EteSync works nicely for personal contacts and calendar stufff.... E2EE.... Davx5 for work calendar
Best alternative apps for the "full" smart phone experience
Dr-M I never had issues with magic earth but it probably depends on the area you're using it in. I'd suggest to check it out, some even let gmaps and magic earth run at the same time to check it out a couple of times. I've never done that and never had problems with it. For walking, hiking and biking, I can't live without osmand. There's no better map than that. If something is missing, I just add it.
krvopije Well, what I was thinking about was more like the apple wallet which links debitcards, flight tickets and so on, which either doesn't work at all with Signal (debitcards and paying over NFC with them) or it doesn't have the same smooth UX (PDFs of flight tickets and QR Codes for the terminals).
By sheer coincidence, when I opened F-Droid yesterday, one of the most recently updated apps was Catima, a "Loyalty Card Wallet" "For your barcodes, memberships, loyalty programs, coupons and tickets".
As the permissions were minimal (and acceptable to me), I installed it and gave it a test. Scanning of bar codes is very quick for setting up cards. I successfully used one and failed to use another. Though I think the failure was more to do with the bar code reading machine which is probably a means of preventing (reducing) copying/sharing of said card.
Obviously it doesn't do banking type stuff, which would require linking to Google/Samsung/Something Pay. However, for other cards and flights, etc, it might work for your friends/family.
TranceSeven I use AndOTP for my TOTP tokens. Finding independent comparison reviews of competing apps is tricky, but it's the one I went for.
Follow-up to this (as I am unable to edit my post above) to include the sad news that the AndOTP developer no longer has time to maintain the project.
krvopije Yeah, the syncing is going to be a no-go for the majority, but I think the one or other might be satisfied with Simple Calendar.
I use DAVx5 and the Simple Calendar with an iCloud account. Reason for this is that I need a reliable common calendar with my friend (on iOS), into which everyone can enter and edit events. Proton Calendar does not provide this feature yet.
FU6QydnIELkx I'm surprised not to see Aegis or even Scrambled Exif in there. Is there some other solution you're using for 2fa? I also like to keep Briar installed because I can see it being unexpectedly useful.
I personally never went with any 2FA (besides the usual experimentations everyone does with everything when its becoming a thing).
First of all, I don't have many online accounts, therefore I was always easy for me to keep them unconnected. Different E-Mail (mostly temporary ones) and always different passwords.
And these accounts/identities are either pretty much meaningless to me and I am fine with anyone getting access to them if I mess up or they came with their own 2FA (for example my banking app at the time I was using it).
So I never really got any use for 2FA and never integrated it into my set up.
Regarding the Scrambled EXIF, my received pictures or downloaded ones get synched with my laptop and I just ended up doing those things with my laptop. Either with something over the terminal or Apps like MetadataCleaner.
Never made any real comparison between MetadataCleaner or any android app to see if it misses a certain part, but I am satisfied with it.
And only because I'm fine with only these 6 apps I mentioned doesn't mean I don't have something else every now and then on my phone besides them. At times it was Twitter, at times Boost/Infinity/Reddit, Briar, GoTenna, Musicolet, a crypto wallet and currently Magic Earth is on my phone. They just either didn't proof to be that useful for my needs or were only useful temporarily as long as I was regularly on Reddit for example.
Magic Earth might end up becoming a "corner stone" of my set up, as it fits my needs pretty well.

I'll take a look at it. Thank you very much for sharing that app/info!

That might be something I could convince my cousins to do, but everyone older would get overwhelmed by the sheer need of downloading more then 1 app and "configuring" them to work together.
And as a side note to everyone that is still reading this thread and still sharing their ideas. One of my siblings (24) switched 5 days ago from their iPhone to a Pixel 5 and is pretty satisfied. This is not about scoring points +1 for us and -1 for the bad guys, don't like that kind of thinking, it is just to let you know that you are impacting the life of people (in my opinion for the better) with your kind helpfulness here (obviously) and in other threads/chats. Hope that gives you back some satisfaction/energy as your help gave me/us positive energy to accomplish this small step!
krvopije Una aplicación de calendario a la que pueden reenviar sus citas (muy probablemente .ics - archivos) que reciben a través de correos electrónicos (vuelos, etc.) e importarlas fácilmente. Lamentablemente, no tengo ni idea y no uso una aplicación de calendario en absoluto en mi teléfono.
I would like to recommend Etar, you can get it at F-Droid.
