For your toddler, or for you! Customize your routine from a list of options, and enjoy the cute icons, fun sounds, and general dopamine of accomplishment.

I created this app for my daughter, who thrives on routine but was having a rough time getting to bed at night. It's not the most polished, but she loves it and maybe someone else will too!

I'm looking for an app to keep track of my kids chores and allowance. In a perfect world, I would like something everyone could have on their device, where I could assign dollar/point amounts to chores, the kids could check them off as they're done, and I could go back and deduct points/money if they weren't done properly. OurHome seemed like the perfect app for what I need, but no one except me was able to add it to their phone or accept my invites (even my wife, who has the same phone as me). I tried it a few times over the last year before giving up, even trying to email the developer. I've tried a few others since then, but they either didn't meet any criteria or they required a subscription. I'm all for paid apps, but I don't have the money in my budget currently to add a monthly expense (especially if I'm going to potentially boost my kids allowance).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am unable to choose between the 2. I need some advantage/disadvantage to make me decide one I love the Aegis UI but I hear that 2FAS is more secure. I would also like to know which of the 2 options is closer to FOSS "philosophy".

i've been trying to find an alternative to goodreads for a long time, and among the requirements were a nice interface, a complete database of books, a social component (friends, recommendations, voting reviews...) and a spanish language. the latter is not fulfilled in this case, but time will tell. i recently tried storygraph and although it's a good app in terms of functionality, there was something about the interface that didn't quite convince me. then by pure chance i discovered Hardcover, which has everything i'm looking for (except the language) and also allows you to import your goodreads library. if you like this kind of apps you should give it a try.

I often read collections of short stories. I know I can bookmark each chapter Ive read or read the stories in order. But is there any other way I can read stuff in am order of my choice amd have them marked as read since I like the percentage read mark on books.

So, I need text messages from my secondary phone -- either on my primary phone (both Android, both Samsung Galaxy) or on a web-based service.

The forwarding must be near-instant. I can wait a few seconds; maybe a minute, but not two. The setup must be reasonably secure and reliable.

I'm looking for a trustworthy app; willing to pay, but would prefer free trial to see it really works. I don't want to send all my message unecrypted through some server in someone's basement, but I'd consider a professionally run service. E2E is gold, but must be practical.

Paid is fine if it's low-cost

PDF editting is nice but not a necessity. Recommendations?

Currently just using OneDrive as a PDF viewer but there must be nicer ones too

What's that one app on your phone that is utterly invaluable to you specifically. Maybe it's got a super small use-case, but for you, and you alone it's absolutely invaluable.

I'll get us started...

Stitch Photos

It's a small all that allows me to stitch photos together. I usually use it to stitch screenshots together. It's got a nice interface and is absolutely fantastic at the one thing I need it to do.

What about you?

I'm wanting to do some light coding on my phone. I want no ads, monospace font, prefer FOSS. Syntax highlighting would be nice, but not required. Should handle files of decent length, 200+ lines.

Pretty much anything on F-Droid is for older versions of Android, play store apps all seem to have ads or onine editing.

Really as similar as possible but I guess the must haves for me are:

  • Dark theme
  • Swipe to type ability (I usually tap but definitely want swiping as well)
  • Searchable emoji's
  • Word suggestions

Nice to have:

  • Text editing tools for moving cursor just one character at a time through button presses
  • Clipboard button
  • Copied text automatically becomes next suggested word the first time the keyboard is invoked after copying the text
  • Suggested next word.

I want to install native alpha plus but cannot purchase it as I don't have Google play services, and cannot build it from source as I don't have access to a computer. If this is not possible, could somebody please help me out and PM me a link to a compiled APK.

There are certain apps that I want up to date always. Is there an app store client, or an app that automates this? play store only allows enabling auto updating for all apps.

Just wondering if anyone else has learned the Thumb-key keyboard well and could share their typing speed?

I have been using the TypeSplit layout for a few weeks now and get over 50-55 wpm with it consistently. I'm still learning it though so I'm expecting to see over 60 wpm soon.

Seems like a great idea. I'll definitely purchase if it I like it

This is another wonderful piece of software from FOSS advocate FUTO.

Aside from another method to bypass YT ads, you can watch your favorite creators on a wide variety of platforms, all in a single app. No complicated configuration required like ReVanced. You can export your subscriptions list from Google via Google Takeout, or from FreeTube/LibreTube/New pipe etc. and when you open the file it should automatically open in GrayJay.

You can also perform cross-platform searches.

PeerTube does work but it uses the FUTO instance, which does not federate, so you can only watch/search FUTO videos. Some work is still needed in that area, but it's probably also the least popular platform sooo...

This is a paid app based on the honor system and currently only supports Stripe for payments. It's a 1-time $10 fee.

Futo also makes a casting app called FCast so you can cast videos from this app to your Android TV box after installation.

Scrobbles from apps of your choice (including microphone scrobbling!) and allows you to browse your history. Works really well! For those like me getting back into scrobbling. Definitely worth a purchase

The Bromite project has been inactive for the last 9 months or so. Today I found this fork of Bromite that's well maintained and seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps others who were looking for a replacement.

I'm looking for a google maps replacement as part of my de google process. One of my cars however uses android auto so I'm stuck there. Is there even an alternative that is open source, has traffic data and works in android auto?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to speed up the MS Rewards daily Bing searches.

On desktop, I have a folder of Bing searches in my bookmarks, and I can choose "open all in tabs" to load them all at once.

Does anyone know of an Android browser that offers that feature? None of them that I've tried so far (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Samsung browser) can open multiple bookmarks at the same time.

It's hard to trawl through the app store. Are there any apps or games you'd recommend?
