  • FairEmail

    Fully featured, open source, privacy friendly email app for Android

  • For a mail app, I would suggest FairEmail – a FOSS and privacy focused mail application with many great fearures. I use it everyday and must say that I’ve never used a better Android mail client than this one. The app is available on F-Droid, PlayStore (which obviously isn’t an option for a FOSS phone) & GitHub, for more info see https://email.faircode.eu

  • koler

    Just a phone app.

  • Check out Koler on F-Droid

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • davx5-ose

    DAVx⁵ is an open-source CalDAV/CardDAV suite and sync app for Android. You can also access your online files (WebDAV) with it.

  • In order to sync contacts and calendars: DAVx5 (https://www.davx5.com/)

  • Seedvault

    A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.

  • I can understand the OS/theme being custom, I was mainly joking about the device colour. Anyways as an app suggestion I was thinking maybe SeeVault. LineageOS comes with it baked in as a GDrive alternative.

  • GmsCore

    Free implementation of Play Services

  • You should consider using the MicroG project to replace Google Play Services. https://microg.org/

  • Camera

    Modern camera app focused on privacy and security with QR & barcode scanning.

  • Android

    DuckDuckGo Android App (by duckduckgo)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • hardened_malloc

    Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

  • Sandboxed Google Play services from GrapheneOS would be far better. They act as a regular app with no greater permissions than a user-installed app.

  • Vanadium

    Privacy and security enhanced releases of Chromium for GrapheneOS. Vanadium provides the WebView and standard user-facing browser on GrapheneOS. It depends on hardening in other GrapheneOS repositories and doesn't include patches not relevant to the build targets used on GrapheneOS.

  • I know you said you don't really want Chromium but i'm using Vanadium for years and i've been very happy with it: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium
