Let’s build a useful collection of must-have F-Droid apps!
WG Tunnel is a really useful wireguard client I’ve been using for a while.
I use it to automatically enable a wireguard tunnel to my home network as soon as i leave my home WiFi. And I can assign different wireguard configs to different wifi networks when im out and about where the default wireguard config might be blocked, and it will switch between them automatically.
It has loads of other useful features too.

Maybe don’t stick your nose where it isn’t asked, you’re not a mod here.
Nor are you, but I am an admin here.
The apps from Fossify, Aves gallery (it’s even better and prettier than your phone’s gallery app), Session, Tubular, Baby name, Wallabag, Smart Dock and Floating Stickies.
HeliBoard, don’t want google to get everything I type on their keyboard. KeePassDX - offline password manager
accrescent is a great appstore with limited apps, my favourite is beautyxt and DNSnet, give it a try!
Note that, although (AFAIK) the Accrescent client is free software, it’s hardcoded to only support their own store which last I checked had no guarantee that it only offers free software. Its marketing seemed to rely a lot on spreading FUD about F-Droid even though it fundamentally serves a different purpose than F-Droid.
Thank you for adding important context.
rquickshare This is not an app for the phone because it uses the app you already have by default (nearby share/quick share), it enables you to use it with your Mac or Linux computer on the same lan so you can share your clipboard and files. I like it a lot.
Tabs Lite let’s you search for songs, fetches lyrics and tabs, chords from the web and stores them offline on your device. You can organize all the songs in playlists as well.
Also not found searching the in f-droid store app.
Ah, it’s on IzzyOnDroid repo. I’m using Neo Store.
Neo store is empty after installing and syncing repositories. Why would an app not be on f-droid but appear on an f-droid client app? Seems like an unnecessary extra layer.
You can add extra repository
Hum I get a 404 page not found and f droid can’t find it as well.
KDE Connect! Share files, clipboard, links from one device to another, use your phone as a mouse or laser pointer.
When you use the KDE Desktop Environment it will also show notifications from your phone and sync media controls (e.g. stop playback when you get a phone call). It’s great!
Now if the remote mouse control could show a 128x128 area of the screen under the mouse pointer on the phone…Sure I could get my ass up and read what the video title is then but… No.
Metro - A Music Player For Android
Very, very nice music app for those with a local library.
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker
url checker works as your mobiles default browser to easily edit links before opening them in a browser of your choice, I love this thing, I have given up trying to tell people about url hygene
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dnsfilter.android/ personalDNSfilter. DNS proxy filter. You can use your favorite block lists to block ads and trackers in a browser but also in most any other app. You can add your own rules and it doesn’t need root.
Loop Habit Tracker - simply tracking habits.
FindMyDevice. Alternative to Google’s find my device. You send a text from a different phone number, and you can do things like get the GPS location, lock the device, erase the device, ring the device, or have the device take a picture of its location.
Yikes
I agree. Ability for a third party / uncontrolled phone text to wipe my phone? No thanks
It’s a whitelist. Only phone numbers you explicitly allow can do that. Alternatively, you can choose to enable a pin that must be given in order to execute commands.
Red Moon. Blue light filter for screen. Makes it less hurting for eyes to use phone at night, or generally in dark.
I use this for it’s ability to simulate brightness levels lower than what the system will allow normally.
Oooh I bet this will work for viewing my salt water aquarium at night so I can see the nocturnal critters and corals at work!
Or maybe I just got a little too excited because this is for the output light filter and not the camera/input.
It is for output / screen. But I like your enthusiasm about using open source for salt water aquarium 😉
ArwwWwoOoOoo
Awoo is not a crime!
Awwwoooooooo!
[Meta] does anyone with blorp know how to control-F the comments?
Blorp dev here. Comment are virtualized. That means anything that isn’t currently in view can get unmounted to keep the comments page super snappy. For small posts, this is definitely overkill, but it means we can smoothly render posts with thousands of comments.
I’ve kinda been waiting for someone to complain about this for me to fix it. What I’ll likely do is implement a custom search box that is compatible with the virtualized comments. I have a lot on my plate rn, but I’ll get this fixed as soon as I have time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
