Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don’t know it.
It’s insane how many services sell file synchronisation as a premium feature when syncthing can do it for free and no one seems to use it
Paperless-ngx that allows you to self host an easily browseable archive of your documents. Fully featured with OCR, ML-powered categorization and the works.
Immich. Just found out about it, still gotta try, but looks good, an app that allows you to configure a Google Photos like app locally hosted, with automatic phone backups
KDEConnect - I use it on Windows and android phone. Very nice when you get security codes or links on phone, want to send files or when I want to control audio|video and I watch from the couch.
in general: Fdroid nearly always has a more feature rich and performant alternative
yunohost it’s basically an os that easily lets you selfhost, by having an extremely big amount of selfhosted services packaged with scripts that autonatically set everything up and all of that trough a clear and modern web interface.
TrailSense, an easy to use, comprehensive wilderness tool.
The goals of the developer are fun to consider:
Goals
-
Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire app usable when there is no Internet connection
-
Features must provide some benefits to people using the app while hiking, in a survival situation, etc.
-
Features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as guides
-
Features must be based on peer-reviewed science or be verified against real world data
Likewise, the features being developed under those goals are great for getting outside:
Features
- Designed for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching
- Place beacons and navigate to them
- Follow paths
- Retrace your steps with backtrack
- Use a photo as a map
- Plan what to pack
- Be alerted before the sun sets
- Predict the weather
- Use your phone for astronomy
- And more
How does the metal detector work? I’ve never heard of a phone being able to do that.
It uses the magnetic field sensor on the phone (compass). It can only detect magnetically active metals and also kinda weakly, but it’s quite fun!

VSCodium is the open source part of VSCode, so I prefer to use that.
Mull is firefox on android without the proprietary parts. Heliboard is a good android keyboard.
Ruffle: You may not know it but most old Flash games (and basically every anmiation) can be played again with this, modern and in a Browser sandbox. Website owners can include it in the backend with a few lines of code and all flash games work again automatically, and it’s also available as desktop app :D
LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.
My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.
Jitsi - Open-source and self-hosted video conference platform. You can even try it directly on their website.
IPFS - A distributed file sharing technology which is wonderful for file or site hosting (edit: wether it is uncensorable is open for debate)
Rust - A programming language and a powerful compiler that creates compiled memory-safe programs and can be used nearly everywhere
Fedora + KDE - A combination of a stable modern OS and a complete desktop environment
Wine - launch Windows programs on the latter

Bonus : AlternativeTo to find good open-source alternative software
PostmarketOS to actually own your phone.
KepassXC for PC and KeepassDX for Android phones.
I personally would recommend it over Bitwarden since with Bitwarden you NEED internet to access your passwords, and even if is open source, i canmot trust it, security breaches can happen in any time, having your vault locally stored helps a lot.
There are more but i can’t Remember them right now.
I just tried because you made me doubt, but you can access your passwords offline with bitwarden. Your argument about trusting a third party is far more pertinent, i’m choosing to trust them but thats really my choice. It is also a limited trust: even in a case of a data breach, bitwarden is encrypted end-to-end with your password, even if someone gets access to your data they wont be able to read it without your master key.
OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.
OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.
Thanks for making me feel like an idiot for not knowing things after age 30.
