What is your favourite #fdroid app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! @fdroid

@kirschner #AntennaPod for Podcasts, #Fedilab for Mastodon and Fediverse, #Transistor for my daily #Dlf radio needs, #Aegis for #2FA, the recent version of #AnkiDroid for learning via flash cards, #SimpleGalleryPro for media management. #Auxio as a simple yet nice looking audio player. #OrganicMaps as an simple alternative to the mighty #OsmAnd. #NewPipe for my video streaming needs (even though #LibreTube is a very fine alternative when it exclusively comes to #YouTube), #Quillpad for taking notes, #KeePassDX as password manager. #DAVx5 to get stuff synchronized, #FairEmail as email client. #Feeder for my RSS feed needs. And finally the still new #FDroidBasic client allowing automatic updates of installed apps.

Recently tried out #SimpleX messenger and like it quite a bit so far. @fdroid

Thank you for the great list. Did not yet try out Aegis and Auxio. And one question in case you use it: Is the #nextcloud sync for quillpad working reliable?

@kirschner @fdroid Sorry for getting back to you so late, haven’t been trying the Nextcloud-Sync yet but will do.

Not an everyday favorite but a potential life-saver: EtchDroid for creating bootable Linux USB drives. Allowed me to fix a laptop which wasn’t booting in the middle of a holiday.

@hexaquo @fdroid Thank you. That might indeed save me some time in future.

Thanks. Did not know about Open Note Scannwr, for what are you using it?

To use the smartphone’s camera as a scanner, with the convenience of having pictures converted into 1bit depth (B/W with no grey scale), lightening them a lot.

Ciao Gabriele! Thank you for this suggestion, the only problem is that this app, I’ve seen, that has no longer been updated. Does it still work fine?

Ever hear of KiwiX? You can use it to browse Wikipedia articles without data. It also works with some other sites as well
