What Are Some Great Android Open Source Alternative Apps? (lemmy.ml)

I've recently decided to switch out my Playstore apps for Open Source Apps as they're usually Ad Free and much less bloated. Can we use this thread to help people find open source android apps?

I'll start

K-9 mail, a great email alternative that let's you have multiple users logged in

Red Moon - A customisable night light app which lets you adjust the colour and settings including Colour, opacity and Darkness

Swift Notes - Note taking app

If you use a Nextcloud server, there's a good collection of apps (some official, some third-party) that work with it. The ones I use:

Nextcloud - main app, does authentication, file access, optional auto-upload photos Nextcloud Notes - kind of like Google Keep, but simpler. (IIRC Carnet is more like Keep, and also open) Nextcloud Talk - instant messaging, supposedly can do voice but I've never used it for that Nextcloud News - RSS reader that syncs your feeds and read/unread through your Nextcloud server

Plus these apps that aren't Nextcloud-specific, but work with it and other sync methods:

OpenTasks - ToDo list (needs Dav5x to sync) DAVx5 - Syncs contacts, calendars and to-do items between any CalDav, CardDav or WebDav servers and your Android system, so you can access them with any local contacts or calendar app. (For instance: K-9 Mail can use contacts from my Google account and my Nextcloud account, and Simple Calendar can do the same with my calendars.) Floccus - Bookmarks manager that can sync across multiple desktop browsers and the mobile app, using any of several sync options including Nextcloud

You host your own WebDAV? If so, what software you running for it?

NextCloud provides WebDAV access for its file storage, in addition to the sync apps.
