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

Ok, not an app, but a Swiss based service, allowing you to share files up to 50GB. You can password protect access to your file, limit the number of downloads, set an expiration date, etc. Does not require an account:

    Is SwissTransfer E2EE? I wasn't able to find anything after a quick search to suggest that it is. Even this page doesn't mention encryption (despite the advertised "privacy"). Sounds like its honestly just better to use a Send instance (including your own if public instances don't have large enough file sizes)

      Dumdum Is SwissTransfer E2EE?

      Probably not. But I wouldn't trust it anyways, I always encrypt locally, then you can share the password through another channel.

      Too much work : )

      horde Thanks for promoting my app! :)
      An update that now FadCam is fully changed with whole new UI and options, full changelog is available at GitHub,

        Everyone probably knows of Izzy -
        His Neo Store is pretty awesome as an fdroid replacement for diff repo's etc (a lot even included, just enable or disable what you want/dont)

        ffshare is my goto for quickly reducing image sizes when you just want to send a photo quickly.

        Cams is a brilliant actively developed rtsp viewer (spare tablet + cams = light weight at a glace monitoring etc)

        Saw Markor above, it is fantastic - Quilpad is my 2nd choice for markdown..

        Vivaldi is a decent cross platform browser - I do have it installed on my phones though Vanadium is the best by far - Vivaldi can be useful though when you want to sync browser sessions to your laptop etc (*nix in my case)

        Bitwarden is nice too - on *nix can try Goldwarden (made by one of the main devs of Bitwarden - he very good at crypto as well)

          intron Everyone probably knows of Izzy -
          His Neo Store

          Do you mean Izzyondroid? Neo Store isn't his. It belongs to machiav3lli.

            Dumdum

            Ahh - Didn't know that - My apologies :)

            N1b liked to use exodus as well (and still do within neo store) but it's very imperfect as it uses badness enumeration.

            Try https://beta.pithus.org/ (by same engs who built Exodus) which simply does an extensive static analysis on the APK (it does "badness enum" in that it highlights things it finds concerning, which isn't a bad thing).

            Any trick to add Mullvad Leta as default search engine on Vanadium ?
            Not just Menu > Add to Home Screen !

            Thanks!

              matchboxbananasynergy I used to use ReadYou but it gave me a few issues

              Oh don't get me started, it's a shame because Feeder is really inconvenient to use a lot of the time and apps on my device have issues running in the background. I'm planning on trying Cappy Reader in addition to Twine

                I found Openreads, an open source app for keeping track of book collections and reading progress, all locally. I have rarely seen it mentioned here, but I think it's pretty great for its purpose. I miss the ability to add custom fields such as series info, but it's a planned feature. The latest release was 4 months ago, but development will be picked up again soon according to the developer. (4 months is not a very long time anyway).

                If anyone know of any alternatives (preferably also open source) to Openreads, would be happy to hear about it.

                Termux for a Linux shell on Android, it can be used for SSH, running python programs on Android files etc. It can be customized as well. Has some weird hickups but I have yet to find a proper alternative.
                Auxio is a very polished and comfortable music player for local music. Does everything it needs.
                Lichess and Libresudoku for easy games.
                Organic Maps is really awesome but I still use OsmAnd for some functions, since it's still modern and has much more functions (which makes it a bit bloated but still).
                Material Files is a great alternative for bloated native file managers, it supports SFTP, FTP, SMB and WebDav mounts. Shame it doesn't have some kind of recycle bin function.
