Awesome Android Apps
AAA
Hi all,
for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:
Rules
- Open Sourced
- Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
- Free as in Freedom
- Ad-free
- Installed and tested by me or by contributor
- Privacy-friendly aware
- Easy to use
- Still in development or polished experience
- Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
- Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
- Has dark theme
...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.
I hope you will find it useful! π€©
Whobird under AI, nice.
Might be good to add descriptions for a lot of these also, I'm not sure what a lot of them do.
Browsers could list more than Brave.
But... there is more than Brave. :)
- 2 Firefox based
- 2 Chromium based
"Early bird alarm clock" has it under the repeat menu you can set a date/dates for alarms.
Is it on F-Droid?
Sorry, looked for it but I guess it is not open source :( I tried many apps and this one was the only one I found with a date alarm schedulde. weird how such a basic feature is so rare. Maybe try some tasks apps that have alarms? Please let us know if you find something useful
Anyone got a suggestion for a clock app that lets me set an alarm for say three days from now? They all seem to only let you set it for the next time that time comes around, or on repeat. Is that an OS limitation?
I don't think it's Open Source (sorry) and it does have (non intrusive, can prob be blocked) ads in the Freemium, but Sleep As Android by Urbandroid has this and much more. I bought an unlocker years ago and have not looked back.I didn't read the rules. My bad.
Sometimes we find those gems. I know, for example about Niagara Launcher that is not open source but excellent. Just the original author wants to keep this app for himself. Also, nothing wrong with it same for making money with open-source apps. Yet, I intend to be FOSS and that's all.
I'm not OP and not trying to get things added to the list so don't mind suggestions that don't meet OP's criteria, but I would prefer something open source if possible.
But now you mention it, I think I may have bought Sleep as Android many years ago, so I might still consider it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately I do not have an app. I deal with this by adding an entry in my calender with a notitication. It's annoying but works
I do this currently for far off things but a notification doesn't really replace a screaming alarm.
Nice! Thanks a lot, found some I hadn't heard of before
Glad to hear that! That was the main purpose of this list. :) And that is why I need contributors so maybe they found or heard something that I have not.
Ok, here's my contribution

Hey, good use of AI on that one! I love whoBIRD!Yeah, I tried it and is awesome! Not 100% FOSS, but at least the app is as FOSS as possible. I would like to add more apps to "AI" category.
@Psyhackological
Just an FYI, the current non-GPlay version of Medito is broken. I've been using Bodhi Timer for years, though, and can recommend it as a basic mediation timer.
For AI, you could add SDAI FOSS
Awesome π₯³
Thanks! π
Fritter as a client for Twitter ? Lol this app doesn't work for long time. Squacker is the only available option today but unfortunately they use Twitter API instead of Nitter that was shut down

You can also specify whether the app supports Android's Material Design or Material You
Yeah but it's hit or miss. But I like the idea. Sometimes apps just name themselves with prefix of "Material".
Cashew is another great, and even my favourite, finance/money/budget managment app.
Looks great, thanks!
