  1. GeometricWeather

    A Material Design Weather Application

    Geometric Weather (https://github.com/WangDaYeeeeee/GeometricWeather). Imo, the cleanest looking weather app you can get, replaces Samsungs default weather apps widgets, incredibly light to use while not leaving anything out and it's also FOSS (and respects privacy)

    I didn't see FairEmail mentioned yet https://email.faircode.eu/ and also the TrailSense multitool https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense is one of my favorites. Plus I prefer AdAway over AdGuard.

    I didn't see FairEmail mentioned yet https://email.faircode.eu/ and also the TrailSense multitool https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense is one of my favorites. Plus I prefer AdAway over AdGuard.

  8. openboard

    100% FOSS keyboard, based on AOSP (by erkserkserks)

    OpenBoard with gesture typing is exactly what you're looking for. I was in the exact same boat for a LOOOONG time until I found this gem.

    Mull, a hardened Firefox clone developed by the DivestOS team.

    OsmAnd~, an excellent OpenStreetMap-based maps app that is insanely configurable and does everything I want from it. (Get it for free on F-Droid.)

  11. simple-keyboard

    Simple Keyboard, a keyboard that is great at being a keyboard and nothing else. No spell checking, no suggestions, no swiping, no superfluous permissions, no bloat, no tracking. Because the simple life is the best life.

  12. OlauncherCF

    Discontinued Olauncher CF. Simple and Clutter-Free Android launcher

    OlauncherCF, a simple, beautiful and effective launcher.

  13. URL-Radio

    Discontinued Simply URL Radio Application for Android

    URL Radio, a very simple radio player.

  14. Aegis

    A free, secure and open source app for Android to manage your 2-step verification tokens.

    Aegis, the best 2FA app I've come across.

  15. wormhole-william

    End-to-end encrypted file transfer. A magic wormhole CLI and API in Go (golang).

    Wormhole William, a slightly janky Android implementation of magic wormhole, for simple file sharing between devices. Mostly works!

  16. SSffmpegVideoOperation

    This is a library of FFmpeg for android... 📸 🎞 🚑

    Unfortunately oxygenos doesn't allow that (it have 7 trackers), thanks for link though. Also if you are finding alternative foss app, here thery are : * Video-Image editor * Video transcoder
