What types of apps are you missing from the FOSS ecosystem?

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think PlugBrain is what I was looking for but will take a look. I am not so much looking to reduce screen time as just make sure that IF I am on it for some time that my eyes get various types of breaks every so often. And setting the 20min alarm is not practical as don’t necessarily know when I pick up the phone if it will be just a 1min email reply or whether it will need research etc which will take me into the extended screen time zone.

So ideally an auto timer that records how long screen has been on continuously and then offers various eye exercises/breaks at the relevant time just like the Windows app I mentioned does.

Ghost commander does not load files in real time. Ghost Commander need to scan all the files first, which are not convenient at all.

An APK verification app to ensure the signing key is correct.

App Manager should help you with this.

You can try the KeePassDX app and explore its features. It’s available on F-Droid and it’s a great application.

Missing from the F-Droid ecosystem: Beauty Camera.
Perhaps you could fork Fossify Camera Beta | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository to integrate GPUPixel

GPUPixel is a high-performance, cross-platform real-time image and video filter library with a small footprint. Built with C++11 and OpenGL/ES, it provides beauty filters and supports iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux—compatible with any OpenGL/ES platform.

  • The camera records videos with the beauty filter applied in real time, eliminating the need for post-processing.

GPUPixel is a perfect alternative to the privacy-invading beauty camera apps listed below.

These apps collect users’ facial data.

B612
YouCam Perfect
Wuta Camera
Wink: Video Enhancer

Almost a billion people worldwide use beauty camera apps, with 500 million users in China alone.

These beauty camera apps are all collecting people’s facial data.

I thought a functional word processor important, but I stand corrected.

Of course, there’s still a bunch of other applications that are not present, like a fully unlocked Pixel Studio FOSS application, without the unnecessary monetization .

Found this gem on Google Play, and it has no connection with Google Play Services whatsoever, yet…Why isn’t it on an F-Droid repository?

Ask the developer to put it on F-Droid. Raise a RFP/Onboarding. Check docs.

Is there a RAR file extractor?
I know I can use the unrar command in termux but it’s not practical for the average user.

Afaik, just this works: ZipXtract - IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

rar has no FLOSS lib to archive and unarchive :frowning:

I’ve found out that Material files, which is on F-Droid, can extract rar files.
How can it do that if RAR has no FLOSS libs?

and you tested a RAR file ? fyi Remove junrar from F-Droid build · Issue #699 · zhanghai/MaterialFiles · GitHub

Yes, I did

rriiiight, forgot about libarchive: Use libarchive · Issue #735 · zhanghai/MaterialFiles · GitHub

What about Picocrypt-NG/android at main · Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG · GitHub ?

@Licaon_Kter i don’t know why this had been moved, but what do you think about listing Picocrypt?

Add your voice to Picocrypt for Android? · Issue #9 · Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG · GitHub ?
