I love the Infinity Reddit app (but gonna miss it).
Bitwarden
I’ve seen Bitwarden show up in this thread a few times. I’ve been a longtime user of KeePassX. Is there any particular reason I should consider switching?
What made me choose bitwarden is the emergency access feature.
It allows to designate someone as an emergency contact. This person can request access to your vault and if you don’t deny the request then they will have access after x days.
This way, if something happens to me then someone in my close family can still access my account.
I got the case recently with my brother in law who got into an accident and thanks God his laptop was not locked so my sister could access his accounts.
Because if not it can be a nightmare ! Having to deal with all the utilities company, harassing you because you did not pay the bill that arrived on a locked email account, then not being able to pay the bill anyways because you have to connect on they website … on top of getting your husband and the father of your child in the hospital in a coma.
This is a very good point. I’ve often wondered about a safe and secure method of getting my important passwords to a family member in the unfortunate event that something should happen to me.
That said, I’m very sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.

If you can get Nectcloud running there’s a KeePass integration addon there that can also make it cloud based and self hosted! The Keepass2Android app can even sync with it directly.

There is a new maintained fork of keepassx called keepassxc as well if you want to stick with keepass
I noticed that as well. I’m going to try using both for a week or two, just to see how it goes. KeePassXC seems identical to KeePassX, which is nice. But maybe Bitwarden will win me over; it seems quite popular.
Yeah, It’s no longer being developed. See: https://www.keepassx.org/index.html%3Fp=636.html
What about KeePassDX?
-
F-Droid for FOSS apps
-
Aurora for Google Playstore apps
-
OSMAnd for navigation
-
Oeffi for public transport
-
many Simple Mobile Tools apps
-
K-9 Mail
-
Tor browser
-
Shelter for isolating apps
-
Tusky for Mastodon
-
Jerboa for Lemmy
-
Nunti for RSS feeds
-
Molly for Signal
-
Telegram FOSS
-
Aegis for 2FA
-
QickDic (dictionary)
-
TinyWeather
-
Threema Libre (not free)
For the map I prefer Organic Maps, it has a cleaner UI
Just having a look at it, ty.
-
Some from the ones I use:
- F-Droid
- Fennec (firefox variant that supports custom addon collections)
- K-9 Mail
- Termux (terminal + Linux environment)
- Jerboa for Lemmy
- Wikipedia
You should check out iceraven if you want even more addons. Iceraven
Apperantly the addons are taken from this collection, which can be set up on fennec as well
I use Mull which is hardened for privacy. All Fennec derivatives support custom addons and setting the collection yourself is possible.
Fennec is such a godsend
- Fedilab for Mastodon (an alternative to Tusky)
- Jerboa for Lemmy
- LibreTube for usable YouTube without an account
- FluffyChat for Matrix (an alternative to Element)
- FairEmail for mails
- Molly for Signal (pretty much the same as the original app)
- Forkgram for Telegram (also pretty much the same as the original open source version)
- Aurora for PlayStore apps
- F-Droid
- Fennec for browsing (the opener version of Firefox)
- Aegis for 2FA (an alternative to Google Authenticator)
- KeePassDX for passwords (an alternative to Keepass2Android)
- OpenKeychain for PGP Keys
- Orbot for connecting to Tor and running a Snowflake proxy
- RethinkDNS as DNS with blocklists, firewall and routing to Orbot via Proxy for all TCP connections
- Tutanota as synchronized calendar
- Osmand~ for navigation (an alternative to Google Maps)
- Transportr for public transport (an alternative to DB Navigator in Germany)
- In general the “Simple …” apps on F-Droid are also nice
I’ll be in Germany next month, so I’ll have to try out Transportr
Transportr is not covering all cities in Germany, while DB does. So do have both :)

Can I ask where do you get your RSS from? It’s hard to find RSS in sites and topics I’m interested in.
If you’re asking what I think you are, I get mine by searching “best RSS feeds” and then manually looking through the list. Then, if I ever find myself going to a site a lot, I’ll see if they have one or if someone has created an RSS for it.

i get mine from Ars, The Register, The Verge, and NPR so far.

