Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).
Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?
In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS…
I use CalyxOS so completely degoogled because everything passes through microG. I have the following;
- Phone (CalyxOS)
- Quik (texting)
- Fennec (Firefox w security)
- Thunderbird
- Google Pixel Camera app, firewalled, and any services go through microG
Phone (proprietary); Beeper (partial-FOSS); DuckDuckGo (FOSS?); Mlem (FOSS)
Well - Kind of.
- Snapchat (not FOSS at all afaik)
- Aliucord (Modded client for Discord, at least partially open source)
- Summit (FOSS)
- Signal (FOSS, I think)

Didn’t know Summit had gone FOSS! Thanks mate! 💙
Well as I don’t have a dock in Niagara Pro I just go on with the apps I pinned:
Telephone, standard dailer from android : ✔️
WhatsApp, eeeeh: ❌ ❌ ❌
Discord: ❌
Firefox: ✔️
Proton Mail: well not FOSS (at least the paid tiers) but OSS
Proton Calendar: same thing
Jerboa: ✔️
Tusky: ✔️
Grayjay: I guess yeah to both (with license) ✔️
M.A.L.P: check and check ✔️
I don’t have a fixed bottom row.
I’ve got maximum two pages. Folder Cover mode is much more efficient. (I hope for an immersive (full screen) mode some day)
90% foss of all apps.
What’s not foss? banking, gov broadcasters, arte, ard, zdf, german train app, magic earth, ebay, dict.cc, car sharing,
dict.cc is really great! And at least the German<>English dictionary used is FOSS: https://dict.zero-g.net/
Nice, I didn’t know that. Unfortunately, I have to use deepl/linguee in “a lot” of cases
I think they should make ard, zdf and arte open source!
Yes! It’s bonkers that they did not yet do it
I also think that they should work with the same backend and similar frontend. But they rather pay 5 people do to the same job

IronFox (web browser)
-
Fossify Caller app
-
QUIK (SMS)
-
Molly (Signal)
-
Libretube (YouTube)
-
Thunder (Lemmy).
Oops, all FOSS! :)
The only proprietary apps that see regular use on my phone are my banking app and Spotify.
Why Molly? Doesn’t being unofficial mean always being a step behind in security updates?
If I were having high-stakes conversations, I might agree, but any slight delays in updates is unlikely to affect me. I’m not a high-stakes target of any sort.

Yep, all except for two: Crumpet and our Bank app. We can be pretty sure of this as we run CalyxOS and we have too many apps to list otherwise as everything on our ‘dock’ is in folders.
- Phone app, which is com.Android.dialer that seems kind of (F)OSS at least(?)
- Contacts app, same as phone app: com.android.contacts
- Telegram client Forkgram which is partly OSS but contains unfree stuff upstream + relies completely on non-free service (telegram server +client)
- Email: K9/thunderbird android full FOSS
- Browser: Iceraven which is a fork of Firefox Android. It comes with the MPL (Mozilla public license) but I think it also contains non-free binaries or assets, so mostly FOSS I would say?
@LeFrog @lemmydividebyzero
⚠️You put the same link, Forkgram’s, for K9/thunderbird android and Iceraven.Thx for the hint, is fixed now
@LeFrog
Err…
The K9/thunderbird android still has the same link.This may be due to slow federation of edits. You are using a Mastodon account, right? The feseratuin maybe needs some additional time then
@LeFrog @lemmydividebyzero
Please, could you tell me how you made these hyperlinks, so they have the text appearing instead of the link, like how do in Markdown link ❓️The syntax is this:
[some text](https://my-cool-url.com/nice)which is then rendered like this: some textThe complete “markdown source code” of my comment is this:

- ❌ Messages - com.google.android.apps.messaging (Samsung)
- ❌ Chrome - com.android.chrome
- ❌ Camera - com.sec.android.app.camera (Samsung)
The thing is, I keep them there as a “last resort”, not as main use.
@lemmydividebyzero
They are Fossify Phone, Fossify Voice Recorder, Fossify Camera, Fossify File Manager and Settings. So, 80% FOSS!I use Total Launcher, and don’t have an “app dock”.
- Super Productivity
- SchildiChat Next
- Open Camera (installed due to this post! replacing the default samsung camera app)
- Fennec
- SimpleX
- Fossify Phone
- Firefox ✅
- SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
- WhatsApp ❌
- stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
- OpenCamera ✅
3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.
