  • Aegis Authenticator, IMO the best TOTP app out there.
  • mpv-android to play almost any kind of multimedia files.
  • Organic Maps for an OpenStreetMaps-based navigation, and doesn't require an Internet connection to operate.
  • StreetComplete to fill missing OpenStreetMaps info you encounter, in an almost fun manner.
  • Syncthing-Fork for a Syncthing client with some good mobile-specific tweaks.
  • Termux to emulate and run a bunch of console-based softwares (like youtube-dl, etc).
  • AirGuard to detect if you're being tracked by an Apple AirTag without your knowledge.

Yes, Aegis is the best TOTP app. I recently switched from Authy to Aegis and it is pretty good.

Haven't tried it yet myself, but I've heard that Organic Maps is much smoother and faster alternative to OsmAnd~.

Fair Mail works way better for me than K9

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 years ago

I find FairMail better suited for my needs, too, but both are great e-mail clients with extensible customizability. It is up to your preferences, I suppose.

I would love to use Lemmur, but I've been unable to add the lemmy.ca instance to it. It just says "Instance not found"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're better off switching to Jerboa, that's what I did. Lemmur is no longer in development.

Just recently found Barista. Its an alternative instagram client that lets you browse privately and does not expose you to their stupid algorithm. Also Infinity to go on Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

It's called Barinsta in case anybody is looking for it:

Development has stopped, not working anymore because of expected Meta lock-in.
