  • Some of them are not underrated, but I'd just share my favorites...

    • AntennaPod for podcasts.
    • Aurora Store if you need some Google apps to be updated.
    • Binary Eye is a nice and slim qr code scanner and generator.
    • CriticalMaps is a good tool if you're into critical mass events.
    • GadgetBridge can be a companion app for your smartwatch (if you have the right one).
    • GPS logger just logs your position in an interval you can set. I use it to track my movement in 30min bits.
    • GymRoutines is a privacy friendly gym exercise app with a database of your progress.
    • K9 mail (soon to be rebranded as Thunderbird mobile) is a powerful mail app.
    • KeePassDX is an android password manager compatible with keepass files.
    • LibreTorrent is a nice way to torrent your favorite linux distros while on the go.
    • Location Map Viewer I use with the gpx files I get from GPS logger to visualize my movements.
    • mpv just plays a lot of media without being a bloated thing like vlc. I use mpv for videos, vlc for music.
    • NewPipeSponsorblock is available in a custom repo only.
    • Ning is a nice way to get an overview over a local network.
    • OpenTracks can be used in combination with GadgetBridge to record your sports with gps.
    • OSMand gives you a frontend for using openstreetmap with offline maps, navigation and more.
    • PDF Doc Scan is my way to digitalize important letters as a pdf on the go.
    • StreetComplete is a gamificated way to fill in missing things in openstreetmap. it's fun.
    • Syncthing-Fork (important to use the fork) is a file sync tool I use to backup a lot of my phones folders to a pc.
    • Tusky is my favorite way to browse mastodon.
    • VLC is a powerful media player (I then use only to shuffle through my mp3s).
  • You can even tunnel your hardware directly to the VM, e.g. graphics card and have like a 2% loss on the virtualization side. Not much of a deal, if you know what you're doing. Bonus: You can restrict the VMs network, do external backups etc.

  • Steps, sleep, stress, workouts work quite nice. PAI is supposed to have a tab within the next few releases of gadgetbrigde iirc. My approach is more like... I use gb to collect the data from the watch and then use grafana for a visualisation. which might be overkill.

  • I only use devices supported by gadgetbridge. This way I can track me without giving all the data to somebody else. Currently I use a Mi Band 7, but I'm thinking about getting a device with onboeard GPS.

  • uberspace might be what you are looking for. you get a fully maintained mail setup, 10GB of storage, a dozen preconfigured services, a nice wiki and a very cool team of nerds. starts at 5€/month and you can buy your own domain elsewhere (i use inwx).
