AntennaPod Podcast player with awesome ui
On my wife's phone it has tabs along the bottom. On mine it has the same options in the hamburger menu at the top left. I have no idea why they are different π
You can change it from Settings > User Interface > Bottom navigation
Ah thanks!
Antennapod also has Android Auto support, though you have to do something in developer mode to activate it, because Google.
One of the most used F-Droid Apps on my phone
antennapod has boosted the quality of my commutes hugely.
NewPipe β Lightweight YouTube front-end: background playback and downloads without Google Play services.
Or if you dislike all kinds of ads like me, you may also like the NewPipe fork Tubular, which provides SponsorBlock integration.
Me like PipePipe
pipepipe is a way better app for me. they tend to fix stuff much more frequently than the newpipe app devs.
newpipe had bugs that still hadn't been fixed for years. so I switched and pipepipe is much more reliable.
The only issue I get with PipePipe is that when I switch from LTE to WiFi the stream cuts off and won't restart due to an error. I can play other stuff through the app, just not what I was listening to after the network change.
I prefer PipePipePipe.
I feel like NewPipe would be awesome if it weren't just for Android. Like if you could run it on PC/Mac/Linux. iOS wouldn't be entirely out either, since you can sideload up to 3 apps with a free developer account. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you already have an Apple account, so you can just make it a developer account, and all that really does is add you to the developer mailing list, which isn't that annoying.
Of course, on the computer I just use Firefox + uBlock Origin, but I can do that on Android, too. I've never tried watching YouTube on my Android phone (my iPhone has a bigger screen, but I'd just rather use a computer) but I bet I can block the ads in the browser. I think the app comes with it. My iPhone doesn't even have the YouTube app. I never see ads in Safari using uBlock Lite, which is a DNS filter, which is exactly what Android users without root are doing, AFAIK (or VPN-based blocking e.g. PiHole that's platform independent).
(So basically I prefer a solution that works on all my devices from various vendors. But a good option for Android, especially since Google backed down on canceling sideloading!)
there's freetube for desktop, i hate how it's an electron 'app' though
Ah, yes, I have it (on macOS, I use it for downloading when YouTube blocks jd2 from downloading, I can get the video in any res with no audio, and the video in like 160p with good audio. Throw both into mkvtoolnix, ditch the low-res video stream, and it's all good. A bit of extra work, but if I want the video I can get it). I know it's similar.
i think you can just use
yt-dlp -x {youtube link}to get audio btw.I think there's technical reasons for that. It looks like (and I may be wrong) they grab the YouTube website and show you a modified version of that, instead of requesting just the video from the server. This may be useful because YouTube changes how its API works sometimes to throw off 3rd party clients.
Deleted by moderator
nope they're completely creating a new page, not a modification of the youtube website.
There is an experimental version floating around that does run on linux through the very new android translation layer. Very buggy though currently. Its in flathub.
That's awesome. Linux should absolutely be pushing for Android app compatibility in much the same way macOS does with iOS/iPadOS apps.
And by pushing, I mean it should be an optional project people could install if they want, not forced on everyone like a commercial OS feature. I just mean it should be a thing.
I think Waydroid fits the bill of what you're describing.
Ya, it works! But it is very much like a phone interface on the computer. Maybe not perfect but it exists.
See also, FreeTube.
Breezy weather. It plays nice with gadget bridge and if you use the git version you can choose all kinds of weather sources, the fdroid one is a bit more restrictive.
Also it just looks great and is easy to interpret at a glance.
I like cirrus as well
Don't forget the Breezy live wallpaper, where it shows a wallpaper based on the current weather.
obligatory shilling for LocalSend, it's airdrop except open-source and completely cross-platform!
fantastic for someone like me who doesn't know shit about networks and file sharing yet has a mix of windows and linux machines
Yup, used this a lot until I started using KDE Connect more.
Use it, love it, has a great http webserver fallback option too
Didn't know about the plain HTTP option! I'm using Sharik for this
Are there any alternatives that are decently fast for large files? My computer and my phone both get at least 300 mbps from the router, and I have yet to find a local file transfer application that will be anywhere near that fast for large files (destiny, local send, kde connect, might have tried others, I don't remember)
I have used Copyparty on my LAN (with nginx as a reverse proxy), and remember it being fast enough to saturate a gigabit connection. I would probably believe the numbers quoted here: https://github.com/9001/copyparty?tab=readme-ov-file#reverse-proxy-performance
Its sick on iphone
WifiAnalyzer, great for finessing your own WiFi channels by providing a scan layout of all 2.4Ghz and 5/6Ghz channels in your area.
