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!

      Same, I didn’t know why but it’s actually working as a journal better than any other app I’ve tried for me. Maybe just feeling like it’s not going to try to sell me something or steal my data.

    i prefer pipepipe over newpipe

    termux allows using the phone like a normal *nix box

    adaway and afwall is awesome, but kinda needs root (rethinkdns if theres no root)

    audio recorder (by axet) is also great, i still haven’t found anything better than it (proprietary or not)

    • image toolbox – reasonably nice image editor;

    • USB gadget tool – (root) custom USB profiles, needed for

    • read you noice lightweight (11.2 mb) RSS reader with tts support;

    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.

      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.

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

    because i use a “dumb phone” (non-touch android flip phone, Sonim XP3 Plus 5G (X320)) my apps reflect that need a bit more.

    • TT9 invaluable app for T9 android phones, it works so so much better than the stock keyboard.
    • SimpleEmail this was the only email client that i could find that could work without a touchscreen. So far I’ve been reeeaally happy with it–it’s so nice to have a solid email client again.
    • DSub2000 subsonic/navidrome client that “mostly” works without a touchscreen. it’s not perfect, but for my use case it is usable when i don’t want to pull out my MP3 player.
    • Localsend OS agnostic “air drop”, must have
    • KDE connect Works really well on the Sonim for SMS, notifications etc (I had more issues previously when running older versions of Android on “dumb” devices)
    • DAVx5 Contact and Calendar sync, works so well with fastmail (or self hosted options); this is a life saver for me so that i can use the built in contacts/calendar for my non-touch device.
    • Delta Chat works surprisingly without touch. it’s hard to get people to switch off text or signal. But because my phone doesn’t support RCS, and signal is pretty mid (but still usable) without touch, delta chat has worked good for me.
    • Privacy Friendly QR Scanner works perfectly without a touchscreen, and has been invaluable on devices that do not come with a touch screen.

    These are a couple apps that are not on fdroid, but work really well on my device if anyone is curious:

    • BIG Launcher Expensive AF, but I was able to purchase the launcher on my pixel (that runs grapheneOS), then send them an email saying it doesn’t work on my Sonim X320 because it doesn’t have google play services–they sent me an APK of the full version that does not need google play services. This is one of the few launchers that works on non-touch devices, and it’s actually really good. The default launcher on the Sonim bugs out and does not show apps that are not pre-installed.
    • PodLP is a podcast app that is specifically made with non-touch/feature phones in mind. The developer did some AI assisted work to reverse engineer the API’s for the softkeys on phones like the sonim. While I don’t like AI, and try to use software that is free of slop–this is really cool work that I haven’t seen in any other applications. The developer just recently put out the apk on android it seems like maybe it will come to f-droid or something.
    • MATVT Is the virtual mouse that I am using to get around not having a touch screen when needed. But TBH the scrolling is jank and only works on some apps… If anyone has another options or tips, I’d love to try anything else at this point.

    • immich - photo gallery, sync, analysis, and sharing. A private server is a bit to install, but worth it.
    • AntennaPod - Podcasts
    • HeliBoard - keyboard. One feature is to move the cursor via the space key.

    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.
