Here are a few of my faves:

  • Breezy Weather - Nice weather app.
  • Diatronome - Tuner, metronome, and synth
  • NewPipe / NeuTube - I haven’t found my fave tube app.
  • Suntimes - Information and widgets about the sun and moon.

I’m just looking for some recommendations. It’s difficult browsing through apps with F-Droid. Thanks!

    Aegis - an authenticator app.
    CoMaps - like Google or apple maps
    ConnectBot - let’s me ssh into my PC and laptop from my phone, that’s nice for me if I just need to do something quick and am in another room.
    FluffyChat - this is the matrix client I prefer, other than sending video, that sucks with this one.
    Léon - this cleans up URLs to remove the tracking stuff.
    Seal - this downloads videos or audio files. I use it because I like to download videos i send people, instead of just sending them a link.
    Shelter - this clones apps to a work profile on your phone, which somewhat limits what those apps have access to from your standard profile.

    If you like newpipe checkout tubular, it’s a fork that adds some improvements.

    Qr scanner. I like that it saves a history of scanned QRs and shows you a warning that scanning qrs can be dangerous

    Money wallet, to keep track of expenses

    Joplin, for note taking

    Addy.io, for anonymous emails aliases

    Shelter, let’s you create a work profile to keep things separated on your phone

    Thunderbird, email reading

    Seeneva, to read comics

    I geocache and hike a lot so there’s one app that is fantastic for this, c:geo. I can import my trail map via gpx format, highlight the route, and download the geocahes before I hop on the trail.

    I’ve also been messing around with Trail Sense, a lot of various tools for hiking. It has stuff like satellite tracking and an astronomy tool for finding where the stars and constellations are.

    For exercising, I use an interval timer, I find Timer does this the best

    Hey, great post, really interesting to read other people’s app recommendations.

    The ones that I use frequently are:

    Material Files - I use this solely to access/browse my local NAS

    SimpleReminder - Super quick and easy to set reminders without needing go into my calendar and create a new event etc

    Thanks :)

    TrackerControl for blocking apps from connecting to the internet

    Simple apps for Gallery and File Browser

    Markor for mardown note taking

    JustPlayer for watching videos

    I’ve yet to find a good music player, since f-droid’s search sucks - it only searches in the name and short description. I’ve tried Apollo and Odyssey, but neither has a fucking folder whitelist/blacklist setting and end up filled with audio from telegram and whatsapp. Also, most players completely ignore .opus format

      Auxio

    I just installed PlugBrain yesterday. It gives you increasingly difficult math tasks every x minutes the longer you use Social Media / addicting apps.

      Same, I didn’t know why but it’s actually working as a journal better than any other app I’ve tried for me. Maybe just feeling like it’s not going to try to sell me something or steal my data.
