      I’ve seen Bitwarden show up in this thread a few times. I’ve been a longtime user of KeePassX. Is there any particular reason I should consider switching?

        What made me choose bitwarden is the emergency access feature.

        It allows to designate someone as an emergency contact. This person can request access to your vault and if you don’t deny the request then they will have access after x days.

        This way, if something happens to me then someone in my close family can still access my account.

        I got the case recently with my brother in law who got into an accident and thanks God his laptop was not locked so my sister could access his accounts.

        Because if not it can be a nightmare ! Having to deal with all the utilities company, harassing you because you did not pay the bill that arrived on a locked email account, then not being able to pay the bill anyways because you have to connect on they website … on top of getting your husband and the father of your child in the hospital in a coma.

    • LineageOS: my Android ROM of choice

    • LineageOS for MicroG: the ROM on my second phone where I quarantine my use of apps that refuse to work without Google services (mostly stuff I need for business travel e.g. Amtrak, Google Maps)

    • Aurora Store: allows installation of most Play Store apps without login. I mainly use this on the MicroG phone, but it’s also needed to get the ProtonMail and ProtonCalendar apps (only ProtonVPN is on F-Droid)

    • TrackerControl: allows fine tuned domain blocking on a per-app basis. Often allows you to block just ads and trackers but still be able to use an app or at least many of its features.

    • Arcticons: monochrome line art icons (because I hate fun and want my GUIs to look like a terminal)

    • AsteroidOS Sync: WearOS replacement. AsteroidOS still has a long way to go, but I doubt WearOS would play nicely with LineageOS and I don’t want all the tracking anyway.

    • Bubble: bubble level by woheller69 (a true F-Droid GOAT)

    • FlorisBoard: afaik, only FOSS gesture typing Android keyboard (besides AnySoft, which doesn’t seem to work consistently)

    • GMaps WV: fairly locked-down web viewer for Google Maps (sadly OSM just doesn’t have a usably complete business directory where I live)

    • Lawnchair: launcher with all the features I want except being up to date on F-Droid

    • Librera: the PDF reader on F-Droid that I hate the least. (Anyone got any better recommendations?)

    • NewPipe: ad-free Youtube player with locally stored subscriptions and playlists. An IzzyOnDroid fork with SponsorBlock is also available.

    • QKSMS: my SMS app of choice

    • Signal: because I can’t convince my friends to switch to Briar

    • SpoTube: pirate ad-free Spotify that works by looking up tracks on Youtube. Is therefore limited by what’s available on YT and sometimes plays wrong tracks, but you can’t beat the price :] Even interfaces with a Spotify account to play and edit playlists.

    • Standard Notes: E2E encrypted cloud-synced notes. Also accessible by web browser, which has saved my ass a few times while phoneless

    • Weather: by BeoCode on F-Droid

    • VLC: everyone’s favorite traffic cone boi

    KDE Connect means that I can ping my phone that’s usually presumably somewhere behind my bed or on a counter somewhere, without having to sheepishly walk to the nearest person and ask “can you call my phone I lost it :c”

      Thanks for recommending Libretube. I just switched to GrapheneOS and was looking for a FOSS revanced replacement without the need for Play Services or MicroG. Libretube is absolutely perfect.

      Isn’t andOTP basically dead? The app is unmaintained at this point and last update was 2 years ago.

      I think something like Aegis Authenticator is a better option nowadays.

      Love all of these, but really happy to see Sumatra PDF because that thing is just incredible and is a day 1 install on a fresh OS.
