Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

Open Sourced
Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
Free as in Freedom
Ad-free
Installed and tested by me or by contributor
Privacy-friendly aware
Easy to use
Still in development or polished experience
Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

🏔️ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! 🤩

Nice! Thanks a lot, found some I hadn't heard of before

Glad to hear that! That was the main purpose of this list. :) And that is why I need contributors so maybe they found or heard something that I have not.

Thanks!

I would like your contribution to be in Pull Request, nonetheless I will comment on what you suggested ;)

Wallabag - I know it and used it, but through official wallabag instance, I never self-hosted it. Did you?
Gelli - looks cool, but last commit was 10 months ago compared to official Jellyfin app which commit was 7 hours ago.
Ntfy - that looks astonishing for automation. Where would you put it, under what category?
Clipious - already added. ;)
Linkdy - looks nice, but Privacy Policy is meh and I need a IzzyOnDroid or F-Droid link. Otherwise, I cannot add it.
LT-app - looks cool but yet again I don't see F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid link. I want my list to be 100% FOSS compatible with F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid repos.

Wallabag, yes i selfhost it and use it every day!
Gelli, didn't realise that, i guess it does everything it has to do for me, no complaints or bugs that i know of :)
Ntfy, i use it exclusively for my selfhosted apps, but i can imagine broader usage. But still i would file it under selfhosting ;)
Linkdy, hmm, you're making me second guess the app
LT, shame, it's really good. But I understand

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Great! It should come from you (PR), however, because I don't :/
Yeah, that also works, so maybe I will add it :)
Hmm, well self-hosting and automation are really close, especially when you have your own cloud... as a sys cloud admin, I know a thing or two about it.
On my GrapeheneOS you can disable access to network, but still app looks cool and you can inspect the code but it takes time to tell if something spooky is going on.
Maybe in the future. ;)
