    • Fedilab (Mastodon)
    • Fennec - Can’t deal with the web without uBo and other extensions.

    • Aegis - two factor authentication

    • AntennaPod - podcasts

    • Cheogram - xmpp chat, can also handle phone and sms gateways

    • F-Droid - technically it can install itself

    • Fedilab - my prefered fediverse app for mastodon

    • Fennec - basically firefox

    • Jerboa - preferred lemmy app

    • K-9 Mail - email

    • KeePassDX - password management

    • Kiwix - offline copies of useful wikis, q&as, archives, etc.

    • Lawnchair - alternative home screen / app launcher

    • Librera FD - books

    • NewPipe - watch youtube videos, although google keeps trying to break it

    • ntfy - runs in the background, handles push notifications for some other apps

    • Organic Maps - sometimes missing info and it doesn’t have traffic data. simpler than OsmAnd

    • Orgzly Revised - note taking. for people not familiar with emacs something like logseq or safe notes might be better

    • Pinkt - bookmarks

    • Pixelix - pixelfed app. not sure if I like this or PixelDroid better yet

    • PocketPaint - make art on your phone

    • QuickDict - offline multi-language dictionary

    • Syncthing-Fork - syncronize files between devices

    • Unexpected Keyboard - has the fancy keys that most android keyboards leave out

    • Voice - audiobooks

    • WG Tunnel - VPN connection, still not sure if this is the best option

    I’ve got hundreds more installed, but those are some of my favorites.

          I think they mean it’s technically not a ‘FOSS’ app, but instead a ‘source-available’ app.

          It’s on F-Droid if you load their repo.

          It is not allowed in F-Droid’s official repos because it is not open source; anyone can run their own F-Droid repo and distribute proprietary software from it.

          Also it’s open source but I understand some people don’t like their license.

          It is not open source; that is a term with an internationally recognized definition. Even FUTO themselves now acknowledge it is not.

          There license strips you of your freedoms. It is not free (libre) or open source. You can fork it but there are arbitrary restrictions that take away your rights.

        Nothing exciting I’m afraid - a few football related feeds (Guardian & Telegraph are solid for football stories, usually interesting articles rather than made up transfer horseshit) plus some general news headlines/generic/“top stories” type feeds & a couple of tech bits like Ars Technica.

    Others here have already mentioned most of the ones I use.

    Some that are less common are

    • The Fossify suite of apps
    • Eternity for Lemmy browsing
    • Spotube for music streaming
    • OsmAnd for navigation
    • Converter NOW for conversions

    The most useful one though is probably Syncthing. It lets you synchronise folders between your devices.

    I’d like to add Broccoli as a database for cooking recipes. It is very convenient, as it extracts the relevant data out of most SEO-inflated webpages.
