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! 🤩
The stock one can do it and others on the list. Let’s say I want 11 AM at Tuesday - 3 days from now.
- New alarm
- 11 AM
- Tuesday only
That’s it.
Yes this is what I do currently, however, there are two issues with this.
First, sure it will wake me up on Tuesday. But it will also wake me up the following Tuesday, and the one after that.
But secondly, the main problem is that I can’t set an alarm for Tuesday the 3rd of September, when I have something important that I don’t forget and that justifies a screaming alarm, but it’s not within the next week so choosing to repeat each Tuesday doesn’t work.
Yeah, you need to disable this after ringing.
I understand… I had this functionality (setting alarm on the particular date) on my old OnePlus 7 Pro with stock Clock (Oxygen OS 12.1). It was awesome. You could even set an alarm, check “Ring when powered off” or something like this, and you could power off your phone and let’s say I have a 6 AM alarm, the smartphone would automatically turn on itself at 5:58ish AM. I think every Clock app is based on “AOSP” clock project, so I think it depends on implementation and maybe hardware?
It’s funny, this stuff was normal before smart phones. If you forgot to charge your phone (because you only had to do it every week or so, so you didn’t have a routine) then the alarm would still go off even if the battery died in the night.
We have some awesome new things that smart phones give us, but it’s not without compromise.
