Let’s build a useful collection of must-have F-Droid apps!
KDE Connect! Share files, clipboard, links from one device to another, use your phone as a mouse or laser pointer.
Tabs Lite let’s you search for songs, fetches lyrics and tabs, chords from the web and stores them offline on your device. You can organize all the songs in playlists as well.
Hum I get a 404 page not found and f droid can’t find it as well.
Metro - A Music Player For Android
Very, very nice music app for those with a local library.
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker
url checker works as your mobiles default browser to easily edit links before opening them in a browser of your choice, I love this thing, I have given up trying to tell people about url hygene
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dnsfilter.android/ personalDNSfilter. DNS proxy filter. You can use your favorite block lists to block ads and trackers in a browser but also in most any other app. You can add your own rules and it doesn’t need root.
FindMyDevice. Alternative to Google’s find my device. You send a text from a different phone number, and you can do things like get the GPS location, lock the device, erase the device, ring the device, or have the device take a picture of its location.
Yikes
I agree. Ability for a third party phone text to wipe my phone? No thanks
You can configure which features you want to have enabled. I have this running with just the gps locate functionaly enabled in case I misplace my phone or my wife wants to check to see if I’m almost home yet or something.
Red Moon. Blue light filter for screen. Makes it less hurting for eyes to use phone at night, or generally in dark.
https://codeberg.org/svewa/MedicalCalendarLog
I use this every day to keep track of my medication, remind me of stuff I want to do regularly (measure weight, take specific meds but also chores). Disclaimer: I’m the author, could not find anything alike.
That looks cool, though I can’t seem to find the “releases” section to download the apk…
I’ve been looking for a tracking app to replace one I use called Tickmate. It’s so old and needs upgrades, but I’ve been using it for years and can’t seem to find a better replacement
CoMaps. Google Maps alternative. Can save paths and do navigation with TTS. Gets its data from the amazing OpenStreetMap.
Why use this app instead of OsmAnd?
I was a long time OsmAnd user, I loved that app. After a couple of years I realized, I really liked the cusomizability, but in the end, I use like 5% of it’s features. I gave Organic Maps a try (now Co Maps after some community drama) and it was love at first sight. It’s the opposite is OsmAnd, a lightweight and super simple app to look for places and navigation. I miss like one, maybe two features, but I the usability is great and I won’t look back.
For me, I have both of them.
co-maps I use when I need to add a place to open street map, and OSMAND I use for features that co-maps doesn’t have.
Basically, co-maps is easier to use for things that it can do and OSMAND is harder to use but can do more things/different things.
I use davx5 to sync my caldav calendar (radicale) with my Android.
This helps with Apple Calendar too so you can share with Google Calendar or some other
yeah, this one is less known and most useful
Mindustry: one of the few great games on f-droid (tower defense)
Mindustry is a great FOSS game, period. There’s also Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
And pirate solitaire
osmand~ – frontend to openstreetmap with included pathfinder.
URLCheck Share a URL to this app to preview it before opening, sharing or copying. It also has multiple neat features, like
- removing trackers
- quickly removing URL parts and extracting encoded text e.g. to skip redirection
- custom rewrites; can be applied automatically
I second this, one of my most used apps
That’s one of the first app I install after installing F droid every time I format my device
Droid-ify Way better F-Droid Client with many Repos Out of the box
Neostore is great too
Or, if one wants to go the minimalist, smallest threat footprint way, one can go in the other direction and use F-Droid Classic. Think a debloated F-Droid, made by the F-Droid folks.
Yikes
