Open source apps: Termux, Tusky, NewPipe, F-Droid, an old Android app called Pandoroid that still works (for now), All of the Fossify Apps.

Proprietary apps: Duolingo, Google Maps, Discord, WhatsApp. The last two are mainly to keep in touch with family and friends.

Those are all of the ones I can think of for now.

@jcrabapple Foreca, STRAVA, PlugShare, KeePassDroid, Rome2Rio

@jcrabapple my mindless timewaster is "Best Fiends"
Ballz is another game that wastes well

RadarX for quick n simple weather radar

Podcast Addict for well, the obvious

#Android

@jcrabapple OpenTracks (activity tracking), eBird, Merlin (bird identification), NewPipe, Termux, Tusky, Spotube, Lichess.

PWA: Miniflux (RSS reader), Pixelfed

@jcrabapple as far as I know I have no PWA's on my phone.

My most used apps aside from Google's stuff (gmail, messages, calendar, maps, youtube) are probably Firefox, Libby, Podcast Addict, Mastodon (official client), Orgzly, and Discord.

Also have a bunch of other stuff installed...

@jcrabapple
- @trunksapp (I have the app installed on my phone but I also use the #PWA on my laptop)
- Sync for Lemmy
- Obsidian
- Fluffy Chat
- AnkiDroid
- https://wormhole.app/ (A great solution to share files between #iOS and #Android)

@jcrabapple

Total Commander (there is an fdroid repo)
I like and use a lot of the OSM apps
URL forwarder is useful for lots of little things
Gadgetbridge

Really, the only shit app I have is Teams. That's not me being anti-big-tech. The app is a pain in the ass and many of my colleagues just have so much trouble with it that it ends up being a timesuck

@jcrabapple ReVanced Manager needs to be highlighted.

It's the tool for applying the ReVanced patches to YouTube sure, but it also patches a lot of other apps like Twitter and TikTok too.

@jcrabapple Tusky, K-9 Mail, Gurgle, Gridle, Markor, OsmAnd, KDE Connect, NextCloud, Davx5, Fossify Calendar, wX

@jcrabapple NewPipe, AntennaPod, the entire Fossify suite, Joplin, Aegis

@jcrabapple Ooh, here are mine:

• Moshidon for Mastodon (official app + lots of features)
• Signal
• Plexamp
• Home Assistant
• Firefox

• Keyguard for Bitwarden
• JuiceSSH
• OctoApp (3D printer)

• Pocket Casts
• OneTracker (package tracking)
• retroPod (because iPod)

@jcrabapple

- Öffi (independent public transport timetable)
- termux (linux shell)

@jcrabapple A bit niche, but #NewRecruit is a much better list-builder than the official 40K app, and actually maintained, unlike Battlescribe... 😹

@jcrabapple
Some highlights:
* Stellarium - to know what stars I'm looking at
* DigiCal - for customizable calendar widgets (paid)

@jcrabapple Unlauncher

@jcrabapple For me it is Spark email. You do not realize how awful gmail has become for managing the vast amounts of newsletters and promotional email until you switch back to it from Spark.

@jcrabapple

The only app I need: The Battle of Polytopia

@jcrabapple

- Signal
- Osmand+
- Transportr

Pixel PO (TE Pocket Operator groove box app)
Bitwarden (password locker)
Libby (Library card ebook/audiobook access)
Tusky (fediverse access)

@jcrabapple weird choice.. But I really like the met office weather app. It has rain radar for the previous 6 hours which is super helpful for finding a likely window to go for a run.

- Nextcloud + @davx5app + Etar
- Heliboard (Openboard on steroids, great keyboard)
- QUIK (active QKSMS fork)
- Shelter

@jcrabapple
The ones I use the most would be #Vivaldi, #FairEmail and #Moshidon, followed by YR weather app.

Like the most would be #OrganicMaps, #NewPipe and #VLC, with #fdroid as a both yes and no, because the app itself is annoying to use (half of which is probably Android limitations), but I wouldn't want to depend on Google.

@jcrabapple
I try to get all my Android apps from F-Droid.

Favourites include:
Tusky, Telegram, LibreOffice Viewer, Binary Eye (bar code scanner), Open Tracks, FOSS Browser, Librera Reader, 1List & VLC
