Nice list!
I would add RiMusic (ViMusic fork, since ViMusic haven't been updated in a long time) and maybe InnerTune

RiMusic (ViMusic fork, since ViMusic havenβt been updated in a long time)
I didn't know that! Thanks!
InnerTune also looks very promising!
whoBIRD was an interesting find
One of the most interesting apps I found.
Any mastodon client? Also can I recommend the Right apps collection from Goodwy and Voyager as Lemmy client (I think they match the requirements to figure on your list).
I thought of Mastadom but I have never used it yet and that's why no clients. Thanks for suggestions. I know about Voyager but not Right apps collectiom from Goodwy. I will add Voyager soon but I cannot find this Goodwy collection.
Great. If you search for Goodwy in Aurora for example you'll find a bunch of apps starting with "Right". Here is the list on GitHub as well: https://github.com/Goodwy
I may have additional suggestions if you're interested.
Goodwy in Aurora
Ah, I see it now. Yeah, also a good suggestion, very minimalistic guy, though. π
That's why he get me: minimalism is my motto ;)
Another suggestion: Magic Earth for navigation
Also curious to know if we'll see you on mastodon one day? (my client is Yuito btw)
This way, you get me a little hyped for these. ;)
Looks excellent and nice, but I dislike this:
Magic Earth is a closed-source mobile app providing free worldwide navigation based on OpenStreetMap data and free speed cameras in 59 countries, available for no charge.
Not open source...
However, the Privacy Policy looks nice. π
And yeah, I will be this year on Mastadon, just having a tough time with college...
Also, Yuito is the fork of Tusky. What are the advantages? I don't see Yuito on F-Droid when Tasky is.
Yeah I avoid close source as much as possible and forgot about Magic Earth. As you noticed the features and privacy policy were sufficient to me to make an exception.
For Yuito, here is the F-Droid link that also lists the difference with Tusky (which I used first).
Yeah, maybe I'll too.
Great, thanks!
I recommend QUIK SMS as an maintained fork of QKSMS. https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.octoshrimpy.quik/
Thanks! Many people insistet on deleting it and now can be replace same as Bromite and Cromite not so long ago.
Awesome list. Have you found any app for recording calls? (I live in Hungary and receive calls in Hungarian sometimes and would like to record them to translate and understand what the call was about.)
Also, I don't see anything for audiobooks. I use Smart Audiobooks, but was wondering if there are more open source options.
Thank you!
I see... quick search and I found this beauty, try it out, I haven't yet, but keep in my first sentence of it:
MOST PHONES DOES NOT SUPPORT CALL RECORDING. Blame Google or your phone manufacturer not me!
I've seen many stars coming in to this Voice Audiobook Player repository.
Thanks for the list!
Γffi (transport) shows up under the podcasts heading.
When Authy dropped their desktop app, I picked this up for 2FA: https://2fas.com/
EDIT: oops, just realized this isn't listed on f-droid...
Looks wonderful despite not being on F-Droid... I get more and more apps that are open source but not on F-Droid. It's a weird constraint now, I see... However, I wanted this list to be as DeGoogled as possible (without Aurora Store or Google Play). At least there is .apk file in releases.
I use Obtainium for all apps with no f-droid presence, I just forget which ones sometimes. It's the browser extension that makes this one great. I wanted something pretty easy after losing the convenience of Authy desktop
F-Droid has high inclusion standards (not high enough IMO but apparently too high for many Android developers). If a project isn't in F-Droid and has no interest in being in F-Droid I consider it a red flag, but it's crucial to find out if an issue has been opened and what the project's response on that issue is. Sometimes it's just because the developer(s) haven't gotten around to it yet, but other times it's because there's a proprietary component that can't be easily removed.
For example on this app (2fas) the reason it's not on F-Droid is apparently because it uses Google cloud messaging (FCM) and there's no interest in developing a version without. https://github.com/twofas/2fas-android/issues/14
Unfortunately with the security FUD against F-Droid peddled in part by PrivacyGuides and other organizations (which Obtainium and its fanbase happily help spread) there is decreasing interest even in using, let alone developing for, this repository.
Yeah, it mostly depends on the let's say GitHub issues that are maybe understandable and living without F-Droid and with this app or having a suspicion. Occasionally, what's not on F-Droid is on IzzyOnDroid. I try to have F-Droid over IzzyOnDroid, though.
No love for Cirrus?
Yes, because I haven't heard of it. π Could you elaborate?
Its a weather app. Recently renamed. Privacy friendly. No GPS needed.
Ah I starred it on GitHub. I like the RainViewer!
Probably I will add it soon, thanks. :)
Could use a video processing section
Yes right! I recently found Open Video Editor! I will test it and add soon.
I use video transcoder for quick crops and downsizing too
