Hey, there!

To get things going here and also because I’m interested in what kind of fun stuff you’re running on your phones, I’ll post a list of apps that I’m using daily or that are part of my Android experience.

To start it all off, I’d like to emphasize that I try to run FOSS apps almost exclusively and I also don’t use Google Play Services whatsoever (not even MicroG). I do run some very few closed source applications in a separate profile with Insular, but I plain out refuse to run them if they flat out require Google Play Services.

Feel free to tell me what YOU are running in the comments!

My installed Apps

Apps not available on F-Droid

These are apps that aren’t available on F-Droid, due to either containing non-free dependencies or other reasons.

  • Bitwarden(GPL-3.0) | Powerful cloud password manager with auto-fill capabilities*
  • boum(MPL-2.0) | Client for listening to music on Jellyfin*
  • Brave(MPL-2.0) | Web browser based on Chromium with privacy in mind (I use it when Mull breaks something)
  • Record You(GPL-3.0) | Record your voice or your screen

Honorable Mentions

These are apps that I wholeheartedly recommend, but don’t use any more, because I replaced them with something else.

*CAN be used as a client for self-hosted services
**Offers additional features if root access is present
***Requires root access to be present
****Part of a Magisk module
