    I wouldn’t watch YouTube if it wasn’t for Newpipe.

    Thanks for this great discussion question! I’d just flag that we’d generally ask that submitters also include some information of their own to to jumpstart the conversations. So I’d also ask you, what are your favourite FOSS apps and why? Feel free to edit your post and include in the description!

    Nextcloud - easily access my self-hosted cloud storage from anywhere when needed. Firefox - browse the web, been a Firefox Stan for ages K-9 Mail - I love the flexibility offered by this mail app AntennaPod - it’s been the best podcast app that I’ve come across that’s also pretty configurable Jerboa - Lemmy :P

      Are you me?

      Also, have you hooked up Antennapod to Nextcloud via Gpoddersync? That’s been a godsend for me as I’ve been swapping phones a lot recently.

        Any chance you also listen to them on PC? I’m looking to move away from Pocket Casts to Antennapod but haven’t looked into desktop players yet (web/win&lin)

          KDE makes a podcast client called Kasts, and it syncs with gpoddersync on Nextcloud so you’re synced to Antennapod as well. It’s not a half bad interface.

            Thanks for this. I’ve been using it for almost 2 weeks and aside from having to manually tell Lasts/AntennaPod to sync it’s been a seamless replacement for pocket casts. Well, once I figure out how to get the f-droid version of AntennaPod to play nice with Android auto (a problem I only came across yesterday)

            That’s again for the recommendation.

        I tried setting it up awhile ago but gave up pretty quickly. I’ll have to give that another shot though

    Aves libre is the best Foss app I’ve used for managing a picture library.

    learned about Organic Maps recently and its a really nice (albeit very simple, for now) open street maps client for GPS navigation. The interface is super nice

    Material files is by far my favorite file browser app, I’ve been using it since before I paid much attention to foss vs proprietary

    Droidify is my fav f-droid client

        I don’t think I realized it has shizuku support, that’s pretty neat

          The automatic updating is great for us rootless folks.

            I’m rootless also, but haven’t played much with shizuku. I just went and enabled it, I’m curious to see the improvement next time I have lots of updates available!
