Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! ๐Ÿคฉ

Browser list doesn't include Firefox?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just because it's not on the list it does not mean it's bad :) Also there are Firefox forks like Mull, Iceraven and Fennec

Very customizable. :)

Firefox isn't FOSS. It requires proprietary APIs like Google Safe browsing and others. See the Fennec's deblobbing scripts and build repo for a more details: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild

Yeah, that is why I mostly have Firefox's forks and even on my desktop I much prefer LibreWolf instead of Firefox.

Any mastodon client? Also can I recommend the Right apps collection from Goodwy and Voyager as Lemmy client (I think they match the requirements to figure on your list).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I thought of Mastadom but I have never used it yet and that's why no clients. Thanks for suggestions. I know about Voyager but not Right apps collectiom from Goodwy. I will add Voyager soon but I cannot find this Goodwy collection.

Also this goes to show that F-droid needs a rating system IMO ๐Ÿซ

Calling the anti-features indicator a rating system is a biiiiiit of a stretch.
