What is your must have open source application available on fdroid?
New pipe - the YouTube front end is absolutely critical for my lifestyle.
Unciv is a fully-fledged Civilization clone. It’s honestly insane that such a polished game is not only free, but also open source.
- Newpipe (adfree YouTube client)
- Thunder (responsive Lemmy client)
- Geometric Weather (great weather app)
- FBreader (low resource eBook reader)
- KDE connect (sync between phone and laptop)
- Glider (HackerNews app)
- Orgzly (needlessly complex org-mode renderer)
- Skymap (Position-aware constellation viewer)
- Open Camera (impressive photo app)
- PianOli (fun piano app)
- Moonlight (game streaming client)
- WLANScanner (find hidden WiFi camera/devices/networks in hotels)
use breezy weather as geometric isn’t updated anymore

how does ping work on lemmy?
Breezy is better anyhow. I’m pretty blown away by it since finding it a week ago.
And I honestly really liked geometric weather too.
what’s the org name for Thunder? Searching thunder or lemmy doesn’t get results, search is pretty shit.
OsmAnd~
Makes navigating around easier especially as someone who likes walking.
Edit because somebody mentioned about the lack of description and link of apps:
OsmAnd~ is a FOSS alternative to Google Maps and uses OpenStreetMap for its data. You can download it here.
I keep trying OpenStreetMaps based mapping apps, but giving up on them because they can never seem to find locations I search for by address.
Termux (Linux terminal) is super cool, and you can install a lot of cools programs through it as well. Add in the plugins for tasker integration/etc and it can be used for some pretty cool things (ie, use wol to wake up your computer when you get close to your house, etc).
That’s really interesting. Are you using a keyboard and mouse? Or is this like on a Android desktop setup?
By default the app is just a terminal with an on-screen keyboard. Packages installed and run through it are normally terminal only, although there is some amount of support for connecting to a separate app that runs an x server.
There are several other projects that download arm Linux distributions, and install them inside termux to get a full desktop going though. Normally for these you actually interact with the desktop through a VNC client connected to a localhost VNC running on the Linux distro. A VNC client is a good way to handle accessing the desktop since most of them come with a lot of UI design/polish for controlling a desktop computer via a phone screen.
