@kirschner #AntennaPod for Podcasts, #Fedilab for Mastodon and Fediverse, #Transistor for my daily #Dlf radio needs, #Aegis for #2FA, the recent version of #AnkiDroid for learning via flash cards, #SimpleGalleryPro for media management. #Auxio as a simple yet nice looking audio player. #OrganicMaps as an simple alternative to the mighty #OsmAnd. #NewPipe for my video streaming needs (even though #LibreTube is a very fine alternative when it exclusively comes to #YouTube), #Quillpad for taking notes, #KeePassDX as password manager. #DAVx5 to get stuff synchronized, #FairEmail as email client. #Feeder for my RSS feed needs. And finally the still new #FDroidBasic client allowing automatic updates of installed apps.

Recently tried out #SimpleX messenger and like it quite a bit so far. @fdroid

    Not an everyday favorite but a potential life-saver: EtchDroid for creating bootable Linux USB drives. Allowed me to fix a laptop which wasn't booting in the middle of a holiday.

    To use the smartphone's camera as a scanner, with the convenience of having pictures converted into 1bit depth (B/W with no grey scale), lightening them a lot.

    Obtainium. For all those cool apps you find on GitHub, GitLab, FDroid, Izzy, APKPure, and more. In some cases you can add your own links and it'll try to scrape them for APKs for app updates

    #Satstat will show how well your GPS works, and all the sensors in your phone. Like, I used it to check magnetic fields when fixing some electronics

    @kirschner @islamicaudiobooks @fdroid @delta @AntennaPod yes except that I ve no contact , who want to do an encrypted chat with me outside #signal
    This could be on my for not using it in a way, which is convenient for others.
    It has happened , when I encrypted my twitter DM , emails with #gpg , without fully understanding gpg and I had to step back from that. #keyoxide has brought some hope , but I am yet to get there, where I can use it efficiently even for work
