Since I am curious but lazy enough to search for the description of each one of these apps, I made an experiment. I asked GPT-4 to generate a description for them. I provided the context below:

This is a list of FOSS Android apps. I need you to briefly explain in one line what each one of these does.
You should use the knowledge you already have, but on doubt query the https://f-droid.org/

[I included OP full list here]

I tried twice. In the first one I not included the f-droid context above, and the list he generated have some misleading descriptions. The second try I passed the full prompt above, and the resulting descriptions was better.

Interestingly, GPT-4 alerts when he search the internet, but in this second try he did not accessed it, but the resulting list was better anyway, although not perfect:
