Let’s build a useful collection of must-have F-Droid apps!
WG Tunnel is a really useful wireguard client I’ve been using for a while.
I use it to automatically enable a wireguard tunnel to my home network as soon as i leave my home WiFi. And I can assign different wireguard configs to different wifi networks when im out and about where the default wireguard config might be blocked, and it will switch between them automatically.
It has loads of other useful features too.
KDE Connect! Share files, clipboard, links from one device to another, use your phone as a mouse or laser pointer.
I use davx5 to sync my caldav calendar (radicale) with my Android.
This helps with Apple Calendar too so you can share with Google Calendar or some other
yeah, this one is less known and most useful
CoMaps. Google Maps alternative. Can save paths and do navigation with TTS. Gets its data from the amazing OpenStreetMap.
Why use this app instead of OsmAnd?
ETA: Rereading, I realize this could have sounded very rude and sarcastic, I apologize - it was a genuine question.
I was a long time OsmAnd user, I loved that app. After a couple of years I realized, I really liked the cusomizability, but in the end, I use like 5% of it’s features. I gave Organic Maps a try (now Co Maps after some community drama) and it was love at first sight. It’s the opposite is OsmAnd, a lightweight and super simple app to look for places and navigation. I miss like one, maybe two features, but I the usability is great and I won’t look back.
Thank you, I’ll give it a look.
For me, I have both of them.
co-maps I use when I need to add a place to open street map, and OSMAND I use for features that co-maps doesn’t have.
Basically, co-maps is easier to use for things that it can do and OSMAND is harder to use but can do more things/different things.
How would you say the OSM editor is better in CoMaps than Osmand?
There is one big friendly button to add place to osm in comaps
That sounds cool. I’ll give it a look.
On-device routing and the map rendering is way faster in CoMaps.
OsmAnd has way more features.
If you just need basic navigation, I tend to go to CoMaps
OsmAnd is a great app for powerusers. CoMaps is a simpler, and more user friendly.
What’s the difference between this and Organic Maps?
I think it’s a fork that was made after some recent community drama. Probably the two apps should be pretty similar, although CoMaps is updated more frequently I think.
What community drama?
OSM and magic earth ?
Mindustry: one of the few great games on f-droid (tower defense)
Mindustry is a great FOSS game, period. There’s also Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
And pirate solitaire
Trail Sense - a lot of useful tools like compass, ruler, bubble level, metal detector, unit converter, 3D AR astronomy visualizer and many more.
I hate being reminded there’s no compass in my phone, $600 pocket computer that can’t find north, what a joke
I don’t understand. There are lots of compass apps.
Yeah, but for folks like me and the guy above this doesn’t matter. Our phones is missing the actual compass hardware inside the phone that said apps needs to function.
thanks this is so cool
This is very cool but their nap function isn’t working for me despite being in a place very famous for its trails.
Does this have maps of it’s own?
I use it all the time for the variable brightness flashlight and screen-as-light-source. Also sun and moon info, asteroid alerts.
And there’s a bunch of stuff that’s potentially very useful. Making a live map from a map image sounds very interesting, e.g. with a historical map.
FindMyDevice. Alternative to Google’s find my device. You send a text from a different phone number, and you can do things like get the GPS location, lock the device, erase the device, ring the device, or have the device take a picture of its location.
https://codeberg.org/svewa/MedicalCalendarLog
I use this every day to keep track of my medication, remind me of stuff I want to do regularly (measure weight, take specific meds but also chores). Disclaimer: I’m the author, could not find anything alike.
That looks cool, though I can’t seem to find the “releases” section to download the apk…
I’ve been looking for a tracking app to replace one I use called Tickmate. It’s so old and needs upgrades, but I’ve been using it for years and can’t seem to find a better replacement
@ragica@lemmy.ml @glibg@lemmy.ca now with signed apk :D
Just figured out how to do releases on codeberg. tell me if it works for you. also: ping @ragica@lemmy.ml
I also can’t find releases on mobile. I see a bunch of f-froid publishing stuff at bottom or readme. Doesn’t seem to be on f-froid now, but maybe will show up there eventually.
Image Toolbox
Shrink, convert, stitch, draw, OCR, blur, do almost anything to an image.Wow thanks for this!
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker
url checker works as your mobiles default browser to easily edit links before opening them in a browser of your choice, I love this thing, I have given up trying to tell people about url hygene
URLCheck Share a URL to this app to preview it before opening, sharing or copying. It also has multiple neat features, like
- removing trackers
- quickly removing URL parts and extracting encoded text e.g. to skip redirection
- custom rewrites; can be applied automatically
That’s one of the first app I install after installing F droid every time I format my device
I second this, one of my most used apps
Audile - music recognition app
I use Audire (does not require an audd.io API token). It’s open source but only available in the IzzyOnDroid repository.
How does it compare to Shazam?
HeliBoard, don’t want google to get everything I type on their keyboard. KeePassDX - offline password manager
Catima - loyalty card wallet
I use this all the time also for gift cards.
and library cards.
Basically anything with a barcode.
