Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! ๐Ÿคฉ

~~I don't think it's Open Source (sorry) and it does have (non intrusive, can prob be blocked) ads in the Freemium, but Sleep As Android by Urbandroid has this and much more. I bought an unlocker years ago and have not looked back.~~

I didn't read the rules. My bad.

Sometimes we find those gems. I know, for example about Niagara Launcher that is not open source but excellent. Just the original author wants to keep this app for himself. Also, nothing wrong with it same for making money with open-source apps. Yet, I intend to be FOSS and that's all.

I'm not OP and not trying to get things added to the list so don't mind suggestions that don't meet OP's criteria, but I would prefer something open source if possible.

But now you mention it, I think I may have bought Sleep as Android many years ago, so I might still consider it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm the OP and I feel the same. ๐Ÿ˜†
