[LIST] Recommended FOSS Applications

Having investigated a bit more about this, it seems Simple Calendar can use both the system calendars (including both local / device calendars and remote CalDAV calendars synched with DAVx5 or other sync tools) and it’s own app-specific calendars which are not visible to other calendar apps

Hello, Do you know if there is an open source app able tu communicate with whatsapp users ?
I am not sure whether this is possible as it looks like that whatsapp protocol is closed.

Grabbed it, although I have to say I installed Aves Libre in the mean time and I like it, too. It’s good to have options, isn’t it.

Can’t find it, a search for ‘fossify’ only returns the gallery.

On Droid-ify app or IzzyOnDroid repo :wink:

And now, Fossify File Manager to replace File Manager frome SimpleMobileTools : https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/?author=Fossify

Can anyone recommend a synthesizer app for creating sounds?

I think OpenLauncher should be removed from the list. It has been discontinued and is considered “dated” by the former maintainer. (See https://github.com/OpenLauncherTeam/openlauncher)

But it still works, is still a good Launcher, and there is not good reason not to use or recommend it. By all means add a comment that it is no longer being actively developed, but don’t remove it from the lis

This is exactly the deliberation I had over suggesting Lawnchair which I use on all /e/OS devices, which I love & have no usability / stability problems with. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah/

I disagree in my opinion unmaintained and abandoned software should not be recommended. Such software is kind of a security risk…

Anyways, I am fine with a note that points out it is not maintained anymore.

Was it ever secure before? How would it not be secure today? :thinking:

Not serious. j/k. Couldn’t resist. :smirk::grimacing::confused:
