Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! ๐Ÿคฉ

I use Obtainium for all apps with no f-droid presence, I just forget which ones sometimes. It's the browser extension that makes this one great. I wanted something pretty easy after losing the convenience of Authy desktop

True, Obtainium is a fix for this problem if .apk in the releases is present... just not only Google Play. Yeah I understand, I use Aegis only on my smartphone.