You can see bandwidth, signal strength, overlapping networks, everything.
I use it to diagnose deadspots in my home, or to search for hidden wireless cameras in hotel rooms
Wow, how do you find them? Have you actually had success?
I went to an airbnb that had a creepy but visible proximity sensor in the bedroom, and a hidden wifi network that was strong near it.
So, I found a network for an already visible device :-)
Fascinating. I suppose a proximity sensor is better than a camera, at least, right? Did you cover it with a napkin or something? I've gotta try this app out now...
oh a napkin would have been smart actually.... I just stared at it angrily
It used to have a feature that would beep faster the closer you got to an AP. I used it in cafes and libraries to figure out where to sit for the best WiFi. But they killed it, and I have no idea why :'(
I think it's an OS limitation which throttles the Wifi scanning to slower intervals (and also requires you to enable location(??))
That doesn't make sense to me. I have root. I should be able to allow the app any scanning interval I want.
I think you can disable the "WiFi scan throttling" option in the Developer Options, which might remove this default limitation
Still no idea why Location is needed for this
Edit: Apparently it's a safety feature against malicious developers who can pinpoint your location based on scan results. To make the user aware, they force you to enable location permission
So it works then if you enable this?
Kinda, when I pull down to refresh it seems more responsive rather than doing nothing
Fossify apps.
Replace your phone, calendar, and more standard apps with foss apps
I like the calendar one especially.Β
I've actually replaced my phone, messages and contacts apps with the fossify ones and I gotta say, the oppo ones were slow, would jump sometimes and just were very slow to respond to when texts or calls hit the phone. In contrast, the fossify messages app responds pretty much instantly to messages, the fossify phone app responds instantly to calls, and the two consume way less resources than the preloaded apps.
Drip A tracking free, cloud free and subscription free period tracker. There are a lot of period tracking apps around, but most of them try to push a subscription on their users and putting that data into a cloud can be dangerous in many countries where abortions are forbidden. You know that some judge in Texas wants to have access to that data. Save yourself or the women in your life from subscribtion and tracking hell and switch them over.
I use davx5 to sync my caldav calendar (radicale) with my Android.
This helps with Apple Calendar too so you can share with Google Calendar or some other
yeah, this one is less known and most useful
Aegis - Google Authenticator compatible 2FA
Also Stratum which is another open source authenticator app.
I like it because it has a Wear OS companion app.
Also KeePassDX can do 2fa and if you keep passwords there it makes logging in with 2fa super quick and seamless
I don't think it's a good idea to have both the passwords and the 2FA in the same app. But it does make it much more convenientΒ
What does "Google Authenticator compatible" mean?
It means that apps that ask you to use Google Authenticator for 2FA can be used in Aegis instead. Most authenticator apps do support this same standard at this point.
Did Google create this standard? I'm just not sure why they're being mentioned. It's like saying your email account is "Gmail compatible".
The standard is called TOTP and Google became synonymous with it because they pushed it in the late 2000s for Gmail and have a large user base. Other sites did have systems beforehand, like Paypay which had a dedicated fob, but that was not widely used. Gmail was likely most people's first experience with MFA and Google pushed their own Authenticator app (and didn't really advertise that others could be used). As other sites got on board, it was easier to tell people to use the app they use for google to get their code, since you could assume people had the app.
Basically that made a situation where people who had a different TOTP app knew their app would work with "Google Authenticator" but for those without an app or using Google Authenticator, they were likely unaware of the interoperability and standards behind the mechanisms.
Not really, my guess is that you can import your 2FA codes from Google Auth so it is mentioned as an alternative to it
It probably means that you can copy your keys between apps.
Shelter - isolate and run multiple instances of apps using Work Profiles.
Similar to Island and Insular.
Now You can have Private Space integrated into Android Out of the Box
Private space works slightly differently especially when it comes to folder organization. Because of that I actually still prefer Shelter, personally.
Could anyone ELI5 the difference between all these? Is there a "stock" Android work profile possible also?
Work profile is basically a second set of apps with a little briefcase badge that coexist next to your other apps. You/work chooses which apps are installed. They can't access the data in your actual profile and vice versa. You don't log out and in, it's just 2 containers spaces.
Private space is basically another such container, meant to be a 2nd personal one, but the apps aren't seen next to the others ... Theyre inert and hidden until you unlock the private space (pin/print/etc)
I think Android 15 is needed or thereabouts.
