BitWarden.

One of the best, if not the best password manager I’ve ever used.

Recently it’s been Obtanium, basically it allows you to add apps which are hosted on GitHub/other app sources which don’t have auto updating, and have them automatically check and offer to update!

It’s been really useful for Lemmy clients (liftoff/Jerboa)/any android apps from:

GitHub

GitLab

Codeberg

F-Droid

IzzyOnDroid

Mullvad

Signal

SourceForge

SourceHut

APKMirror (Track-Only) APKPure

Third Party F-Droid Repos

Jenkins Jobs

Steam

Telegram App

VLC

Neutron Code

“HTML” (Fallback)

@Uranium_Green @Drhype #Obtanium is one of the best options out there imo. Updates come directly from the source.

You should try out GitHub Application Manager in Linux, too 😉 https://github.com/fmstrat/gam

The only app I recommend was Obtanium, the rest of the listed things are app sources (places where open source apps are hosted, like GitHub)

Sorry if this wasn’t clear!

Syncthing

It’s a decentralized continuous file synchronization tool. It’s literally magic.

How is the battery drain for you? I’m under the impression that it destroys mine, even though I set it to only run when charging, so I often end up killing it.

Have you tried the fork? It lists one of its enhancements as ‘“Battery eater” problem is fixed.’

I’ve only ever tried the fork. I’ll try leaving it running more to see if anything changes, but I don’t have a good way to pinpoint battery hogs…

It’s running constantly for me. I’ve even disabled battery optimization. It barely consumes anything.

AntennaPod. The developers seem to have kept it to a very simple remit of just doing podcasts and doing it well.

I was looking for a file manager because I was using Google Files or whatever is called and it is way harder than it should be to access all the folders in your Downloads folder… Simple File Manager seems to work quite well for this.

Also the music app since it seems that Android has not a stock music app, or that is what it seems.
