Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps

Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store^[1]^
Termius -> ConnectBot^[2]^
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge^[3]^
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail
YouTube -> LibreTube
Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News^[4]^
Google Drive -> Nextcloud^[4]^
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes^[4]^
Spotify -> SubTune^[4]^
YouTube Music -> ViMusic
Google Chrome -> Mull

^1^- You need a Google account.
^2^ - The UX is not as good as Termius.
^3^ - The UI looks like garbage, but does it's job.
^4^ - You need to selfhost a server.

Android FOSS alternatives to FOSS apps

Jellyfin -> Findroid
F-Droid -> Droid-ify

Desktop FOSS

Windows -> Fedora 38 Workstation
Firefox -> LibreWolf (telemetry free, hardened firefox)

Other software

Android -> Lineage OS
Linux server -> Debian (without GUI)
Smart home -> Home Assistant
SMS -> Signal
DNS -> Adguard Home (selfhosted)

Other services

Google -> Qwant (it's so good!)

Because it's opensource too. Works very well, vault is password protected and AES encrypted. Easy to configure, very lightweight.

I want every app I use to be built on Material Design 3. It looks like Aegis is not based on it.

also open source, it was recommended on reddit, and I wanted an alternative to Authy, which backs up config in the cloud, encrypted.