IDK about this 3rd party one being mentioned by adding it to my todo list
Thanks for the explanation. I'm just curious how island is different from shelter and insular.Β
CoMaps. Google Maps alternative. Can save paths and do navigation with TTS. Gets its data from the amazing OpenStreetMap.
Why use this app instead of OsmAnd?
ETA: Rereading, I realize this could have sounded very rude and sarcastic, I apologize - it was a genuine question.
For me, I have both of them.
co-maps I use when I need to add a place to open street map, and OSMAND I use for features that co-maps doesn't have.
Basically, co-maps is easier to use for things that it can do and OSMAND is harder to use but can do more things/different things.Β
How would you say the OSM editor is better in CoMaps than Osmand?
There is one big friendly button to add place to osm in comaps
That sounds cool. I'll give it a look.
I was a long time OsmAnd user, I loved that app. After a couple of years I realized, I really liked the cusomizability, but in the end, I use like 5% of it's features. I gave Organic Maps a try (now Co Maps after some community drama) and it was love at first sight. It's the opposite is OsmAnd, a lightweight and super simple app to look for places and navigation. I miss like one, maybe two features, but I the usability is great and I won't look back.
Thank you, I'll give it a look.
On-device routing and the map rendering is way faster in CoMaps.
OsmAnd has way more features.
If you just need basic navigation, I tend to go to CoMaps
OsmAnd is a great app for powerusers. CoMaps is a simpler, and more user friendly.
What's the difference between this and Organic Maps?
I think it's a fork that was made after some recent community drama. Probably the two apps should be pretty similar, although CoMaps is updated more frequently I think.
OSM and magic earth ?
osmand~ β frontend to openstreetmap with included pathfinder.
KDE Connect! Share files, clipboard, links from one device to another, use your phone as a mouse or laser pointer.
When you use the KDE Desktop Environment it will also show notifications from your phone and sync media controls (e.g. stop playback when you get a phone call). It's great!
This is by no means exclusive to KDE, though. Notifications and media control does work on other desktop environments as well (at least it does on XFCE), though media control has to be done inside the KDE connect app.
Now if the remote mouse control could show a 128x128 area of the screen under the mouse pointer on the phone...Sure I could get my ass up and read what the video title is then but... No.
Syncthing β Continuous file synchronization, self-hosted alternative to cloud.
I use this on my Macs β I think it works on all platforms? My use case is quite interesting. I have two Nintendo Switch emulators, one on a Mac and one on a MacBook. Due to the way Nintendo handles save files, it's not the same folder name from machine to machine. You'd think it would be something dumb like \saves{serial-of-game} but no, it's weird, it's dumb, and it makes syncing a challenge.
SyncThing isn't easy to set up, but it's doable. I had to find the folder on both systems (different names, of course) and I have ST set up to where if it detects a change in one, it updates the other.
For the test, I set up Animal Crossing on the Mac, played until I could generate a save (roughly 10-15 minutes, I think: you do character creation, then a tutorial, before you're allowed to go to sleep, and wake up with real-time enabled), then I booted it up on the MacBook and expected the save to load. I got a screen (within the game) I had never seen before, something about transferring my data to a new Switch (I'm guessing there's a hardware ID in there), but then, it worked. I might have to face that screen every time, but I did what Ninten-don't β I have an Animal Crossing save that lives on two machines at once. (And I never play it. I really just did it to see if I could. I play the game on my actual Switch, the actual game I paid for, because I wasn't trying to rip off Nintendo, really, just see if I could do it. And, ST was the tool I used to accomplish it.)
I have my Calibre library in SyncThing, so if I'm on my work PC and see a book I want to put on my Kobo I don't have to wait until I'm home. Its great!
Is there a android app again?
Yep
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingfork
PSA: The Syncthing fork repo has very recently been taken by a new maintainer without notice from the old one. However, the new maintainer seems to be in possession of the old PGP keys, which has made a lot of community members cautious/suspicious.
Related forum thread in the Syncthing forums
I've also found another client for Android: syncthing tray, which seems to come from a popular client for desktop but it also supports Android.
https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray
Personally, I find it a good replacement, though its gui is slightly slower and it does not support all the features that syncthing-fork has.
Check out Termux and running it inside the termux terminal. It's the same package as what you'd get from apt and battery life has actually been better compared to the android fork. Need to manually start it after a reboot though.
SyncThing is probably my most used bit of software after LibreWolf. I have it installed on all of the computers I use so I have damn near instant, magical access to a bunch of files. It's how I sync my photos from my Pixel.
