What is your favourite #fdroid app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! [@fdroid](https
What is your favourite #fdroid app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! [@fdroid](https
@kirschner #AntennaPod for Podcasts, #Fedilab for Mastodon and Fediverse, #Transistor for my daily #Dlf radio needs, #Aegis for #2FA, the recent version of #AnkiDroid for learning via flash cards, #SimpleGalleryPro for media management. #Auxio as a simple yet nice looking audio player. #OrganicMaps as an simple alternative to the mighty #OsmAnd. #NewPipe for my video streaming needs (even though #LibreTube is a very fine alternative when it exclusively comes to #YouTube), #Quillpad for taking notes, #KeePassDX as password manager. #DAVx5 to get stuff synchronized, #FairEmail as email client. #Feeder for my RSS feed needs. And finally the still new #FDroidBasic client allowing automatic updates of installed apps.
Recently tried out #SimpleX messenger and like it quite a bit so far. @fdroid
7and #Broccoli for recipes collection. It works great ❤️
1@cryptgoat
Thank you for the great list. Did not yet try out Aegis and Auxio. And one question in case you use it: Is the #nextcloud sync for quillpad working reliable?
@fdroid1@kirschner @fdroid Sorry for getting back to you so late, haven't been trying the Nextcloud-Sync yet but will do.

Not an everyday favorite but a potential life-saver: EtchDroid for creating bootable Linux USB drives. Allowed me to fix a laptop which wasn't booting in the middle of a holiday.

Thank you. I agree, great list of apps!
@fdroid1
@kirschner @fdroid ImagePipe to strip off Meta data from images and öffi since years one of the best apps for German public transport
(It's hard to share links to f droid apps from the app itself...)
3Is it better than DB app?
1@salman Öffi can navigate you through all public transport and doesn't track you, so in a way, yes. It's amazing - try it! @guerda @kirschner @fdroid

@kirschner
For offline non-tracking maps:
@organicmaps or #osmand3@kirschner
My Expenses, NewPipe, Open Note Scanner, Catima, ConnectBot, Earmouse, FairEmail, KeePassDX, SicMu Player, Street Complete, Termux, VLC, Wikipedia and those are just my favourites
@fdroid3Ever hear of KiwiX? You can use it to browse Wikipedia articles without data. It also works with some other sites as well
1@kirschner
To use the smartphone's camera as a scanner, with the convenience of having pictures converted into 1bit depth (B/W with no grey scale), lightening them a lot.
@fdroid1
@kirschner @fdroid SuperFreezZ to auto click force stop apps (via accessibility) that still running even it didn't show in recent apps screen.
3@BanditRun90s
Thanks for that. Did not know about it.
@fdroid1
@kirschner
Tor browser, due to heavy traffic, sometimes becomes slow & due to security reasons could not load the websites. Mull able to load such websites quickly.

@kirschner
#Satstat will show how well your GPS works, and all the sensors in your phone. Like, I used it to check magnetic fields when fixing some electronics
@fdroid2@notsoloud
Interesting to hear about that use of Satstat. Thanks.
@fdroid1Also, Phyphox for access to various sensor data in graph form.

Obtainium. For all those cool apps you find on GitHub, GitLab, FDroid, Izzy, APKPure, and more. In some cases you can add your own links and it'll try to scrape them for APKs for app updates
2@Jailbrick3d This is not (yet?) available in #Fdroid is it?
0You can get it if you've enabled the IzzyOnDroid repo

My favorite:
-------------------
NewPipe
https://newpipe.netAll Pro versions of Simple Mobile Tools are also available free of charge on FDroid.
2@kirschner@mastodon.social @fdroid@lemmy.ml Not just one app but the group of apps from simple mobile tools. No unnecessary permissions, easy to use, good functionality and a clean uniform UI make them really usable.
https://www.simplemobiletools.com/2@kirschner
It's NewPipe and ViMusic for me
@fdroid2@kirschner@mastodon.social @fdroid@lemmy.ml Not just one app but the group of apps from simple mobile tools. No unnecessary permissions, easy to use, good functionality and a clean uniform UI makes then really usable.

Use #transportr most days to find public transport in Denmark.It can connect to other databases, so might work in your area?
@fdroid1@notsoloud
Yes, works here. I was already a alpha tester in the early ages of the app. @grote has done great work there!!
@fdroid1
@kirschner
#Radiodroid gives you easy access to tons of netradios worldwide.Curious about foreign music?

1@A10 Thanks! KDEconnect can be really powerful.
1Some useful features I use, clipboard sharing. File sharing, media controls, remote input, PC shortcuts sleep, brightness Ctrl.

@kirschner @fdroid for me, probably the most useful (after maps which has already been covered) is mail. I would recommend https://k9mail.app/.
I use it for work daily and it gets updated regularly.
1@kirschner @fdroid I'll try harder then :)
#Owncloud client https://owncloud.com/
We use it to connect to our own server for storing receipts, plane tickets, company documentation etc. It's great to keep things synced between devices.A similar thing is #syncthing, which is cross platform although I don't have a use case for it at the moment, sadly. https://syncthing.net
