Favorite F-Droid Apps?

submitted by

Here are a few of my faves:

  • Breezy Weather - Nice weather app.
  • Diatronome - Tuner, metronome, and synth
  • NewPipe / NeuTube - I haven’t found my fave tube app.
  • Suntimes - Information and widgets about the sun and moon.

I’m just looking for some recommendations. It’s difficult browsing through apps with F-Droid. Thanks!

Aegis - an authenticator app.
CoMaps - like Google or apple maps
ConnectBot - let’s me ssh into my PC and laptop from my phone, that’s nice for me if I just need to do something quick and am in another room.
FluffyChat - this is the matrix client I prefer, other than sending video, that sucks with this one.
Léon - this cleans up URLs to remove the tracking stuff.
Seal - this downloads videos or audio files. I use it because I like to download videos i send people, instead of just sending them a link.
Shelter - this clones apps to a work profile on your phone, which somewhat limits what those apps have access to from your standard profile.

qBitController - Control qBitTorrent servers from your phone. UI is really great; I use it regularly to download some media on my server (an always on old laptop) when I’m at work.

Pano Scrobbler - Connects to Last.fm to scrobble any music I listen on my phone. Also nice UI.

Rush - Fetches and shows lyrics for songs you search or whatever is currently playing. Can handle synchronized lyrics and sync with your player.

Auxio - Simple music player. Of the few I’ve tested, it handles metadata the best, which makes it work very well with other music apps (Pano and Rush).

Keysh - Assign custom actions for the volume buttons. I use the default script which makes the buttons turn volume up/down on short presses, and skip forward/backward a song on long presses. I use it pretty much daily to control music without unlocking my phone (and not using the broken controls on my headphones).

MJ PDF - PDF reader, simple UI, very fast.

Material Files - File manager, nice UI and feature set.

Ruler (Privacy Friendly) - On-screen ruler. Comes in handy sometimes.

Binary Eye - QR and barcode scanner. Can preview and copy the text before handling it.

I haven’t used droid-ify previously, downloaded it and gave it a quick look. UI-wise they seem pretty on par now, with F-Droid having better browsing, but droid-ify has zoom in app images, something I’ve wanted forever on the official app.

I can’t compare them functionally without using it for a while, so maybe someone else can talk about that.