It's funny, because SyncThing is basically the reason I barely use my iPad these days. While there is a way to make it work with iOS, it's irritating enough that I just don't bother, and I don't use iCloud storage anymore, so it's a pain in the arse getting documents to it compared to just dropping them in a ST folder that my phone can access.
Droid-ify
Way better F-Droid Client with many Repos Out of the box
Neostore is great too
"more repos = more apps out of the box" sounds nice in theory but IMO this is more of a downside than it might appear. Having a bunch of repos enabled out of the box means you have to be more careful about which repo offers what app and some apps are even offered in multiple repos. I got bit by this when I installed an app from IzzyOnDroid instead of F-Droid by accident.
With F-Droid you get the baseline repo that has high standards and then you can opt in to having additional repos that may have different or lower standards. Having those extra repos enabled by default may give a false reassurance that those other repos also conform to F-Droid's standards, or that those other apps are "in F-Droid" when really they're in IzzyOnDroid or some other third party repo. I've seen enough instances of that and there are a few even in this thread.
Or, if one wants to go the minimalist, smallest threat footprint way, one can go in the other direction and use F-Droid Classic. Think a debloated F-Droid, made by the F-Droid folks.
Are you talking about the one that was updated 4 years ago?
They may be talking about F-Droid Basic
Do you mean F-Droid Basic? F-Droid Classic is a fork, that hasn't been updated in several years
Yikes
Trail Sense - a lot of useful tools like compass, ruler, bubble level, metal detector, unit converter, 3D AR astronomy visualizer and many more.
I hate being reminded there's no compass in my phone, $600 pocket computer that can't find north, what a joke
I don't understand. There are lots of compass apps.
Yeah, but for folks like me and the guy above this doesn't matter. Our phones is missing the actual compass hardware inside the phone that said apps needs to function.
thanks this is so cool
This is very cool but their nap function isn't working for me despite being in a place very famous for its trails.
I use it all the time for the variable brightness flashlight and screen-as-light-source. Also sun and moon info, asteroid alerts.
And there's a bunch of stuff that's potentially very useful. Making a live map from a map image sounds very interesting, e.g. with a historical map.
Does this have maps of it's own?
QUIK SMS β Open source replacement to the stock messaging app on Android. It is a continuation of QKSMS.
I use this, it's pretty great! Not really a replacement for the stock app, but I use a non-stock OS so it doesn't matter to me. It is more like messaging before GIFs and whatnot, but not hard to figure those things out if you want them.
Mindustry: one of the few great games on f-droid (tower defense)
Mindustry is a great FOSS game, period. There's also Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
And pirate solitaire
FairScan to scan documents.
Is it good with handwriting?
It doesn't do OCR. It just automatically cleans up the pages for archival or sharing. (I use it to archive my handwritten notes and sketches, so technically yes ;-)
Capy Reader - RSS reader. Not only a cute capybara icon, but a really nice reader with regular updates.
I tried sooo many rss readers on android, some paid, some closed source, but Capy Reader is by far my favorite one especially because it supports notifications!
KISS Launcher - blazingly fast launcher focused on search
Seriously you don't know what you're missing if you're not using this.
Deleted by moderator
Every now and then I try a new launcher, but I always come back to Trebuchet. It just works, it's light, and I'm only one or two taps away from anything
This is amazing, thanks partner ;)
It's just not as pretty as lawnchair
AnkiDroid β Android client for the popular Anki spaced repetition system.
Element X β Matrix-based secure group and 1:1 messaging with E2EE support.
I want to use Matrix so bad, but my bridges to Telegram and Signal just... stopped working, completely. After which I promptly gave up on it and let my domain expire a few months later (the domain I'd had for 1.5 years, Matrix was the first thing I actually did with it lol).
Matrix is pretty rough, in many ways.
Element X in particular seems extremely half-baked. You can't even join matrix rooms with it.
FindMyDevice. Alternative to Googleβs find my device. You send a text from a different phone number, and you can do things like get the GPS location, lock the device, erase the device, ring the device, or have the device take a picture of its location.
Yikes
I agree. Ability for a third party phone text to wipe my phone? No thanks
And also track your location
You can configure which features you want to have enabled. I have this running with just the gps locate functionaly enabled in case I misplace my phone or my wife wants to check to see if I'm almost home yet or something.
Itβs a whitelist. Only phone numbers you explicitly allow can send commands. Alternatively, you can choose to enable a pin that must be given in order to execute commands.
Obtainium. Lets me install and track apps that aren't on fdroid yet, or are in alpha release.
