Awesome Android Apps
AAA
Hi all,
for 2 years, sporadically, I’ve been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:
Rules
- Open Sourced
- Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
- Free as in Freedom
- Ad-free
- Installed and tested by me or by contributor
- Privacy-friendly aware
- Easy to use
- Still in development or polished experience
- Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
- Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
- Has dark theme
…tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.
I hope you will find it useful! 🤩
- Awesome list! Found some apps I’m interested in from the list, will definitely check them out. Thank you for compiling this! - No problem, that what it is for! Thanks for checking out :) 
 
- Just did a super quick glance, but are you really considering QKSMS maintained? - Unforutunately by having work, college, hobbies and many more I don’t have much time that’s why I look for people like you to point that out. :) That app was added long time ago. Sad to see being abandoned. 
 
- Feature request: Describe each app. At least what it does (beyond just the category) - There is a F-droid list of apps too. f-droid list 
- I tried to have this list as concise as possible. Probably it shouldn’t even scale vertically - better horizontally, preferably with responsive design. However, how would you like it implemented? Every so often, I add necessary comments: - Like this - See Trackers for example. - So in the end I just wanted to create a list that if someone is interested in some app, he can click links and read about this app in Source Code repo or F-Droid. Yet, I was thinking of maybe F-Droid information dynamically scrapped into static site with “approved” apps but idk. - Those comments in the tracker section are good, just a one line summary kind of thing for all of them would be a nice improvement. 
 I’m not asking for full F-Droid information (but if you want to include it, maybe put it in a tap-to-show sliding thing (sorry, I don’t do web dev) )- Yeah but sometimes it is hard but good idea. :) Me neither haha that’s why I do MarkDown - Github accepts the details HTML tag as part of Markdown. You could use that to put there a description and it would only be visible if you expand it. - Yeah, I know that, but maybe it’s my personal preference that I try to use pure MarkDown when HTML is unclean with a mix of it. You probably meant something like here: - <details open="open"> <summary>Table of Contents</summary> <ol> <li><a href="#installing">Installing</a></li> <li><a href="#shortcuts">Shortcuts</a></li> <li><a href="#features">Features</a></li> <li><a href="#dependencies">Dependencies</a></li> <li><a href="#usage">Usage</a></li> <li><a href="#building">Building</a></li> <li><a href="#translating">Translating</a></li> <li><a href="#supported-languages">Supported Languages</a></li> <li><a href="#license">License</a></li> </ol> </details>- Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. But I get that you want to avoid HTML if possible. 
 If you find a pure markdown alternative, let me know, I was looking at options a while back for a repo and settled on the HTML tag.- I was thinking about it but it generates many lines when MarkDown is simple. - There is no alternative as far I know due to MarkDown renderer. - Same for setting size for images or centering something.
