  • FeedMe (Not FOSS. Open to suggestions)
  • Firefox
  • FNG

This is just about everything I have on my phone. I'm on a FairPhone 4 running /e/OS. What's your load out like?

I'm looking for a new keyboard. Glad for suggestions :D

We have similar lists, so some considerations:

  • Helium314 fork of OpenBoard for keyboard
  • Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I'm blanking on the name of)
  • Matrix with a Signal bridge so you can use tablets and other devices with Element, which has a wider range of devices
  • NeoLauncher is like OL, but with more configuration
  • Thunder for Lemmy. Great client, and only one with 2 column tablet support

There's a lot of good recommendations here but I haven't seen anyone recommend Trail Sense yet. I use it to keep track of my steps without worrying about my levels of activity being monitored by anyone else. It also notifies me an hour before sunset since I actually go hiking.

Obsidian isn't FOSS. I highly recommend Logseq but keep in mind they require CLA signing for contributions

[โ€“] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

F-Droid, Voyager, Eternity, Libretube

[โ€“] heyfrancis@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Anyone uses InnerTune?

Here are some not mentioned in this thread yet.

Material Files - the best files app I've ever used! Clean, material design and has everything I need. It can even run an FTP server

[โ€“] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I used that but it started to feel bloated after a while.

I'd recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it's hardened.

It's basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile

Nextcloud News I like for RSS since it fetches the full text article. Obtainium lkke others mentioned is a must have for me.

[โ€“] jabjoe@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously guys, no one saying Nextcloud?

  • The main app for photo backup.
  • Nextcloud Notes for well, notes you can also use from the desktop.
  • NC Passwords for well, passwords
  • Phonetrack to record your phone to Nextcloud Maps.
  • Deck for the Kanban.
[โ€“] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I switched to Immich for photo backup/management. It's better by miles.

Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.

[โ€“] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

megladon for mastodon

[โ€“] wason@lemmy.run 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's FNG? Fluid navigation gestures? Is that FOSS? Can you share a link to the codebase? Can't find it

OpenBoard + predictive text binary

[โ€“] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Obtainium is pretty good
