What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for? (lemmy.world)

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

OSMAND, since they started tracking users a while ago on the f-droid version.

Is OrganicMaps not a good alternative to OSMAND?

As far as I understand the app menue, tracking is an opt in.

Not happy with OrganicMaps? It's my personal favourite at least, and completely open source. Probably depends what your needs are. :)

Just don't check the box?

Organic maps is quite nice.

What and why is Osmand tracking us. Are they actually selling that data. I had completely missed that. Weirdly didn't get and email...