Image Toolbox
Shrink, convert, stitch, draw, OCR, blur, do almost anything to an image.
Wow thanks for this!
Feeder: RSS reader
https://codeberg.org/svewa/MedicalCalendarLog
I use this every day to keep track of my medication, remind me of stuff I want to do regularly (measure weight, take specific meds but also chores). Disclaimer: I'm the author, could not find anything alike.
That looks cool, though I can't seem to find the "releases" section to download the apk...
I've been looking for a tracking app to replace one I use called Tickmate. It's so old and needs upgrades, but I've been using it for years and can't seem to find a better replacement
I also can't find releases on mobile. I see a bunch of f-froid publishing stuff at bottom or readme. Doesn't seem to be on f-froid now, but maybe will show up there eventually.
Just figured out how to do releases on codeberg. tell me if it works for you. also: ping @ragica@lemmy.ml
@ragica@lemmy.ml @glibg@lemmy.ca now with signed apk :D
URLCheck Share a URL to this app to preview it before opening, sharing or copying. It also has multiple neat features, like
- removing trackers
- quickly removing URL parts and extracting encoded text e.g. to skip redirection
- custom rewrites; can be applied automatically
That's one of the first app I install after installing F droid every time I format my device
I second this, one of my most used apps
Audile - music recognition app
I use Audire (does not require an audd.io API token). It's open source but only available in the IzzyOnDroid repository.
How does it compare to Shazam?
Firefox. Shouldn't need introduction.
Yes there are forks that may be better to use but let us not forget the one main browser family who's been giving us a chance at fighting against
Malwarebrowsers with zero respect for our privacy.I like that unlike Chrome, Firefox mobile can use all the extensions.
Just wish that firefox Android supports "right clicking" extensions, though.
Right now, extensions that use the right-click context menu to function (e.g. Singlefile) doesn't work that well on Android.
IronFox
Deleted by moderator
There's been a somewhat recent controversy with regards to stock Firefox selling our data. Many switched to LibreWolf fork after that.
Thank you for the warning and source.
I think I had read about this.
Personally I use IronFox on Android, but Firefox otherwise.
Even if we take this at worst case scenario, it is a much lesser evil than Google in my opinion.
And they still open source everything (I think?) and as far as I'm aware allow 100% configuration to remove or tweak anything we don't like one way or another.
More recently I was also not happy with their introduction of AI crap in the browser which can also be disabled.
It would be better to be disabled by default and even better not to be present, yes, but well...
As long as it does not get too out of hand and as long as they keep it open so anyone con remove that crap from forks and/or through configuration... Given our choices, I think they deserve recognition for their work.
Even if we don't agree with everything they do.
I never donated for them and used Firefox for over 20 years.
Even if it goes downhill really fast starting now (Which I hope it won't, and the future would suddenly turn much bleaker in this regard), I think I should be thankful for 20+ years of good service.
I never switched away from Firefox except for 2-3 of its forks on Android. And Librewolf as non main browser on pc.
I'm also keeping an eye on ladybird but not keeping my hopes up yet.
All that being said, your concerns are valid and I do share them. I just want to reinforce that when all is said and done.. No matter what the future looks like..
They were here for us for at least 20 years.
I completely agree with you. I am just frustrated at the fact that everything seems to get rotten sooner or later.
Just for the record, I personally use Vanadium on Android, which is what comes by default in GrapheneOS. So far I am happy with it as well.
I also keep an eye on ladybird, but they still have a long road to walk before i consider it a viable option for my day to day.
This thread is specifically about Android apps, so maybe the better suggestion would be "Fennec F-Droid"
what are your thoughts on the other firefox fork on android, ironfox?
Haven't used it, but generally I don't prefer hardened browsers. IMO the tradeoffs aren't worth it, personally.
WhoBird
Identifies Birds by their sound
Nice this uses a local model of birdNET?
Yes
I am US based, so maybe not relevant, but is it a good replacement for Merlin?
Catima - loyalty card wallet
I use this all the time also for gift cards.

FlorisBoard β Privacy-friendly, highly customizable open-source keyboard.
I love FlorisBoard. It doesn't have autocorrect yet... which is one of it's best features
Lichess
Chess on and offline
Many of the apps I use have already been mentioned so I thought I'd plug Tessel.
Tubular - a Newpipe like player for youtube, that automatically skips ads and promotion content...
Does it work with VPNs?
If it doesn't then it's because of youtube, not because of the app...
I believe so. From my experience, using it with TOR proxy made it somewhat unreliable.
