Any other great apps on F-Droid? I'm using all of the above except AdAway and: - Orgzly: Org-mode brought to your phone. I use it for capturing TODOs and push notifications for reminders. - Revolution IRC: IRC Client - Syncthing: Syncs files between my computer and phone. Mostly used for .org files - Goodtime: Pomodoro technique time-management - Loop Habit Tracker: Track habits (reading, exercise, etc.) - Slide for Reddit: Reddit client

A selection of F-Droid apps: - AFWall+ (firewall, useful to block traffic to limit mobile data usage when I still need to enable it) - Amaze (File Manager) - AndIodine (Iodine client, use internet through wifi guarded by captive portals that still let DNS queries pass) - Barcode Scanner (scan QR and bar codes, share things through QR codes) - Clementine Remote (control the Clementine music player) - Draw (to write scores when playing games) - Easy xkcd, Simple Dilbert for comics - E numbers, OpenFoodFacts (to know what you eat) - Clip Stack, a Clipboard manager - DAVx⁵ (formerly DAVDroid), to synchronize contacts and calendars with a Nextcloud instance (or any CardDav / CalDav provider) - ForceDoze (to force the phone to really sleep when the screen is off) - Drowser (to kill chosen running apps when the screen goes off) - Document Viewer and PDF Viewer Plus to display PDFs. The former seems to segfault quite frequently but is nice when it works. - Fennec or Icecat (Firefox Mobile) - ForRunners (to keep track of running sessions, offline) - LogCat Reader (to show Android's debugging log) - LibreOffice Viewer (useful when people send office documents by mail) - K-9 Mail (Mail client) - Maps and OsmAnd (for Offline GPS), OpenVegeMap (helps finding places where to eat) - NextCloud (access files from a NextCloud instance, auto upload pictures) - OpenCamera, a nice application for taking pictures. Works better than Lineage's stock app on my phone. - oandbackup: backup data and applications. - QKSMS: a really nice SMS app that is able to synchronize with the default Android SMS app, which is important for me for backups - Riot.im (not using it at the moment though) - Red Moon, which I use to make the screen even darker (and it works well with an AMOLED screen). I don't actually use it to filter blue light. - SMS Backup +: to backup SMS and call logs to an IMAP account. I also copy files from /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/ for that, which provide a perfect backup, MMSes included. - SatStat (to debug GPS, and show a compass) - Sky Map, to see the stars and constellations. - Sound Recorder - Termux: provides a GNU/Linux like environment, and a great terminal emulator which can be used with a real GNU/Linux distribution installed in a Chroot or from SSH. - UnicodePad (look for unicode characters / emojis) - VLC (a good music and video player) - 2048, Open Flood, PipePanic (games), DroidFish (chess) XServer XSDL is a good free X11 server for Android that is unfortunately not in F-Droid but now there is an X server in F-Droid (which seems to have less features). Etar looks like a good calendar app. I've come across Wi-Fi Reminders, which can be used to display notes when connecting to a particular Wi-Fi, which seems nice and useful. There are apps to avoid leaks when using Wi-Fi. And also notes / tasks apps that I don't use regularly. TrebleShot looks nice to exchange files between devices. [edit : added oandbackup]

  Wow, this is an amazing list! Thank you for taking the time to compile it. I'll be trying a number of these out.

    There's some apps on this list which are in the regular Google Play store. OsmAnd and Google Sky Maps are ones I use from the Play store.

      OsmAnd~, free on F-Droid, is the paid version OsmAnd+ on the Play Store with unlimited map downloads and probably other features. Which does not prevent from donating to OsmAnd. I didn't know Sky Map is a former Google app! Most apps on my list are probably on the Play Store indeed :-)

  If we're making an F-Droid list and checking it twice: - FreeOTP+ for 2FA - Wireguard for use with Mullvad VPN - AnkiDroid flashcards - AntennaPod for podcasts - Telegram for messaging - Twidere twitter client Plus a few already noted above.

    Anki is amazing, highly recommended. I use it to study everything from human languages to programming languages. If it were not for Ankidroid, I would be satisfied with a dumb phone.

  How does Firefox Klar differ to Firefox Focus? Edit: Looks like it is actually available on the Play store and not an F-Droid exclusive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.klar&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.kl...

    It's just the German version of Focus, and I think it has one minor feature removed because of German law or something. I use it because it sounds cooler and I like FDroid.
