      Thanks for recommending Libretube. I just switched to GrapheneOS and was looking for a FOSS revanced replacement without the need for Play Services or MicroG. Libretube is absolutely perfect.

      I’ve seen Bitwarden show up in this thread a few times. I’ve been a longtime user of KeePassX. Is there any particular reason I should consider switching?

        What made me choose bitwarden is the emergency access feature.

        It allows to designate someone as an emergency contact. This person can request access to your vault and if you don’t deny the request then they will have access after x days.

        This way, if something happens to me then someone in my close family can still access my account.

        I got the case recently with my brother in law who got into an accident and thanks God his laptop was not locked so my sister could access his accounts.

        Because if not it can be a nightmare ! Having to deal with all the utilities company, harassing you because you did not pay the bill that arrived on a locked email account, then not being able to pay the bill anyways because you have to connect on they website … on top of getting your husband and the father of your child in the hospital in a coma.

          This is a very good point. I’ve often wondered about a safe and secure method of getting my important passwords to a family member in the unfortunate event that something should happen to me.

          That said, I’m very sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.

        IMO KeePassXC’s UI is way better than Bitwarden’s, but Bitwarden has very convenient syncing and a browser extension that actually works with almost any website.

        I used to use KeePassXC and KeepassDX on my phone, syncing them through Syncthing. But depending on Syncthing and the clients always making the right changes to the one database file without destroying something never felt good and always having to run Syncthing in the background on my phone probably didn’t do its battery life any favors.

        Add to that some frustrations with the browser extension and that’s why I decided to switch to Bitwarden in the end.

    These two are now the first apps I install on any new device:

    • Kiss launcher (simple and fast)
    • Articons icon pack

    Basically, my approach is to (mostly) prioritize text over icons, and reduce the colors I need to process.

    Other apps:

    • Brave browser (for YouTube and built-in anti-tracking features.)
    • Librera (ebook/PDF reader with lots of features)
    • Odyssey (local music player optimized for speed. My library is so large that all the other players were having trouble finding songs.)
    • Graph 89 (TI graphing calculator emulator)
    • Feeder (RSS feed aggregator)

        Yeah that stuff is a bit obnoxious, but once you get browsing it doesn’t come up, at least for me. Well worth it for no YouTube ads and making tracking more difficult.

    • LineageOS: my Android ROM of choice

    • LineageOS for MicroG: the ROM on my second phone where I quarantine my use of apps that refuse to work without Google services (mostly stuff I need for business travel e.g. Amtrak, Google Maps)

    • Aurora Store: allows installation of most Play Store apps without login. I mainly use this on the MicroG phone, but it’s also needed to get the ProtonMail and ProtonCalendar apps (only ProtonVPN is on F-Droid)

    • TrackerControl: allows fine tuned domain blocking on a per-app basis. Often allows you to block just ads and trackers but still be able to use an app or at least many of its features.

    • Arcticons: monochrome line art icons (because I hate fun and want my GUIs to look like a terminal)

    • AsteroidOS Sync: WearOS replacement. AsteroidOS still has a long way to go, but I doubt WearOS would play nicely with LineageOS and I don’t want all the tracking anyway.

    • Bubble: bubble level by woheller69 (a true F-Droid GOAT)

    • FlorisBoard: afaik, only FOSS gesture typing Android keyboard (besides AnySoft, which doesn’t seem to work consistently)

    • GMaps WV: fairly locked-down web viewer for Google Maps (sadly OSM just doesn’t have a usably complete business directory where I live)

    • Lawnchair: launcher with all the features I want except being up to date on F-Droid

    • Librera: the PDF reader on F-Droid that I hate the least. (Anyone got any better recommendations?)

    • NewPipe: ad-free Youtube player with locally stored subscriptions and playlists. An IzzyOnDroid fork with SponsorBlock is also available.

    • QKSMS: my SMS app of choice

    • Signal: because I can’t convince my friends to switch to Briar

    • SpoTube: pirate ad-free Spotify that works by looking up tracks on Youtube. Is therefore limited by what’s available on YT and sometimes plays wrong tracks, but you can’t beat the price :] Even interfaces with a Spotify account to play and edit playlists.

    • Standard Notes: E2E encrypted cloud-synced notes. Also accessible by web browser, which has saved my ass a few times while phoneless

    • Weather: by BeoCode on F-Droid

    • VLC: everyone’s favorite traffic cone boi

    Blender and Firefox for me have always been the apps that have their shit together the most. Both I perceive as insanely complicated pieces of software with a lot of features that work really well and compete with for profit corporations with way more resources.

      I’m really impressed with how far Blender has come. Some seriously good stuff. Doesn’t feel like it has stagnated at all, good UI changes, cool new tools… I’m not a big user of it lately, but it’s cool to see how much progress it has made over the years.

    KDE Connect means that I can ping my phone that’s usually presumably somewhere behind my bed or on a counter somewhere, without having to sheepishly walk to the nearest person and ask “can you call my phone I lost it :c”
