Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative? (programming.dev)

I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

Allowing manufacturers to know how a benchmark is performed also allows them to more easily artificially cheat when they know the benchmark is running.

That's a good point, but I don't figure this theoretical application would be big enough for any manufacturer to care about. I just wanted something for the people :⁠-⁠)
