  • Little File Explorer – Simple. Android 1.0+. 40KB apk.

  • Music Player Lite – Fast and simple. Sleep timer. Dark/Light themes. Shuffle and queue.

  • Endless Sky – cool space sandbox trading & exploration game.

  • Greentooth – Automatic Bluetooth disabler.

  • Tachiyomi – Manga Reader.

  • Lemuroid – All in One emulator. Not the best UI. Simple, yet quite powerful.

  • Librera Reader – Book & PDF reader.

  • Quillpad – Markdown notes, task lists, Nextcloud sync and more.

  • KeePassDX – Secure and open source password manager.

Thank you for putting descriptions

There's a really good third-party Photoprism app on F Droid. So much nicer than using the web app.

Simple Gallery and Simple Filebrowser are awesome! Also KDE Connect, Davx, Catima and Etar, my favourite calendar app!

I like Termux (terminal emulator) and Xeonjia (fun little game)

I wouldn't want my boss to know how much time I'm spending using Feudal Tactics.

I haven't explored the other options too much yet but 90% of the time, my pad is running Librera FD https://f-droid.org/packages/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/ which I think you have to pay money for at the Google store. It's a great document reader and I really like the musician mode.

I haven't been on fdroid in years but I and mostly my kid used use play this silly matching game called Doda the Explodad or something, themed after Doria the explorer

Insular and IceRaven to name a few.

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

What was your decision process in choosing insular above shelter?

How seamless is freezing and unfreezing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I chose it after someone recommended it to me to run banking apps while rooted. Has worked fine for all my payment and banking apps so far. Haven't tried freezing and unfreezing as they work without doing these steps.
