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

    Bitwarden or KeePass as open source password managers. KeyPass is entirely local, unless you sync your password database on the cloud, and Bitwarden is cloud based but with the option to self host the server (I recommend Vaultwarden, it’s lighter and written in Rust).

    Joplin for note taking, especially if you use Markdown.

    KDE connect for sharing files quickly between desktop and mobile - it’s better than the proprietary fast share protocols I’ve tried.

    Termux, for shell access and running Linux distros, albeit heavily limited.

    Fritter as a Twitter client alternative, though I’m already avoiding Twitter for the most part.

        Some of the functionality was lost, such as clicking through the trending section to see trending tweets:

        For the most part though, it works for reading tweet threads and viewing media, which is all I use it for now. If you’re installing Fritter through F-Droid, you have to install the beta- the old stable version was completely broken by Twitter’s API changes.

          Do you need to login with a Twitter account? Or is it still possible to just ‘lurk’? I uninstalled fritter when the APIs were turned off.

            You can still use it to just read tweets, but I’ve never been a heavy Twitter user in the first place so I’m not sure if anything major is broken in Fritter beta.

      Love Joplin, use it on desktop and mobile both.

      Bitwarden, KeePass, how good are these at auto-filling in the user & pass on apps & sites? I need to ditch LastPass D-:
