What is a privacy friendly application that you'd love to have, but no one has developed yet? (lemmy.ml)

Havent tried every app but If I had to think of some:

an offline foss calendar that can import ics files (simple calendar is the only option soon fossify)
an app that can display Checksums for files
a dark privacy overlay for phones that can't use privacy screen protectors, like newer gen pixels

Edit: Second an offline fitness tracker where a person can manually input info. Been using an ods file for a couple of years but its a pain to use collabora on android

khal, for Linux. For mobile there's an ICS adaptor for use with your offline foss calendar app - there are several in fdroid.

an app that can display Checksums for files

DeadHash calculates and validates a half dozen different hash sums for files.
