I’ve recently decided to switch out my Playstore apps for Open Source Apps as they’re usually Ad Free and much less bloated. Can we use this thread to help people find open source android apps?

I’ll start

K-9 mail, a great email alternative that let’s you have multiple users logged in

Red Moon - A customisable night light app which lets you adjust the colour and settings including Colour, opacity and Darkness

Swift Notes - Note taking app

    Aard 2 - translator that takes you to wikidictionary
    andOTP - offline OTP with easy option to encrypt your backup with your PGP key
    AnyMemo - very nice flashcard app. Creating your own (with Tatoeba for example) is very easy
    Carnet - simple notes app
    FairMail - great mail app. IMO better than K-9
    Feeder - RSS watcher
    Ghost Commander - file manager. UI is a little bit clunky but much better than enything else
    KeePassDX - password manager
    Librera Reader - IMO the best PDF/epub/mobi reader there is
    monocles translator - nice translator similar to DeepL
    NewPipe - youtube and bandcamp
    Ning - local network scanner
    OCR
    Odyssey Music Player
    OpenCamera
    OpenKeychain - PGP
    OsmAnd~ - navigation and maps in general
    CV Project - Mozilla projecton capturing voice recordings
    QKSMS - for sms
    RCX - cloud client
    Shelter - the “work profile” manager
    Simple Calendar - calendar with very nice widgets
    Sky Map - you can point your phone in the direction of a star and see it annotated
    Weather Widget - for the weather
    WebMediaShare/WebApps - discontinued unfortunately, but it’s great at appifying an URL, so you don’t have to use official app

    I use more, but these are the ones I think might be most interesting to others. I don’t know if all of these are absolutely 100% open source (and that depends on definition) but all of these are in F-droid.
