QuillPad: It is like google keep except without Google.
Etar is straight up fantastic
+1 for:
- Syncthing
- Loop Habit Tracker
- Markor - note-taking app
- OsmAnd+ - open street map client
Obtanium - an app store that downloads apps directly from the developer’s github.
This is great. Thanks for sharing it!
Noice - White noise player! Supports brown noise (for drowning out construction sounds), as well as rain/waves/other sound loops. Helps me fall asleep in under 5 minutes each time!
Couldn’t live without white noise apps (at least when traveling). Easy Noise is solid too
Jerboa hehe.
The one niche software I have used was Meshroom. A free alternative to software that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, to take input images, use similarities between images to place them in a 3d space, and output a 3D model.
WebODM, OpenMVG and COLMAP are also open source with similar functions, but Meshroom is an easy-to-use one-stop shop for beginners to enthusiasts.
I enjoy Feeder for an rss reader.
FitoTrack: a great running/workout tracking app. It works incredibly well.
Firefox for Android is unfortunately rather niche, so, that.
Isn’t it called fennec?
The one distributed on fdroid is called fennec because it’s not an official build by mozilla, and the MPL license restricts use of their trademarks, and firefox is a registered trademark.
That’s the codename, but the app when installed simply calls itself “Firefox”.
I use the Mull build of Firefox so even more niche
Organic Maps is my go to for navigation! It even works completely offline and utilizes OpenStreetMap.
The ones that come to my mind:
Syncthing, because I’m tired of losing data by damaged hardware.
Open in whatsapp, because that damn app is really popular in Brazil, and I don’t want to add random strangers to my contacts list.
Cache cleaner, because my phone is quite limited on storage for modern usage, and I have to urgently free some space here and there.
DroidFS, to securely store my documents and avoid someone using them in case I get robbed.
Did I Take My Meds? is crucial for me.
For me it’s PDF Doc Scan. It’s lightweight, easy to use and doesn’t restrict you to specifically defined page sizes

SD Maid SE with root to keep my android devices clean.
Yes, this is great
I love Loop Habit, I use it religiously <3 Out of curiosity, is there something that you’d suggest for SMS? I was using Signal, but have been on Simple SMS ever since Signal dropped SMS support. I even used Google Messaging for a while out of a desire for P2P encryption
I am also stuck on Simple SMS. I don’t really communicate on SMS and it is just for recieving bank messages so not super important. QKSMS was a great SMS app but it is not getting active development anymore.
