    Sorted them into a few categories

    Social

    • Cheogram - xmpp chat, can also handle phone and sms gateways

    • Fedilab - my preferred fediverse app for mastodon

    • Jerboa - preferred lemmy app

    • K-9 Mail - email

    • Pixelix - pixelfed app. not sure if I like this or PixelDroid better yet

    Media

    • AntennaPod - podcasts

    • Kiwix - offline copies of useful wikis, q&as, archives, etc.

    • Librera FD - books

    • NewPipe - watch youtube videos, although google keeps trying to break it

    • Voice - audiobooks

    Security

    • Aegis - two factor authentication

    • KeePassDX - password management

    • WG Tunnel - VPN connection, still not sure if this is the best option

    Notes and Documents

    • Orgzly Revised - note taking. for people not familiar with emacs something like logseq or safe notes might be better

    • Pinkt - bookmarks

    • Syncthing-Fork - synchronize files between devices

    System

    • F-Droid - technically it can install itself

    • Lawnchair - alternative home screen / app launcher

    • ntfy - runs in the background, handles push notifications for some other apps

    • Unexpected Keyboard - has the fancy keys that most android keyboards leave out

    Other Tools

    • Fennec - basically firefox

    • Organic Maps - sometimes missing info and it doesn’t have traffic data. simpler than OsmAnd

    • PocketPaint - make art on your phone

    • QuickDict - offline multi-language dictionary

    I’ve got hundreds more installed, but those are some of my favorites.

    Others here have already mentioned most of the ones I use.

    Some that are less common are

    • The Fossify suite of apps
    • Eternity for Lemmy browsing
    • Spotube for music streaming
    • OsmAnd for navigation
    • Converter NOW for conversions

    The most useful one though is probably Syncthing. It lets you synchronise folders between your devices.

    I’d like to add Broccoli as a database for cooking recipes. It is very convenient, as it extracts the relevant data out of most SEO-inflated webpages.

        Nothing exciting I’m afraid - a few football related feeds (Guardian & Telegraph are solid for football stories, usually interesting articles rather than made up transfer horseshit) plus some general news headlines/generic/“top stories” type feeds & a couple of tech bits like Ars Technica.

        It’s on F-Droid if you load their repo. Also it’s open source but I understand some people don’t like their license.

          It’s on F-Droid if you load their repo.

          It is not allowed in F-Droid’s official repos because it is not open source; anyone can run their own F-Droid repo and distribute proprietary software from it.

          Also it’s open source but I understand some people don’t like their license.

          It is not open source; that is a term with an internationally recognized definition. Even FUTO themselves now acknowledge it is not.

          I think they mean it’s technically not a ‘FOSS’ app, but instead a ‘source-available’ app.

          There license strips you of your freedoms. It is not free (libre) or open source. You can fork it but there are arbitrary restrictions that take away your rights.
