Free and Open Source Software
If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

This is great. Thanks for sharing it!
I doubt this is niche to most of us in this community, but it's possible very few of us consider using a terminal on our mobile devices. I highly recommend Termux (Github, F-Droid). It's really handy if you need to self-host a web-app for times you have no wifi or data connection. You can play interactive fiction on it. You can also do your writing in it. If you rely on swipe typing or auto-complete, you can just swipe left and get an input field that works with those.
To pair with my first suggestion, I also like to put forth Unexpected Keyboard (Github, F-Droid). For the times when I need to write some code on my phone, having quick access to certain symbols without having to tap a specific button, and maybe having to tap it again, is really nice. The "swipe to corner" feature takes some getting used, but for me, it's been way faster and makes writing code on my phone bearable!
Hi, can you suggest me a call blocker? Because Yet another call blocker isn't working anymore on my device. Thanks!
I am not aware of any call blocker. Sorry!
Silence! (The app name, not you.)
Jerboa hehe.
The one niche software I have used was Meshroom. A free alternative to software that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, to take input images, use similarities between images to place them in a 3d space, and output a 3D model.
WebODM, OpenMVG and COLMAP are also open source with similar functions, but Meshroom is an easy-to-use one-stop shop for beginners to enthusiasts.
+1 for:
- Syncthing
- Loop Habit Tracker
- Markor - note-taking app
- OsmAnd+ - open street map client
Organic Maps is my go to for navigation! It even works completely offline and utilizes OpenStreetMap.
FitoTrack: a great running/workout tracking app. It works incredibly well.
The ones that come to my mind:
Syncthing, because I'm tired of losing data by damaged hardware.
Open in whatsapp, because that damn app is really popular in Brazil, and I don't want to add random strangers to my contacts list.
Cache cleaner, because my phone is quite limited on storage for modern usage, and I have to urgently free some space here and there.
DroidFS, to securely store my documents and avoid someone using them in case I get robbed.
