  • syncthing-android

    Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

    It's for cloud storage.

  • QKSMS

    The most beautiful SMS messenger for Android

  • android_usb_msd

    Better and open source replacement for DriveDroid

    There used to be USB Mountr, an app that allowed you to load an iso and emulate an usb drive containing that iso. It was awesome, you could feg. load a Windows install iso and install it from your phone to PC. Or load a linux live distro and run it on your PC straight from the phone.

  • Ventoy

    A new bootable USB solution.

    Last but not least there is also Ventoy. Short explanation: Install Ventoy to a usb drive, put all your isos in one folder on that drive. Now when you boot that usb drive you will see the ventoy menu, and it will allow you to boot any of the isos you put in the folder. Very handy.

  • changedetection.io

    The best and simplest free open source web page change detection, website watcher, restock monitor and notification service. Restock Monitor, change detection. Designed for simplicity - Simply monitor which websites had a text change for free. Free Open source web page change detection, Website defacement monitoring, Price change notification

    - Anytracker: I tried selfhosting changedetection.io but it doesn't have an app and you have to configure the notification channels yourself.

  • openboard

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

  • AmazeFileManager

    Material design file manager for Android

    I think you'd like Amaze and Material Files. They both don't have an option for webdav though.

  • MaterialFiles

  • qralarm-android

    QRAlarm is an Android alarm clock application that lets the user turn off alarms by scanning the QR Code.

    Not exactly the same but maybe QRAlarm is close enough. User must scan a QR code to dismiss the alarm. Idea is to print the QR code and place it somewhere far enough from your bed that you have to get up to go scan it.
