Proton mail
Been SO impressed with the entire proton suite recently.
Happy paying customer here and use all their apps daily 👊
They’re definitely doing great work. I love their integration with simple login. I also use Mullvad vpn!
Isnt protonmail a hoated solution?
AntennaPod and NewPipe
Two of the greats!
Do you use anything specific for music? I’ve been using newpipe for the most part, but I do miss the days of having YouTube music on my iPhone.
Proton, Bitwarden and Newpipe
Just had to check my Pixel apps. Here’s a few more I use. Signal, Brave, Standard Notes…there’s too many good ones to list them all.
I recently migrated from Standard Notes over to Notesnook. Check it out 👍
I use Notally for notes, simple and offline!
Have used that before but I really value replication across devices.
What do you prefer about notesnook?
What made you ditch SN?
They wanted me to become a paying customer for the privilege of being able to add a simple check list to my notes.
I need to do this. Standard notes is good but it is a steep price, and free tier is garbage.
You won't look back
Is the free version good enough in your opinion?
Yep.
Markdown, checklists, notebooks, tags, cross device syncing and 'monographs' too.
I went with Joplin for use across my devices.
Syncthing, Logseq, Newpipe, openkeychain, simplelogin (selfhosted)
OpenBoard, simple but great
Logseq, markor, mgit, amethyst, simple gallery, fennec, florisboard.
https://alternativeto.net/ generally i start here and go from there
Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus , firefox, Libre, Fairemail, pretty much everything where there's a reasonable alternative available.
Alternative To
Aegis, Cryptomator, Obtainium, Molly, Vinyl, Torchie
What about you QnA? Anything you use no one has mentioned yet?
Notesnook is my new recent addition which I've been enjoying.
Outside of that I've become a huge fan of the Proton suite and also use KDE connect pretty much every day for sharing stuff across my various devices.
simpleX
Big fan. Do you know if you can migrate a profile to a new phone? Can't see an easy way to do it.
Anki for learning vocabulary.
Cryptomator, Firefox, Proton Suite, Notesnook, NetNewsWire, to name a few frequently used ones. 👌🏼
OSMAnd, the OpenStreetMaps client. The data isn't quite there yet to match Gmaps for looking up stores/restaurants, but its a much more powerful, offline maps tool overall.
I don't use it everyday but Stellarium is a great app for studying the night sky.
Standard Notes and Tor
Bitwarden, but honorable mention to Joplin
Too many to list so will limit myself to some of those I can find here. In no order:

Notesnook, Robosats(weekly), Aegis
Lets convince notesnook to accept lightning
One of the best questions so far, I'm going through all the answers and taking notes. 🤓
Graphene, Linux, brave/Firefox/vanadium
I have to ask. Why 3 browsers?
Depends, my Ubuntu install gets wiped pretty regularly so sometimes I'm just not in the mood to reinstall brave. For my phone I prefer vanadium, brave has better comparability sometimes though.
Interesting, thanks.
And how come your Ubuntu gets wiped regularly? Feel free not to answer if it's for Opsec reasons 👍
Mostly because I'm a klutz/noob. Installing programs improperly, I wiped my other drive (windows) to make some more space and it had my bootloader, easier to just wipe it than claw through fixing grub.
woa!! a lot of 😏
FairEmail, AntennaPod, FreeOTP+, OpenBoard, Seal(youtubevideodownloader), syncthing
Archlinux, i3wm, Librewolf, Tor Browser, Orbot and simplex
in addition to the fennec browser (you can get it from fdroid) i created a custom add-on collection which contains for example nos2-fox for mobile use, ublock, dark reader, decentraleyes, libredirect, first party isolation ... plus some more.
collection owner: 17293778
collection name: zuz5rddsds
Attention: You have to unlock the custom addon-collection point, by tipping the fennec icon in the about menu multiple times.
greetings and have fun 🥰
🥰
_Every_ day? I guess no complaints with Konsole at the moment...
Standard Notes
vlc, acode editor, geometric weather, newpipe
Thanks for recommending geometric weather. This is really nice.
Geometric Weather isn't maintained anymore (since 2021). But there is a new fork with extended features under active development:
Thanks for the heads up!
GrapheneOS
Good Morning Nostr 🧡⚡
Got myself about 40% the way through nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 setup tutorial for Bitcoiner Guide this weekend. Aiming to get it out by Friday.
Really happy with how it's shaping up. Might be a long one though, lots of awesome spyware app alternatives I want to include.
Many of you already using some of them in the note I did for #AskNostr last week.
Have a great week 😎
I haven't used this but have heard about it in BTC circles and podcasts.
"Jitsi Meet" as replacement for Zoom. Zoom's TOS allows it to pretty much collect and own everything across its network/app.
Jitsi Meet is on F-Droid.
Yep Jitsi is cool. We host our own nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j
If you own an Android phone and are looking for FOSS apps then give this thread a read! It is a great source of inspiration with a wide range of alternatives!
Awesome thread with many great suggestions, tnx all
Termux. Just installing that simple app will open the door to running *so many other* FOSS things on your phone, and you can even proot your very own linux distribution to it if the adventurous type.
