All of these list are great as we discover new apps each time.

But, I would suggest to write what is the app about.

I use KDE Connect as a media remote and to transfer files between my phone and computers. It has quite a few other functions, like remote mouse control, sms, seems to share clipboards as well.

Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases

Not sure about the rest of those, but Obsidian isn’t OS either.

Suggestion For OP

OP You should use Florisboard beta it’s good and also Obsidian is not open source.

I’d recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it’s hardened.

It’s basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile

THANK YOU for antennapod!!! What an incredibly beautiful app, I’m so impressed!!

Tey heliboard. I known you posted a long time ago

Anyone uses InnerTune?

Obsidian isn’t FOSS

Love Aegis and Bitwarden, but here’s another one that’s a must if you’re on stock android:

NetGuard

Blocks network access for apps and processes on your phone, great way to ensure apps aren’t calling home all the time.

I use a few apps from the SimpleMobileTools suite. They aren’t full FOSS, they have basic and pro versions where the basic version is GPL3 and the proprietary extended features cost a few bucks. The basic FOSS tools are still decent, if barebones.

The suite includes:

• a calculator
• a phone dialer
• a music player
• a calendar
• a photo gallery (with basic editor)
• an audio recorder
• a flashlight
• a clock
• an app launcher
• an SMS messenger
• a camera
• a keyboard
• a note taker
• a file manager
• a contact book
• a simple painting canvas

I use the gallery and file manager the most. Though admittedly I threw a couple bucks their way for the proprietary extensions. It’s not FOSS, but if it was going to be proprietary, I think it’s one of the fairest deals in software these days. Better than another bloody subscription model, or holding the ad-free experience hostage behind a paywall.
