AnkiDroid for flashcards. I use it for languages, but i believe there are repositories for other subjects.
Recently id say OsmAnd~. GPX tracks are great for long bicycle trips and the drinkng water overlay is a lifesaver!
trips can be planned and saved as gpx with https://gpx.studio/ !
Ive been using brouter.de but i will check out gpx studio
Firefox and VSCodium
Jerboa might be added to the list soon.
The humble grep.
Assuming I'm using Android:
- Mull or Fennec
- SkyTube
- Tusky
- Jerboa
- UntrackMe
- Orbot
- SicMu Player (or any good music player app)
These two are now the first apps I install on any new device:
- Kiss launcher (simple and fast)
- Articons icon pack
Basically, my approach is to (mostly) prioritize text over icons, and reduce the colors I need to process.
Other apps:
- Brave browser (for YouTube and built-in anti-tracking features.)
- Librera (ebook/PDF reader with lots of features)
- Odyssey (local music player optimized for speed. My library is so large that all the other players were having trouble finding songs.)
- Graph 89 (TI graphing calculator emulator)
- Feeder (RSS feed aggregator)

NewPipe and FireFox, at minimum.
Osmand - I use this along Google maps, but it's nice to have entire regions downloaded and it shows more information than Google maps, specifically for back country stuff where you need to see every type of trail
Home Assistant
Wireguard - I love that the protocol is lightweight and secure, makes it really easy to access my home network without needing to expose self hosted stuff to the internet
Bitwarden - self hosted with vaultwarden/SQLite, changed my life and it's really easy to share logins with my partner
Immich - self hosted, the first real replacement for Google photos I've found. It has autobackup and it's really easy to share albums.
Kiss Launcher - I like how simple it is. My home screen ends up disorganized anyway so it's honestly just faster to have a recents list and a quick search feature.
- Firefox
- Signal
- FFUpdater
- Red Moon
i3. Once I got used to tiling window managers I just can't use anything else.
For me it's ViMusic. I was stuck with a shitty Spotify subscription that I couldn't afford until I found Vi. It has pretty much all the bands I like and it passed my moms rigerous examination (she listens to all of of really obscure stuff) so when her Amazon subscription ran out, I got her to start using that instead. Suck it jezzy b!
- Quillpad (offline notes)
- MuPDF mini (Great simple PDF reader)
- Unit Converter Ultimate (lots of various conversions)
- Retro Music (fdroid repo for pro version, best music player hands down)
- OSMAnd (Great for fancy mapping features)
- Mull (hardened Firefox with the quickest updates of all Firefox based browsers)
- AntennaPod (best podcast app)
- Obtanium (install apps easily from sources such as Github)
- Droid-ify (better fdroid)
KDE Connect means that I can ping my phone that's usually presumably somewhere behind my bed or on a counter somewhere, without having to sheepishly walk to the nearest person and ask "can you call my phone I lost it :c"
Firefox
libre office
obs studio (free, not 100% sure if os)
The O in OBS stands for open :)
