Here's what I'm rocking:

Aegis
App Lounge
AntennaPod
Bitwarden
Dicio
Doodle
F-Droid
FeedMe (Not FOSS. Open to suggestions)
Firefox
FNG
InvizBox
Jerboa
Mastodon
Music Player GO
Obsidian
OpenLauncher
Organic Maps
OsmAnd~
Proton Cal/Drive/Mail/VPN
RadioDroid
RedReader
Signal
Silence
Simple Keyboard
Tasks (Not the built in. I love this one)
Unit Converter Ultimate
Wikipedia

This is just about everything I have on my phone. I'm on a FairPhone 4 running /e/OS. What's your load out like?

I'm looking for a new keyboard. Glad for suggestions :D

Here's a few I enjoy using that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Phonograph Plus: elegant music player using Material UI design
Etar +ICS² : Etar is a nice-looking calendar app that uses Material UI design, and ICS² enables me to sync the Holiday Calendars provided on Thunderbird.net.
Etar+ DAVx² + NextCloud : enables syncing my local Etar calendar(s) with any NextCloud instance (using CalDAV). DAVx² also allows for syncing my Android contacts to NextCloud (using CardDAV)
AnySoft Keyboard: extremely customizable, varied keyboard layouts, for those who want all punctuation marks and quote signs built-in.
Irregular Expressions: alternative keyboard for goofing around with unicode textstyles (🅒🅘🅡🅒🅛🅔🅢, 𝕺𝖑𝖉 𝕰𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖍 𝕭𝖔𝖑𝖉, Ｅｘｔｒａｗｉｄｅ, etc.)
Simple Notes : minimalist "note to self" memos.

What's FNG? Fluid navigation gestures? Is that FOSS? Can you share a link to the codebase? Can't find it

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

It's one of my favorites. It lets you set swipe zones that perform actions or open apps on the left roght and bottom edges. You can put up to 4 on each edge with long and short swipes doubling them, so you can have up to 24! It's not maintained any more, but you can find a .apk and install it manually

Fennec, Bitwarden, Droid-ify, and Tutanota are my essentials I need for life.

Authenticator Pro. It's like Aegis but supports WearOS devices, so I can get my TOTP codes on my watch instead of having to get my phone out.

FairEmail. One of the best email clients I've used, across any platform. Highly customizable.

Syncthing for syncing photos to my home server.

Readrops for RSS - connects to my FreshRSS server.

Firefox, of course.

Ente Auth is nice for OTPs, it looks nice and I like that it shows the next code in case it's about to switch.

Neo Store for browsing fdroid

Moshidon for Mastodon

Thunder: Lemmy App
Scrambled Exif: Removes metadata when sharing images
Feeder: Rss Reader
KISS Launcher: Home Launcher
NewPipe: PeerTube and YouTube app.
Omni Notes: Notetaking
StreetComplete: Easy, fun, and addicting way to make OpenStreetMap updates on the go
OsmAnd~: Maps and navigation. Works phenomenally when in the backcountry and uses cell towers to locate you when gps alone can't.
Tower Collector: Contribute BTS towers for the above.
VLC: Video player
WiFi Analyzer: Useful for improving and setting up WiFi networks.
UntrackMe: Transforms links into their OSS alternatives.
