AntennaPod is The best podcast app I’ve come across
Delta chat is chat over email infrastructure
Linklater is a client for my selfhosted linkding bookmark app
Tusky is my mastodon app of choice
Unciv is Civ5 scaled down to pixel graphics
Termux is my terminal emulator for android
Weechat-android I use for chatting on IRC
Kahon I use for reading manga and comics
But my instinct is to first check on fdroid before I look for something on Google play
A bunch of games but also

I also have Mitch for itch.io games and Lemuroid for emulating older systems. There are a lot of fun things to emulate.
I switched from Breezy to Overmorrow. Check it out :)
Sadly it doesn’t seem to have a feature I need, which is gadgetbridge data sharing, so I can get the weather in my wearable. Breezy has it.
GPSLogger, the GOAT.
Not only recording GPX daily and uploading them to the cloud for me to record walks, rides and all movements, but also sending location data to a selfhosted Traccar server. Disappeared off Google Play due to problems keeping it listed there, but still available on Fdroid.
Vector pinball, lol
It’s great for killing 10 minutes at a time
Thx, great recommondation!
I also enjoy the Fruity Game
Forkyz (Crossword puzzles)
Insular (aka Island) for using the work profile without a corporate log in.
K-9 Email
A Thunderbird forkPicked up by Mozilla to become the new ThunderbirdOpen Camera A camera app with some missing features from the built-in camera app.
K9 is not a Thunderbird fork, it was created as it’s own thing. Recently it’s been picked up by Mozilla to become Thunderbird for android with the original creator still on board.
Oh I misunderstood then! I thought I read somewhere that it was a fork.
I tried to like OpenCamera, but the pictures just look awful compared to Pixel Camera, so I’m using that with network permissions denied. Maybe I’m doing something wrong or Google is just doing some post processing magic.
The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it’s been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don’t know if they’ve fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.
Port Authority, it’s not been updated in ages but still works and is super useful for checking open ports on your network.
wX for weather.
Does it depend on a non-free service?
Isn’t it just NOAA?
I don’t know. FDroid said it promoted or entirely relied on a paid service. That’s why I asked.
Yeah I think they’re counting NOAA as non-free since you couldn’t run their servers yourself. Which like, NOAA is doing the data collection and analysis themselves. I’m not sure that’s a fair classification. Maybe I’m missing something
I believe so.
DNS66, it blocks ads on a dns level so I never see them on my phone
