Asklemmy

Libby, freaking love audiobooks.

Wallabag.

I self-host my own instace, save articles I want to read from my laptop, and then they sync with the app on my phone. I read them offline when I have some time to kill

Xmanager, newpipe, Firefox with ublock origin and dark reader extensions.

TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that's so good

Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)

A few I haven't seen mentioned:

• Moon+ Reader - My favorite ebook reader of all time.
• Tea Time - Simple timer widgets
• Simple Time Tracker - Track what you do
• NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, M64+ FZ - Emulators
• Thunder - Lemmy
• Root Explorer - file explorer
• Lichess - Chess, free of ads, no fees. Almost entirely FOSS.

Also +1 to the usual favorites: Firefox, Termux, Nova, etc.

Sync for Lemmy, Voyager and Summit, if I need to narrow it down to three Lemmy clients.

Google Photos with Pixelifly 🏴‍☠️

Telegram to discuss about custom ROMs and talk with my gf.

Spark Mail because I love Inbox Zero, also has some nice team features.

Spotify for music, ViMusic as a close second.

Google Chrome (looking to replace it with Ice Raven, Firefox when it gets full extension support).

Feedly and Feeder, the one to discover and manager plus multi platform, the second because I think it is a superior RSS app, used along with Discovery Killer to replace cringe Google Discover.

Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) for password management.

Showly synced with Trak.tv to manage my TV shows/Anime and Movies.

Todoist (looking to replace it with Tasks.org, but I really need this to be multiplatform, just as with Feedly), also testing with Ruppu for simpler stuff.

Droidify to handle all these awesome Open Source mess ;)

Smart Dock

Classic PowerMenu

Ice Box and App Manager/SD Maid

Franco Kernel Manager and Magisk.

Runners up:

Download Progress ++ and Media Bar

I think this would be the summarized list.

Alarmed (iOS only, unfortunately). It allows you to set nagging reminders with notifications and has great features for snoozing a reminder or setting up routine reminders.

It’s great for ADHD. I basically use it for my schedule I’ll have it remind me the morning of something (or the day before depending on the event), when the reminder comes up, I’ll snooze it to to just before I have to leave.

I had been using apples “reminders”, which just seem to disappear into the ether if you happen to miss the notification.

Google Calendar - I live my life by this calendar. If it's not on the calendar, I'm not doing it

Audible - Audiobooks by Amazon (I know they suck, but it's a really decent service)

Tachiyomi - Manga and Comics manager and reader

Libby - Books and Audiobooks for free from your local library

Youtube - I use this way too much. I learn everything from here

Joplin - general note taking and to do lists

Feeder - my favorite RSS app. I also use it to save my YouTube subscriptions

Sync For Lemmy - The best Lemmy app out there rn IMO

NewPipe - YouTube app with built in ad blocking, background play, download function etc no login required.

Proton Mail - Emails

Proton Calendar - Calendar

Proton Drive - Cloud Storage

Proton VPN - VPN

AntennaPod - Podcast app

Spotify - Music

VLC - playing local video/ audio files

Firefox - Web Browser

Waze - Navigation

Signal - Messaging

Jellyfin - Accessing my movies and TV shows

Tailscale - What I use to access my Jellyfin when I'm away from home.

CamScanner - Very handy for scanning/ digitizing physical documents.

Speedtest from Ookla - I use it a lot to check my internet connection

Shazam - Music detection

PhotoScan - one of the only Google apps I use, let's you easily scan/ digitize old photographs

Bitwarden - Password Manager

Syncthing

Plexamp and NewPipe for sure. Especially now that Plexamp doesn't require a Plex Pass.

Tasker

"FitNotes" the workout app, because i've been using it for 7(?) years now to track my workout progress over the years and love the data/analytics. pretty user friendly, not super powerful, but great for tracking exercises.

and since google no longer supports music player apps outside of youtube, i guess Spotify, cuz that's the only way to listen to music nowadays. shout out to a friend who added me to his premium years ago

Swift Backup, i just can't imagine using my phone without that app.

I tried tons of third party apps (Omnifocus, Ulysses, Agenda, Things, Fantastical, Pro Tools…) but always end up using Apple’s stock apps because I love simplicity and I discovered that with my overthinking bad habit, having a good but simple/limited app is more efficient than an overkilled one.

Great thread btw!

SearXNG.

It's a metasearch engine (aggregates results from several engines and feeds then back to me). It also filters out sites I don't want, and redirects Reddit to the old interface.
