    I recently switched to KISS launcher; it’s a bit unorthodox but I like it a lot now that I’m used to it. AntennaPod is good for podcasting too

    • Revanced Manager, a YouTube(+more!!!) patcher to remove, er, unwanted features.
    • Bitwarden Password Manager, password manager I switched to when Lastpass went down the shitter and wanted me to pay. I even ended up paying 10/y for TOTP in bitwarden, but only because I felt they actually deserved it, unlike lastpass
    • Mull, A Firefox fork with privacy enhancements, free modifications, and extension support. Mozilla, Firefox, and the Gecko engine help to fight the Chromium monopoly, which powers browsers like Chrome, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, etc.
    • Termux, terminal emulator for Android. I really only use it in conjunction with Tasker (nonfree), but still useful for one-off applications
    • K-9 Mail (soon Thunderbird for Android!), the only mail client for Android Ive ever used (apart from the gmail app). Now owned by Thunderbird and excited for it’s future.
    • Yuito, my preferred Mastodon client. I like it.

    There’s so many:

    • Termux: terminal
    • Tailscale: easily allows for setting up a mesh VPN network, completely unbothered by firewals and NAT. Sometimes I fix stuff on my homeserver from my phone with Termux.
    • Tachiyomi: great manga reader, I only hope that sync gets officialy built in (I’m already using SyncYomi).
    • Revolution IRC: IRC client.
    • Nextcloud: backs up photos on my homeserver instead of Google Photos. Sadly uses a lot of battery, probably because I have around 50K images to scan.
    • Jellyfin: streams shows and films from my homeserver.
    • Fedilab: mastodon client.
    • FairEmail: privacy friendly email app.

    Android

    • Waistline calorie counter
    • Verifit workout diary

    They’re both pretty basic but honestly upon switching I realized how many superfluous features I didn’t use in my old apps.

    I use Syncthing to sync my phones photo library with a Google Pixel running on my server rack. If you didn’t know, the first model of Google Pixel still gets unlimited full quality photo uploads to Google Photos for free, so its a great way to keep those backed up, even if I don’t particularly enjoy the company they’re hosted on.

      SyncThing is amazing! I mainly use it to synchronise Obsidian markdown notes between devices, plus general file sharing. It’s great how fast it updates

    an open source notes app of course, an opensource keyboard app, there are a lot of good things in those categories. also, back when i read ebooks on my phone i found a really good app called comfort reader that automatically reads books for you and stuff, and there are also other great reading apps

    Revanced for YouTube, Audacity, KDENlive, VLC, OBS studio, and the *ARR suite of applications.

    Edit: I did not see that you said Android. Revanced it is then.

    RedReader - a fantastic Reddit app, that hopefully will support Lemmy in the future.

        I use helix to edit stuff in termux on my phone, I think it’s actually pretty usable once you get used to it

        Though, it’s still text editing on a phone, so I don’t know if I’d recommend it
