    AntennaPod is The best podcast app I’ve come across

    Delta chat is chat over email infrastructure

    Linklater is a client for my selfhosted linkding bookmark app

    Tusky is my mastodon app of choice

    Unciv is Civ5 scaled down to pixel graphics

    Termux is my terminal emulator for android

    Weechat-android I use for chatting on IRC

    Kahon I use for reading manga and comics

    But my instinct is to first check on fdroid before I look for something on Google play

      Another bump for antennapod, haven’t found a better podcast app yet and I have tried a few just to see.

      Also Delta Chat, I have recently been trying it out through the Arcane Chat app (same dev, Arcane seems to be his feature testing grounds) and I love it so far. It’s easy enough to use I was able to get my mom on it, can’t say that for XMPP or Matrix! I’m sure it’s got its own problems, no forward secrecy, metadata (which to my knowledge every messaging app has by virtue of how “messages” work, even snail mail, it has to know who to go to), but then again Delta wasn’t started as an Amdocs (mossad associated company that infiltrated US telcom) product like the Matrix Foundation, so I trust it more for now. And Delta/Arcane uses so much less battery than Conversations does when running GrapheneOS, like by a LOT. I just checked, Conversations has eaten 20% of my charge since full, Arcane Chat has used less than 1% despite having the same screen/background times and same number of messages sent/received on both.

      Bump for AntennaPod. Ditched Spotify for good last year and this has been a great replacement. I used to use PocketCasts back on the day, but that app switched to a subscription model and now my one time premium purchase means nothing. AntennaPod is better anyway!

    Candle

    Uses your display as a flashlight, with customisable colors/brightness.

    Being able to have it set to a dark red for night vision without disturbing my partner is fantastic.

      K9 is not a Thunderbird fork, it was created as it’s own thing. Recently it’s been picked up by Mozilla to become Thunderbird for android with the original creator still on board.

          It’s actually the opposite, TBirdMobile is a fork of K9 (and it’s basically just reskinned blue for now lol), they currently have feature parity but at some point (supposedly already, but I guess they delayed it because K9 got an update a couple months ago) K9 is set to stop receiving updates as they fully switch over to TBird.

          I also love K9, been using it since ~2012.

          At least for now, it is just blue K9, but so help me if Mozilla hurts my sweet app I’m gonna throw a fit lol.

      I tried to like OpenCamera, but the pictures just look awful compared to Pixel Camera, so I’m using that with network permissions denied. Maybe I’m doing something wrong or Google is just doing some post processing magic.

        The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it’s been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don’t know if they’ve fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.