Metro - A Music Player For Android
Very, very nice music app for those with a local library.
OpenSudoku, really good sudoku app
BinaryEye to create, scan and store QR Codes
Markor - A markdown/text editor app. It is frankly not the best in terms of design, but it does have quite a few neat features.
Eh, I don't think it has a bad design, it's just very utilitarian which I like. Markor is my favorite app for notes and text files on the fly.
I agree, but I also know that there are many people with an eye of design and there are other alternatives.
But Markor is my favorite app, especially because it can edit .md files from the filesystem (kinda like Obsidian for mobile but FOSS)
Personally I love the quicknote tab. I use it to make fast notes for whatever I have to do or need for groceries etc
Tempus: An open source and lightweight music client for subsonic.
It's a fork of Tempo.
Uh, nice I didn't know tempo was forked, thanks for sharing :) I'll make the switch

Onlyoffice. Despite the controversies with this one, most people use big tech apps sometimes full of ads for simple document editing. Also, onlyoffice is so ligthweight in comparison, that it runs nice even on very low end phones
Metrolist!
An incredible app for music listening on YouTube(no video rendering).
Of course no ads and background playing like a lot of other apps, but honestly this one has a fantastic ui and is above a lot of other apps. I seriously recommend it.
Thanks, hopefully this one stays functional for longer than the others!
I'm using *Outer Tune* right now and like it as well.
They really look alike ! Considering outertune is still in beta, I probably won't switch as I have a smooth experience so far with metrolist but good to know in case something goes wrong.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dnsfilter.android/ personalDNSfilter. DNS proxy filter. You can use your favorite block lists to block ads and trackers in a browser but also in most any other app. You can add your own rules and it doesn't need root.

RadarWeather β Watch the weather without location tracking.
Looking at the last change notes, the Dev stated that they're no longer maintaining the app due to openweathermap now requiring credit card info. Looks like they suggested using Cirrus instead.
ThumbKey A 3x3 keyboard that made it drastically easier for me to type on my phone without doing thumb acrobatics. Took me a couple weeks to internalize its layout, but now that I did I can't go back to qwerty.
Ok, this layout is messing with my head, but I do want to make it work...

Red Moon. Blue light filter for screen. Makes it less hurting for eyes to use phone at night, or generally in dark.
I use this for it's ability to simulate brightness levels lower than what the system will allow normally.
Oooh I bet this will work for viewing my salt water aquarium at night so I can see the nocturnal critters and corals at work!
Or maybe I just got a little too excited because this is for the output light filter and not the camera/input.
It is for output / screen. But I like your enthusiasm about using open source for salt water aquarium π
When I get to the point where I need a controller I am planning to use reef-pi.

God this is such a lifesaver. And insane how useless android is that it can't fucking save files by default
Tabs Lite let's you search for songs, fetches lyrics and tabs, chords from the web and stores them offline on your device. You can organize all the songs in playlists as well.
Edit: It's in IzzyOnDroid repository
Hum I get a 404 page not found and f droid can't find it as well.
Me, too. Too bad, I was excited to see a guitar app.
Strange, my Neo Store opens it fine

Buran, a Gemini protocol browser.
The posts by Ivan odintsiff are very cool to read. He writes about his discoveries in Gemini.
The only thing that sucks is Buran, or any Gemini browser for that matter, haven't been updated in years which makes for some frustrating issues browing Gemini sometimes.
I don't use it intensely, it feels like discovering the old web, I just browse occasionally. I'm not really sure what to look for, as everything can be found on the web. Hard to describe.
Oh it is a fantastic little hidden niche of the internet. If you haven't got a chance already look at Gemini:/midnight.pub
Great little forum-like community
I use Noutube for youtube music and videos. It's basically just a wrap of the mobile sites, but it blocks ads and plays while screen is locked.

WG Tunnel is a really useful wireguard client I've been using for a while.
I use it to automatically enable a wireguard tunnel to my home network as soon as i leave my home WiFi. And I can assign different wireguard configs to different wifi networks when im out and about where the default wireguard config might be blocked, and it will switch between them automatically.
It has loads of other useful features too.
accrescent is a great appstore with limited apps, my favourite is beautyxt and DNSnet, give it a try!
Note that, although (AFAIK) the Accrescent client is free software, it's hardcoded to only support their own store which last I checked had no guarantee that it only offers free software. Its marketing seemed to rely a lot on spreading FUD about F-Droid even though it fundamentally serves a different purpose than F-Droid.
Thank you for adding important context.
