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.
I hope you will find it useful! 🤩
Ok, here’s my contribution
Selfhosted
Wallabag - Save and classify articles, read them later, freely
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/fr.gaulupeau.apps.InThePoche/
Gelli - Native music player for Jellyfin
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dkanada.gramophone/
Ntfy - Send notifications to your phone from any script using PUT/POST requests

Clipious - Client for Invidious, the privacy focused YouTube front end.

Thanks!
I would like your contribution to be in Pull Request, nonetheless I will comment on what you suggested ;)
- Wallabag - I know it and used it, but through official wallabag instance, I never self-hosted it. Did you?
- Gelli - looks cool, but last commit was 10 months ago compared to official Jellyfin app which commit was 7 hours ago.
- Ntfy - that looks astonishing for automation. Where would you put it, under what category?
- Clipious - already added. ;)
- Linkdy - looks nice, but Privacy Policy is meh and I need a IzzyOnDroid or F-Droid link. Otherwise, I cannot add it.
- LT-app - looks cool but yet again I don’t see F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid link. I want my list to be 100% FOSS compatible with F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid repos.
- Wallabag, yes i selfhost it and use it every day!
- Gelli, didn’t realise that, i guess it does everything it has to do for me, no complaints or bugs that i know of :)
- Ntfy, i use it exclusively for my selfhosted apps, but i can imagine broader usage. But still i would file it under selfhosting ;)
- Linkdy, hmm, you’re making me second guess the app
- LT, shame, it’s really good. But I understand
- Great! It should come from you (PR), however, because I don’t :/
- Yeah, that also works, so maybe I will add it :)
- Hmm, well self-hosting and automation are really close, especially when you have your own cloud… as a sys cloud admin, I know a thing or two about it.
- On my GrapeheneOS you can disable access to network, but still app looks cool and you can inspect the code but it takes time to tell if something spooky is going on.
- Maybe in the future. ;)
