What feature/app do you use that the majority never talk about?

horde

https://github.com/umutcamliyurt/MockTraffic A random DNS, HTTPS internet traffic noise generator for Android, this added layer of traffic noise reduces the effectiveness of traffic analysis and profiling techniques, making it harder to identify specific behaviors, websites, or services accessed by the user.

https://github.com/proninyaroslav/blink-comparison Simplifies comparing photos of tamper-evident seals and patterns using your eyes.

Byku

https://github.com/nuclearfog/Nitterify - converts links from X/Twitter to your chosen frontend site, requires absolutely no permissions, useful since there is no longer any frontend app to view X anonymously

https://gitlab.com/cosmosapps/stealth - app to view reddit without account with added on device account-like functions i.e. subscription to subreddit feed, ability to pin posts you like etc.

https://github.com/aleksey-saenko/MusicRecognizer - does it's job, no bloat, no cluttered UI, just works

Byku To have the Nitterify functionality for a lot more privacy front-ends (e.g. Reddit, YouTube, Medium etc.), have a look at Linksheet.

Audile (MusicRecognizer) uses the AudD and ACRCloud APIs for recognition, Audire uses Shazam, which in my tests is more accurate.

Byku hey mate, how do you get Stealth to work with the Reddit API changes?

Byku

[deleted] It's still working for me. Reddit blocks a lot of VPN addresses, so maybe you can't connect because of a VPN. Can you access reddit in the browser?

If you're using a VPN like I do, you should use an alternative frontend to access reddit.

SovereignCopper

blackrose I think RedReader still works, even when you're on a VPN, because they got an exception status by Reddit due to their accessibility features.

DeletedUser370 Agreed, OpenTracks is great for running/cycling/hiking etc., I can't see adapting it for much else.

I use GymRoutines as an open source tracker for weightlifting. It's worth checking out if you need something for weight training. I'm in the process of switching over to Graphene - I just installed GymRoutines today, and it appears to work. I've used it without issue for many months on my previous phone.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.y20k.stayput/ >Stay Put is an app that helps prevent casual theft of your device while charging in public spaces. The app was created to solve a common problem: charging your phone in public spaces while traveling or camping. When you need to leave your phone unattended at a public charging spot, Stay Put acts as your guard. It sounds a loud alarm if someone unplugs your device, deterring potential theft.

https://github.com/Myzel394/Alibi Use your phone as a dashcam and save the last 30 minutes when you need them.

Alibi keeps recording audio/video in the background and saves the last 30 minutes at your request. Everything is completely configurable. No internet connection required.

Clark

horde what is the use for this? Why only last 30min? Just curious.

horde

Clark search what a dashcam is and its usefulness.

troika

horde Probably intended for secret filming

wagg3r

As an avid hiker, I'd recommend Trail Sense. It's a bit of a Swiss army knife that contains all sorts of useful tools and works completely offline, only leveraging phone sensors to do everything. The weather part of it is really interesting - it uses the pressure sensor in the phone to make short term predictions of rain & storms.

r134a

wagg3r +1 for this, it even has a 'metal detector' (only magnetic metals), given your phone has a magnetometer sensor.

Not sure about this but i think pixel 8 and up have these.

WallYou - Privacy focused wallpaper app with many sources to choose from. I like it.

Franco

For Chess players, Lichess
Their new application released in 2024. Opensource, free, no ads, no trackers (except a crash reporting), community founded. To play online, offline, puzzles etc etc.
On the Play Store
Github
With this app, really no point to use their big commercial concurrent with their mobile app full of profiling, analytics, advertisement, FB integration, with no clear added value.

Two simple apps made by the same developer Compass and Metronome. Beautiful, polished and great at what they do.
