My expenses : review request

I'd like to use this app and looks fine. Concerns are: 1. Is this app still open source ? 2. How to verify any backdoor / sending my data to a remote location. I think the app is good and gonna purchase it, but I need to confirm the above. Thanks,

Any good foss image/video/audio editor apps?

Apps that I know: * For images - Pocketpaint, Freepaint Fossify Gallery has a basic editor with draw, crop and filters. Tux paint is also nice to draw stuff. * For video * Video transcoder allows basic cutting of audio n video. * Saw an app called Bunny media editor, that allowed basic image and video cropping and cutting. * I've also heard that some people use Termux for it Are there other apps like these? Which all apps do you use to edit images/videos and make memes etc?

Anyone know any FOSS measuring apps?

One that use the camera to give an approximate distance between two objects? Tape measure has some features, but needs a known reference object in the same plane. And most of the predefined objects are not common where I live. It does have an option to define custom reference objects. But are there any apps that do not need a reference object? Thanks in advance.

F-Droid core It’s no secret that F-Droid continues to live and thrive thanks in part to you, the users that donate, but also in part thanks to different grants we’ve received along these 14 years of existence. Our recent post covered the endangered NGI program and its importance. The Guardian Project has been a long time supporter of F-Droid, pouring in not only grant money but also human resources. They are now looking for a part-time Grant Administrator so if you find the list of their achievements tempting and your skills match the bullet points, don’t be shy and get in contact. Who knows, maybe you can be featured here next. 😛 Back in May we’ve highlighted the work contributors around F-Droid have done in order to shine a light onto the app downloads stats. The Divested (thanks!) hosted page just got an update, covering the weeks since then: https://divestos.org/pages/fdroid_stats /PS: if you are involved with the project(s) that download Termux packages 300.000 times per week, two advices: first, do get in contact with us because we’re curious about your work, and second please try to setup a round robin script of sorts that downloads from mirrors instead since we have plenty of those and it’s not in anyone’s benefit that you download 25-30Tb of data from our servers each and every week. 😐

Voice assistant and/or car UI

I would like to control few functions while driving. navigation (osmand), play music (multiple apps) are main ones. As of now I think either voice assistant or car UI are 2 options. So are there any apps supporting these?

FOSS replacement for Samsung Health?

Well, now that Samsung Health is collecting data for third parties, it's time to move on. I'm looking for a GPS exercise tracking app that reads out mile splits. Anyone have a suggestion? I use Strava as well, but that doesn't give the audio splits.

Do you use apps like NetGuard or TrackerControl? How are they like?

NetGuard - https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/ TrackerControl - https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/ How was your experience with them? Differences in battery life etc. Another doubt: I had tried NetGuard some years ago to restrict internet access of apps like Gboard n Gdrive(I use the pdfviewer associated with it. Any lightweight foss alternatives to it?). Was planning to use it again, but saw that eventhough they have a recent update, their Github doesn't allow issues and the latest pull request are from 2023. Is there some change in the app? Have they transferred to Gitlab or Codeberg. I don't know much details about programming, so asking the doubt here because of the Simple apps transfer issue that I heard recently. Thanks in advance. Edit: Mentioned the usecase for gdrive

Help me pick one of the habit trackers available through F-Droid?

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)? The ones in my scope thus far are: - [Table Habit](https://github.com/FriesI23/mhabit) - [Kudoku](https://github.com/Mazahir26/koduko) - [Loop Habit Tracker](https://github.com/iSoron/uhabits) - [Habo](https://github.com/xpavle00/Habo) - and "[Habits](https://github.com/willbsp/habits)" TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker

How do you follow fdroid repo updates?

I don't keep auto-sync on repositories turned on and use an rss feed from the fdroid subredd to follow updates to the repo. I also know of https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds. Are there any other methods or official feeds?

Looking for FOSS SMS app recommendations. (Android 14)

Looking for a FOSS SMS app that is fully compatible with Android 14. I've had issues with finding one, I used to use (I think) QKSMS, but it started to crash when I upgraded to LOS 21. Now I just use the LineageOS SMS app, I think it is AOSP messages. What SMS apps do you use? No required features. Scheduled texts are nice, though.

How do you switch clients?

