Here are a few of my faves:

  • Breezy Weather - Nice weather app.
  • Diatronome - Tuner, metronome, and synth
  • NewPipe / NeuTube - I haven’t found my fave tube app.
  • Suntimes - Information and widgets about the sun and moon.

I’m just looking for some recommendations. It’s difficult browsing through apps with F-Droid. Thanks!

      I want to switch to Track & Graph so bad, but I feel like I’m rusted onto Tickmate for my tracking. The grid of “pixels” showing the last two weeks of habits is just so convenient.

        Didn’t know about Tickmate. I see why you like it. I guess if I didn’t start with Track & Graph and met Tickmate first, I would go with it. I think both are great on their own.

          The layout of Tickmate is the main benefit IMO. It’s reports are very basic, and has some bugs due to the age of the app. I’m hoping someday someone will fork it.

        Had no idea but there is a difference between straight out vibe-coding and making it fix the code. Still not ideal though.

    These threads come up every so often and I read them all, every time, just in case there’s a gem I haven’t heard of. Thanks y’all.

    • Droid-ify - much nicer F-Droid replacement front end that also works with Shizuku to automate installing updates in batches. Also supports many other repositories like izzy-On-Droid (which some of my items below may come from instead).

    • Shizuku - gives elevated powers to apps written to take advantage of it. Not quite root, but definitely helps give abilities that make life easier.

    • Kompact Image Compressor - I work with scanned documents a fair amount, and this new app has already saved me significant storage space.

    • Key Mapper - I mainly use this for emulation, but there are plenty of other uses.

    • URL Check - powerful sanitizer with the smallest footprint of those I’ve tried.

    • DropCount - my latest game addiction

    • Keyboard Switcher - sometimes I just gotta use a different input method, and this provides a consistent easy way to switch

    • Hail - group apps to freeze all in one shot with Shizuku

    • Insular - de-Googled Island app which makes working with the work profile feature easier

    • FFUpdater - keeps my collection of browsers & Thunderbird up to date automatically with Shizuku

    FlashDim

    If your phone’s flash is dimmable, you can dim your flashlight. A life saver for middle of the night searching for something when I don’t need the power of the sun

    Tubular has been my favourite tube app, its newpipe with sponsorblock and a few other features baked in.

    Droidify was my fave but fdroid might have a better UI at this stage. These app stores need better browsing and search for sure.

    If you like newpipe checkout tubular, it’s a fork that adds some improvements.

    Qr scanner. I like that it saves a history of scanned QRs and shows you a warning that scanning qrs can be dangerous

    Money wallet, to keep track of expenses

    Joplin, for note taking

    Addy.io, for anonymous emails aliases

    Shelter, let’s you create a work profile to keep things separated on your phone
