More up-to-date build of f-droid. Make sure to add some repos!

https://forum.f-droid.org/t/known-repositories/721

Get apps directly from source. Only from trusted developers! Useful for apps that are not released on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid.

Use the Blocklist to only update apps that are only on Google Play. Currently broken, they might be able to fix this. Way less invasive than Sandboxed Play

Patch proprietary or open source apps to change their permissions, increase privacy or crack locked features. Very good patches: https://github.com/Nai64/Nai64Patches

Fantastic and small, split apks, normal apks and icon support

Install split APK files!

highly flexible and lightweight keyboard, no autocorrect yet

Less customizable than FlorisBoard but with autocorrect

Hardened Firefox, supports UBlockOrigin, BypassPaywallsClean and many more addons that make the web more private and endurable. Less secure than Vanadium, but using UBlockOrigin in "expert mode" you can block certain javascript entirely, opt-in.

very secure but not very private. good for progressive webapps (PWAs) you can place on the screen. This avoids installing apps which have way more access over private information

Modern and customizable gallery, has nearly all features of Fossify-Gallery and is WAY faster. Can be used as Gallery for "GCam Service Provider"

Still the most features like mass-renaming images, but pretty old and slow

Material Design file manager for Android.

Calculator with lots of conversions

A totally free of cost and ads PDF documents reader.

Enterprise-ready on-premise suite with advanced word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation tools, maximizing interoperability and file compatibility.

OSMAnd~ from F-Droid, log in with your OpenStreetMap account and contribute!

Fork of OrganicMaps, way faster and simpler than OSMAnd but less features.

Combination of offline and OpenStreetMap-powered maps with Google Maps info, ratings, pictures and traffic data. Slightly more privacy friendly than Google maps but debatable.

The best password manager if you synchronise it with syncthing or another method. For "set and forget" use Bitwarden (but keep in mind that it might enshittify any time, this one will not)

for using your secure element or external keys for passkeys/fido2/webauthn/u2f

Pkpass wallet, will hopefully soon support storing and using your existing credit card digitally. No tokenization, less secure than Google Pay but more secure than a physical card and works on deviced without Google Malware.

simple music player with support for .m3u playlists which theoretically can be synced to a linux PC with Syncthing. Doesn't work that well in practice, you might want to have a look at Navidrome.

way fancier music player, no support for regular .m3u playlist files.

very simple app, can be used to get lyrics to then embed in song files with your favourite music player

A free and open source podcastmanager for Android, allowing you to subscribe to podcasts (via iTunes database & OPML), automatically download episodes using powerful mechanisms and listen to them the way you like (speed, balance adjustments, etc).

YTDLnis is a free and open source video/audio downloader using yt-dlp for Android 6.0 and above.

You just add your main audiobook folder and every folder in there will be recognised as a single book. That keeps your library simple and tidy.

efficient video player

Discover youtube music with way less tracking. Use "YTDLnis" to download to your device

cross platform video player, supports Odysee, Peertube, Dailymotion and way more, helps reduce the dependence on YouTube.

Combine with "OpenKeyChain" for PGP support.

Alternative to Thunderbird Android. Most features are paid for but it has slightly more. For advanced users.

PGP for Android. Not only useful for email end-to-end encryption, but also for using "encrypted inbox" which some providers like mailbox.org offer

simple and elegant local calendar. Needs DavX5 and ICSx5 or syncing

sync adapter for calendars, contacts and storage. Can also mount WebDAV storage really well, like a Nextcloud drive.

Fantastic new calendar application with native sync capabilities for most common providers. Use Fossify Calendar if you dont need sync.

Send files over LAN. Also works if you connect to another phone via hotspot, then it is very fast.

connect with a Windows or Linux laptop, remote control, presentations, TV remote and more!

The official Syncthing App is not maintained anymore. Works really well to synchronize files between devices, no cloud needed

send stuff to people anywhere in the world.

Better for sharing multiple files

When using multiple user profiles

offline, best photo quality

good app, nice QR code scanner but worse photos which are also bigger

good looking weather app with a lot of sources

open source emergency alerts

Best data in Germany
