FOSS : On Droid

Code is Source   fossdroid android

As we know, Android is widely popular OS for many phone. But these days its all filled with junks and bloated apps, these are to say so called “Popular Android Apps” or “Trending Apps”. The reason simply would be “everyone in my circle uses it” or “I use it because they use it”.

But surely you are not giving yourself some privacy or space that you need for your own personal phone. I’m talking about using Free/Libre and Open Source (FOSS) Apps. Free doesn’t mean by price, Free means Freedom. Freedom that comes with :

  • No Trackers.
  • No Ads.
  • Minimal permission.
  • Has customization to users need.
  • No Restrictions.

These can be achieved in this modern time, by Discovering and using FOSS Apps, the best place being F-droid or r/fossdroid.

There are pretty much all apps under FOSS area for every purpose, they are good looking with Modern UI, Lots of Customizations and friendly with Battery.

I happened to search for book and novel reader and found very good apps there, like QuickNovel. There is a Manga reader and lots more for every purpose.

I exclusively use every apps from F-droid, because they are great. You should also use it, as you might find something interesting and surely, gets Surprised; and say in your head, Gosh I should have known this before.


Some of the cool apps I use everyday :

Class Apps
Launcher Kvæsitso (izzydroid, git)
F-droid Client Neo Store (fdroid, git)
Browser Mull (fdroid, git)
Rss Reader Read You (fdroid, git)
YouTube LibreTube (fdroid, git)
PDF/Ebook Reader Librera Reader (fdroid, git)

Keyboard Unexpected Keyboard (fdroid, git)
Media Player VLC (fdroid, git)
Gallery + Calendar (many more) Simple Tools Suite (fdroid, git, site)

With that fossed, I hope your phone gets a new life and finally breathes alive!
