Edit: Fixed link
Second obtainium. I had been looking for an app that does what it does exactly – was super happy to find it and have it work pretty well.
For some reason the Obtainium link does not work in mobile, but this one without index .html does: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/
Thank you. I am not sure how that only ended up on that link.
Antennapod is so damn good!
I love syncthing. So convenient for transferring files between windows, android, and MacOS. Platform agnostic is the best.
Obtanium is awesome too for simplifying the process of updating apks from github.
DAVx5 came bundled with e/OS when I changed over but I’ve had no luck getting it going and I struggle to follow the guide. Would you happen to know of like an idiot’s guide to getting started with it? Or could someone perhaps briefly summarise how to get going with it?
Bitwarden. There’s no excuse not to use a password manager.
Single point of failure for all my usernames and passwords? No thanks
I used to think like that and only used
pass. Then I stopped worrying and decided to trust the crypto.You can keep your 2FA tokens in a separate app.
1List is the best list-making app I’ve tried that’s open source. Really polished and quick.

Along those same lines, Notally is the best note taking app I’ve tried.
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.omgodse.notally/
And since someone else mentioned Voyager, I’ll mention Eternity as well!
https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/
Lastly, Weawow is the best weather app I’ve used, though Quickweather on f-droid is a close second (but requires an API key to work, so bit of a hassle to set up).

I like the look of both of these but do you know a way to sync them with a PC?
I don’t believe so. The only options I see in the settings is the ability to export and import lists and notes manually with a file.
You can use Syncthing (the fork on FDroid is better) and Obsidian (for the notes). You can also use obsidian services (might be paid) for the sync but its easy enough to do yourself.
Here is my list :
- Fossify gallery https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ 2.Eternity https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/ 3.url check https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker 4.Breezy weather https://f-droid.org/packages/org.breezyweather/ 5.Clayx os dialer (i took it from clayxos fdroid repo) https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/platform_packages_apps_Dialer 6.Heli board https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/ 7.Moshidon https://f-droid.org/packages/org.joinmastodon.android.moshinda/ 8.Tubular https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.polymorphicshade.tubular
- Markor https://f-droid.org/packages/net.gsantner.markor/
- Obtainium https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/
- Droid-ify https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/ There is a lot more
Is there an apk for the dialer?
Yes. You can install droid-ify and add calyx os repo named "The calyx Institute Fdroid repo (testing) . And search for Dialer and directly install it from there
What’s your favourite free Android app?
All of these
Termux, a terminal emulator
Indispensable.
What do you use it for?
Running useful CLI programs. A non exhaustive list:
- ssh
- Operating remote machines over ssh
- Port forwarding to remote machines
- iperf
- ping
- nmap
- pandoc
- ssh
Quillpad https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.quillpad/
It’s a nice simple Google keep replacement.
Most likely F-Droid.

Librera (ebook reader): https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/ . The pro version is free on f-droid, or you can buy it on Google Play if you want to support the dev.
Fossify Gallery: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ . This is a fork of the old Simple Gallery from before it got bought out. Same deal with Fossify File Manager and the other Fossify apps. Just no-nonsense functional apps.

Does it do OPDS for Calibre integration? I don’t see that in the features.
I don’t use this feature much so I can’t speak to the details, but yes, it does support OPDS.
Screenshot:
I might give it a try then, Calibre library support builtin is a dealbreaker for me and it wasn’t obvious in the description.
Thanks.
Musicolet, the only local player that I know allowing to switch between playlists and albums without losing each last played songs
Anytype - open source note taking app, similar to Obsidian.
Vampire Survivors - addictive game without intrusive ads
fcitx5 for android, basically gboard without Google service
Jota Text Editor, Connect for Lemmy, google translate for live translation
