Second obtainium. I had been looking for an app that does what it does exactly – was super happy to find it and have it work pretty well.
For some reason the Obtainium link does not work in mobile, but this one without index .html does: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/
Thank you. I am not sure how that only ended up on that link.
I love syncthing. So convenient for transferring files between windows, android, and MacOS. Platform agnostic is the best.
Obtanium is awesome too for simplifying the process of updating apks from github.
Antennapod is so damn good!
1List is the best list-making app I’ve tried that’s open source. Really polished and quick.

Along those same lines, Notally is the best note taking app I’ve tried.
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.omgodse.notally/
And since someone else mentioned Voyager, I’ll mention Eternity as well!

Lastly, Weawow is the best weather app I’ve used, though Quickweather on f-droid is a close second (but requires an API key to work, so bit of a hassle to set up).

I like the look of both of these but do you know a way to sync them with a PC?
I don’t believe so. The only options I see in the settings is the ability to export and import lists and notes manually with a file.
You can use Syncthing (the fork on FDroid is better) and Obsidian (for the notes). You can also use obsidian services (might be paid) for the sync but its easy enough to do yourself.
FDroid itself
Termux, a terminal emulator
Indispensable.
A lot of bangers in the comments, but I didn’t see my favorite!
container (kinda) for your apps https://f-droid.org/packages/com.oasisfeng.island.fdroid/
And its sibling Shelter. Don’t know which one is more up-to-date lately.
- Signal signal.org↗ - Free, open source, completely end-to-end encrypted messaging that lead by a non-profit.
- Shelter f-droid.org↗ - Use Android’s built-in “Work Profile” feature to install or clone apps into an isolated space.
- Simplex f-droid.org↗ - Like Signal but for the more paranoid. Not as good from a UX perspective so I can’t recommend it to everyone, but definitely just as good if privacy/security is your ultimate requirement.
how does shelter differ from insular - assuming you know. I just haven’t seen that one and am curious

Bitwarden. There’s no excuse not to use a password manager.
Single point of failure for all my usernames and passwords? No thanks
That’s why you use 2-factor-authentication
I used to think like that and only used
pass. Then I stopped worrying and decided to trust the crypto.You can keep your 2FA tokens in a separate app.
Quillpad https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.quillpad/
It’s a nice simple Google keep replacement.

English Dictionary Offline: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=livio.pack.lang.en_US . Still unbloated after all these years.
Librera (ebook reader): https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/ . The pro version is free on f-droid, or you can buy it on Google Play if you want to support the dev.
Fossify Gallery: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ . This is a fork of the old Simple Gallery from before it got bought out. Same deal with Fossify File Manager and the other Fossify apps. Just no-nonsense functional apps.

Does it do OPDS for Calibre integration? I don’t see that in the features.
I don’t use this feature much so I can’t speak to the details, but yes, it does support OPDS.
Screenshot:
I might give it a try then, Calibre library support builtin is a dealbreaker for me and it wasn’t obvious in the description.
Thanks.
