bit niche but as a big streetcomplete fan I should have tried SCEE much sooner. So for any Openstreetmap contributors still holding out, that's a small recommendation https://f-droid.org/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete.expert

Breezy Weather is so pretty! I didn't know we had such beautiful FOSS software out there https://f-droid.org/packages/org.breezyweather

WebLibre I'm just trying out still, but I love that someone is extending Firefox on mobile https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.weblibre.gecko

Germans might appreciate Bahn Vorhersage. It's not magic, it won't know when your train will actually be there, but it helps planning trips on unfamiliar routes by giving you a much better idea of how much buffer time to plan. I actually prefer the webapp version here: https://bahnvorhersage.de/ (shout-out to @AskewLord@piefed.social downthread ;) )

I recently rediscovered UsageDirect for seeing how much time I spend in different apps. It's not really focused on this "spend less time on your phone" thing (you're old enough to decide that for yourself), it just shows you data that Android already collects anyway — and I love data! https://f-droid.org/packages/godau.fynn.usagedirect

Most of these, I discovered via f-droid's new feed, so that's also a rec! Even the Bahnvorhersage website I found that way via their app ^^. I just love "more free stuff"! https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/ :)

Be sure you didn't miss @jtrek@startrek.website's Too Good To Go recommendation downthread. It's about as commercial and nonfoss as it gets, but the end result is cheap food that would otherwise have been thrown away (I sometimes ask the store people what happens with the rest, only rarely is there some partial collaboration with a food bank type of place). Used to simply be a website to match people and restaurants iirc when I used it in Finland; now it requires an american credit card and anti-fraud algorithms magic to get anything but... still worth it

"too good to go". Cheap food from places near the end of their business day. Like a whole pizza for $6.

Timetree. Its just a shared calander my girl and I use. Im sure there are 100000 out there just like it but this is the one I've been using. I work a weird rotating shift schedule so I can program that in. We add the random shit we have to do in there. Her Idea so I'd stop asking if we are doing anything on XYZ day. Now if either are doing a thing that day we toss it in and the other knows what's going on.

ahh seems like it's proprietary sadly.. dropping a link for anyone curious https://timetreeapp.com/intl/en

Shared calendars are amazing! This looks like it has as much functionality as something like Google Calendars, so that's nice. Thanks for the rec!

Very helpful for passive communication

Punch-hole Download Progress

I just think it's very cool. Needs root, though.

they also host apk on their forum, it had some less restriction than the gplay version iirc but not sure what it was about exactly..

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

If you want to install apk files directly from the play store version, you need a companion app. I think that was the difference.

They have their own F-Droid repo, too!

I remember using Windows Commander, its predecessor, when I was like ten years old. My dad knew good software.

https://github.com/GeopJr/Tuba - Mastodon client. Works really well on my Linux box.

[-] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Shizuku. Let's you do a few things where you would need root otherwise.

[-] AskewLord@piefed.social -5 points 2 days ago

I don't use apps. I mostly use websites.

I'm weird like that.

[-] lucg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So share some webapps!
