  • Signal

  • vinyl for music

  • AnkiDroid for flashcards. I use it for languages, but i believe there are repositories for other subjects.

Recently id say OsmAnd~. GPX tracks are great for long bicycle trips and the drinkng water overlay is a lifesaver!

These two are now the first apps I install on any new device:

  • Kiss launcher (simple and fast)
  • Articons icon pack

Basically, my approach is to (mostly) prioritize text over icons, and reduce the colors I need to process.

Other apps:

  • Brave browser (for YouTube and built-in anti-tracking features.)
  • Librera (ebook/PDF reader with lots of features)
  • Odyssey (local music player optimized for speed. My library is so large that all the other players were having trouble finding songs.)
  • Graph 89 (TI graphing calculator emulator)
  • Feeder (RSS feed aggregator)

KDE Connect means that I can ping my phone that's usually presumably somewhere behind my bed or on a counter somewhere, without having to sheepishly walk to the nearest person and ask "can you call my phone I lost it :c"

  • Quillpad (offline notes)
  • MuPDF mini (Great simple PDF reader)
  • Unit Converter Ultimate (lots of various conversions)
  • Retro Music (fdroid repo for pro version, best music player hands down)
  • OSMAnd (Great for fancy mapping features)
  • Mull (hardened Firefox with the quickest updates of all Firefox based browsers)
  • AntennaPod (best podcast app)
  • Obtanium (install apps easily from sources such as Github)
  • Droid-ify (better fdroid)

i3. Once I got used to tiling window managers I just can't use anything else.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Syncthing is the one, I could probably replace any one but this one.