You might be interested in rss-bridge, covering some sites that do not have a rss feed. You can host it yourself or use one of the sites available online.
Ankidroid— Create, share, borrow and study with flash cards
Firefox— Web browser
Rethink Firewall— Best firewall for android
Infinity— Gonna miss this one (Reddit client)
Libretube— Modern Youtube client using Piped
Obtainium—Keeps track of all my foss apps from their git repositories + them
Gnu IMP— Desktop photo editor
Aurora Store— Download apps from the play store
Thanks for recommending Libretube. I just switched to GrapheneOS and was looking for a FOSS revanced replacement without the need for Play Services or MicroG. Libretube is absolutely perfect.
No problem! I love it so much. The devs are constantly adding new features too
Firefox
-
LineageOS: my Android ROM of choice
-
LineageOS for MicroG: the ROM on my second phone where I quarantine my use of apps that refuse to work without Google services (mostly stuff I need for business travel e.g. Amtrak, Google Maps)
-
Aurora Store: allows installation of most Play Store apps without login. I mainly use this on the MicroG phone, but it’s also needed to get the ProtonMail and ProtonCalendar apps (only ProtonVPN is on F-Droid)
-
TrackerControl: allows fine tuned domain blocking on a per-app basis. Often allows you to block just ads and trackers but still be able to use an app or at least many of its features.
-
Arcticons: monochrome line art icons (because I hate fun and want my GUIs to look like a terminal)
-
AsteroidOS Sync: WearOS replacement. AsteroidOS still has a long way to go, but I doubt WearOS would play nicely with LineageOS and I don’t want all the tracking anyway.
-
Bubble: bubble level by woheller69 (a true F-Droid GOAT)
-
FlorisBoard: afaik, only FOSS gesture typing Android keyboard (besides AnySoft, which doesn’t seem to work consistently)
-
GMaps WV: fairly locked-down web viewer for Google Maps (sadly OSM just doesn’t have a usably complete business directory where I live)
-
Lawnchair: launcher with all the features I want except being up to date on F-Droid
-
Librera: the PDF reader on F-Droid that I hate the least. (Anyone got any better recommendations?)
-
NewPipe: ad-free Youtube player with locally stored subscriptions and playlists. An IzzyOnDroid fork with SponsorBlock is also available.
-
QKSMS: my SMS app of choice
-
Signal: because I can’t convince my friends to switch to Briar
-
SpoTube: pirate ad-free Spotify that works by looking up tracks on Youtube. Is therefore limited by what’s available on YT and sometimes plays wrong tracks, but you can’t beat the price :] Even interfaces with a Spotify account to play and edit playlists.
-
Standard Notes: E2E encrypted cloud-synced notes. Also accessible by web browser, which has saved my ass a few times while phoneless
-
Weather: by BeoCode on F-Droid
-
VLC: everyone’s favorite traffic cone boi
Thank you for adding descriptions. Just lists of random projects are a lot to go through.
I’d also recommend ViMusic. It is similar to SpoTube but in my opinion it’s more user friendly.
sadly OSM just doesn’t have a usably complete business directory where I live
Its up to you to change that to the better
this is true
-
Bitwarden-password manager Joplin - notes Kde Connect- laptop connections for file transfer, notifications etc Syncthing- file syncing
All of these are available of F-droid.
- Aegis Authenticator
- Antenna Pod
- Unciv
- Shelter
Wow, i LOVE Civ 5 but never knew about Unciv. Looks really cool!
Every time Unciv updates I lose 2–6 hours of my day. 10/10
emacs
YyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuP.
Yes, ++. Emacs is by far the App I use the most. While my system runs, I never close it. I live in it.
cant choose one because i enjoy using a lot of them:
- bitwarden
- inkscape
- kdenlive
- nextcloud
- organic maps
- signal games
- shattered pixel dungeon
- openttd
- Fairmail
- keepass
- firefly iii
- Firefox
- sumatrapdf
Inkscape for me :)
