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.

🏔️ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! 🤩

Awesome list. Have you found any app for recording calls? (I live in Hungary and receive calls in Hungarian sometimes and would like to record them to translate and understand what the call was about.)

Also, I don't see anything for audiobooks. I use Smart Audiobooks, but was wondering if there are more open source options.

I use Voice by Paul Woitaschek (available on F-Droid). It has a nice, simple interface and a few really useful features. I've gone through dozens of audiobooks in various formats with it and haven't had any problems yet.

Yeah, it looks superb. However, I have only one issue with it. Why is it so big - almost 80 MB?

Thank you!

I see... quick search and I found this beauty, try it out, I haven't yet, but keep in my first sentence of it:

MOST PHONES DOES NOT SUPPORT CALL RECORDING. Blame Google or your phone manufacturer not me!

I've seen many stars coming in to this Voice Audiobook Player repository.