I'm using the official F-Droid client now but I'd like to switch to another one. The problem is I have some third party repos added and I don't really know how F-Droid works (it seems to have a lot of modules for app installation). I don't want to break it or reflash my whole OS. So can I just uninstall the previous client, install the new one and add the repos back or are there any additional steps I must follow on order for it not to cause any issues? EDIT: thank you to everyone who replied. I did what was recommended the most (installed 2 clients alongside and deleted the old one after copying all repos and settings) and it seems to be working fine.

Countdown Calendar App?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a countdown calendar app that can tell me how many days it is until a certain day in the future. It'd be nice if it could save the date so that I wouldn't have to continually re-enter it. Is there anything good like that on F-Droid?

Does anyone know any offline audio/media player app with the 'Skip silence' option?

Newpipe and Just (video) player have this function, but the former cannot play offline files and the latter cannot play audio files. I can rename the audio file to mp4 and play it in Just player, but it doesn't have a background play option. From what I've searched on the net, in both apps the feature us implemented from ExoPlayer. On F-droid, Auxio audio player mentions ExoPlayer, but does not seem to have the feature available. Are there any foss apps that has the feature to Skip silence for audio files?

Are there any good FOSS TTS engines?

[espeak](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.reecedunn.espeak/)'s apk doesn't seem to have been updated in 2 years and says it isn't compatible with my phone (Pixel 8a). I'm not sure if there are any decent ones. I want TTS for OSMAnd's navigation while driving. They do prerecorded voices too but those can only say prerecorded things obviously, so eg can't say specific road names.

FOSS replacement for Firefox Focus?

Title. I use Firefox Focus because it's easy to clear history by just hitting the Delete button and it saves very little to no information on app exit. I know the Duck Duck Go privacy browser does this as well, but it's more of a full-fledged browser with bookmarks and everything else. Where I'm just looking for something super lightweight and quick.

Dark Reader Broken On Fennec And Mull

I use Fennec as my default android browser, but since it updated to 127.0.0 the Dark Reader extension has been broken. Some sites like github are in light mode by default, when I checked Dark Reader's option a message saying that dark theme is detected on the page, but the page is in light mode. Other pages like Brave search are also on light mode but the message, now said something about the site been on a global dark list (I don't know what that means but it's blinding me) this aren't the only websites with this issue by the way, so every time I browse the internet is like playing russian roulette with my eyes, not knowing when is going to be dark or light. Tried Mull but is the same problem. Tried to change to Midnight Lizard and Dark Background and Light Text but neither work as smoothly as Dark Reader used to work.

Aard 2 - Offline dictionary app f-droid.org

I started using it last year and I think others would benefit from knowing about it too. Offline dictionaries(based on data from wikipedia, wiktionary etc.): https://github.com/itkach/slob/wiki/Dictionaries I use the Wordnet and SimpleWikipedia dictionaries along with the one for the Wiktionary in my native language. ______ Going on a tangent about the dictionaries(you can skip this if you're currently not interested on that): They had a Malayalam dictionary, which was quite awesome for me, as I'm a Malayali. The dictionary is based on ml.wiktionary.org from 2021. Maybe there were not too many additions for the effort to make a new one. The code for creating the dictionaries are also available in their github. I tried it out, but I'm on Opensuse Leap currently and installing couchdb seems tricky. I also saw a python package, [Pyglossary](https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/), which helps to convert dictionaries between opensource formats. Wikipedia provides monthly dumps of zim files(used in Kiwix, another dictionary app. Not available in F-droid). https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/kiwix/zim/ I was able to use Pyglossary to convert those into slob files and use them. So might be an easier way to get slob files, if slob files of Wiktionary or Wikipedia in your language are not available. Or if you want to update them. Data scraping is also avoided.

Check the new Power Ampache app! github.com

Years ago, when Owncloud was still the only self hosted cloud solution around, the Music app used to come with an Ampache backend to connect to your music through client apps. My favorite for Android was Power Ampache, it was almost the only one, that and an extension for the really old Just Player. After a while, a Subsonic server was added to the Music app and these Subsonic clients proliferated. So, I switched to a Subsonic client, then another, and another... none was really doing it for me. DSub is great but looks dated and lacks some features, others are not mature enough, and some I just find too barebones. Recently, Power Ampache 2 was released, and even though it's still in beta or even alpha, it already looks great and my favorite client again. Check it out if you have an Ampache server or a Nextcloud instance with music!
