    I wouldn’t watch YouTube if it wasn’t for Newpipe.

    Looks like others have already mentioned most of my favourites, but one I feel deserves special mention: Newpipe.

    Haven’t used the main YouTube app or website in years!

    • Termux is my lifeline to my main Emacs session. Besides ssh and small scripts I also run a couple of personalized services in it that I’ve written in Go.
    • Antennapod listened to thousands of hours of podcasts in it
    • Fedilab is my favorite mobile Mastodon client. I also use Jerboa for Lemmy but it’s not quite at the favorite app level yet
    • KeyMapper is essential for me, especially when managing a physical keyboard
    • NewPipe for youtube
    • Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike dungeon crawler
    • MuPDF sensible PDF viewer

    Also, RIP RedReader I know it still works but I’ve moved on from reddit.

        It’s open-source and it’s available at no cost on F-Droid. The Play store version is a way to support the developer.

        BTW, I just noticed that Fedilab is apparently the #1 paid social app now, that’s pretty funny.

        If you are in this post you should definitely know about F-Droid, and if you don’t… well, welcome to where open source apps are FOSSly distributed, and some paid apps on the Play Store like Fedilab and OsmAnd are completely free, both as beer and freedom.

        Then, you can pay those 2.7$ directly to the developer (if you want) instead of giving part of it to Google.

        I strongly recommend you install the Neo Store for a very modern frontend for F-Droid.

        For extra coolness, activate the IzzyOnDroid repo on Neo Store for getting way more FOSS apps to download with quicker updates.

    Aves libre is the best Foss app I’ve used for managing a picture library.

    learned about Organic Maps recently and its a really nice (albeit very simple, for now) open street maps client for GPS navigation. The interface is super nice

    Material files is by far my favorite file browser app, I’ve been using it since before I paid much attention to foss vs proprietary

    Droidify is my fav f-droid client

          The automatic updating is great for us rootless folks.

            I’m rootless also, but haven’t played much with shizuku. I just went and enabled it, I’m curious to see the improvement next time I have lots of updates available!

    • Password Store + OpenKeychain - Supports Yubikeys (NFC and USB) for both decrypt and ssh+git sync
    • Syncthing
      • Uploads my photos to where another script can publish them to my photo gallery
      • Like Google Photos with “unlimited” storage and original quality
    • Element - Self hosted Synapse with Googlechat bridge eliminated regular Google Chat for me
    • Firefox
    • KeePassXC - Yubikeys don’t work for my wife. We handle shared passwords with this + Syncthing.
    • Aegis - 2FA with workable backup

    I’m looking for:

    • Launcher most comparable to Nova. Majority FOSS launchers seem to be text-based search things which is getting way too into the weeds for me.
    • Mail app with good search. I don’t think this actually exists because IMAP sucks too much but lack of search will always make the transition from Gmail nearly impossible.

      For a launcher, I’ve been using Neo Launcher (which is on IzzyOnDroid). It’s not as feature full as Nova but it’s pretty similar in spirit and style

        Neo Launcher looks like exactly what I want! Thank you!

        I had seen this referenced a few times in the past couple of weeks but finally got off my butt to check it out. I always install F-Droid but never bothered with extra repos. I guess I’ll need to add that to my setup playbook because I’m gonna need Neo on everything now :).

        It’d be kind of nice if I could run Ansible on an Android device. Full root backups aren’t quite the same thing since I really want to apply the settings to multiple devices, not just splat a disk image on top of things.

          Its an additional repository (source) for apps. You can add extra repositories in F-Droid settings.

          …or rather than waiting for apps to become available on F-Droid, download from Github etc & use Obtainium to let you know when app updates become available

        I tried Neo Launcher a couple of rimes in the last week specifically for the Neo Feed add on (like Google feed but user defined RSS instead of Google). Neo Feed is excellent but unfortunately Neo Launcher doesn’t allow a scrolling dock, which ive used for years with Nova Launcher.

        Anyone know of an open source launcher with an option to have a scrolling dock? Bonus points if its compatible with Neo Feed!

      Regarding mail: Have a look at “not much”. It’s main selling point is a searchable inbox. Mutt is also popular, albeit somewhat archaic looking.

    Nothing to add in terms of lists because I’ve only just gotten into FOSS. I already use DuckDuckGo to block the insane amount of tracking on the Pixel7a I bought but still disturbed by all the forced google apps. So working my way through this list replacing what I can.

    Thanks to all the people offering their suggestions and to OP for creating this convo! Freedom (from excessive tracking) is on the way.
