay - Client to watch videos from popular sites (great alternative, definitely download this)

• Metro Music Player.

• Key Mapper - Remap your physical buttons. So pressing them in certain ways does something else. (So my power button is broken. I use the volume up button to lock & unlock my phone now.)

• Windscribe VPN (their reddit dev team are great and funny as well. Wholesome too)

• Iconify & SystemUI Tuner - modify Android. Needs root.

• Cirno & Hail & SuperFreezZ app stopper - Freezes apps

• Fossify Suite & You Suite & Proton Suite - A set of basic apps

• Alga - Developers Toolbox

• MatLog Libre & LogFox - Log Cat so I can give reports to Custom ROM developers and help them.

• Enforce Dose & Private DNS Quick Toggle - does what it says. Simple app.

• Warden - Manage Android app permissions

• Organic Maps - Map app

• HeliBoard - Keyboard

• Image Toolbox

• WhatSave - App that helps for a certain messaging platform.

• Immich - Photos app & cloud storage.

• aShellYou - ADB app that does adb commands easily. Need root.

• Rain - Weather app (cute AF, but never seemed to properly tell me when it’s actually gonna rain.)

• MaterialOS - An icon pack. (They ought to mention that in the app name, the letters OS threw me off)

• Droid-ify - F-droid app, but better looking.

• ReThink DNS - DNS app.

• DiskUsage - App to analyse your phone’s storage and what is filling it. (OMFG This is such an amazing app, a must-have to be installed. I downloaded it like maybe 10 years ago? Still use it)

Ofcourse there are tons more but they are popular and you already know about them.

• SyncThing, NextCloud, Termux, BreezyWeather, Bromite, Tutamail, Obtainium, Tusky, Easter Eggs

Anyways, I just wanted to say Thank you for making these great apps from the bottom of my heart. I’m always on the lookout for more.

If noone usually mentions your app on Reddit App Lists. Please remember. I use them. All the time. Thank you so much!

Hoping to one day find Open source apps for other simple but proprietary apps I use too one day.

Anyways. Thank you! Developers! For your apps!

Love ya!
