>>302187Great thread OP! I already use a couple of these apps myself, my favorite being antennapod, which is my go-to for late night listening.
Thank you for the newpipe recommendation, I am amazed at just how good it works right out of the box.
For a good while I had removed all google services on my phone and installed a custom OS in an attempt to increase my privacy. I enjoyed it for a while, but my big problem was the open source maps app you recommended, osmand. It seemed to work fine in cities and busy areas, but, like… I lived in a rural area and I knew for a fact Walmart was down the road from me, but when I put in Walmart, it would INSIST on the Walmart headquarters in another state. Osmand always kinda pissed me off, and I need maps because I move a lot, so that served as an impetus to switch back to using Google services.
Some of my recommendations for good open (mostly) apps:
ChromaDoze for white/brown noise generation. It's simple and looks neat. No ads whatsoever.
Pulsar for music. You can make playlists. I torrent all of my music or download from YT, and what's neat is Pulsar searches the internet for good pictures of the artists if a picture isn't already included in your torrent file.
Noteworthy for tuning instruments (I use it for guitar).
Joplin (in conjunction with Dropbox) is a great note taking app that allows you to share notes between devices. It's easy enough to set up, and it has a robust library of features that allow you to take really nice notes.
Xodo is an app I use for PDF manipulation. PDFs are notorious for just being an absolute ass to deal with, and Xodo makes it tolerable. Idk if Xodo is FOSS, but it's a great app nonetheless.
KeepPassX is what I use for storing passwords. This is a powerful app and should only be used if you trust YOURSELF and ONLY YOURSELF to keep up with your passwords. If you forget your master key your fucked. But, it's worth it if you don't want your passwords in the hands of a private company.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to share. Thanks again OP, this thread is quality and I enjoy seeing things like this on the board. RIP arisuchan.
