Let’s build a useful collection of must-have F-Droid apps!
Metro - A Music Player For Android
Very, very nice music app for those with a local library.
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker
url checker works as your mobiles default browser to easily edit links before opening them in a browser of your choice, I love this thing, I have given up trying to tell people about url hygene
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dnsfilter.android/ personalDNSfilter. DNS proxy filter. You can use your favorite block lists to block ads and trackers in a browser but also in most any other app. You can add your own rules and it doesn’t need root.
Red Moon. Blue light filter for screen. Makes it less hurting for eyes to use phone at night, or generally in dark.
https://codeberg.org/svewa/MedicalCalendarLog
I use this every day to keep track of my medication, remind me of stuff I want to do regularly (measure weight, take specific meds but also chores). Disclaimer: I’m the author, could not find anything alike.
FindMyDevice. Alternative to Google’s find my device. You send a text from a different phone number, and you can do things like get the GPS location, lock the device, erase the device, ring the device, or have the device take a picture of its location.
Yikes
I agree. Ability for a third party / uncontrolled phone text to wipe my phone? No thanks
CoMaps. Google Maps alternative. Can save paths and do navigation with TTS. Gets its data from the amazing OpenStreetMap.
Why use this app instead of OsmAnd?
For me, I have both of them.
co-maps I use when I need to add a place to open street map, and OSMAND I use for features that co-maps doesn’t have.
Basically, co-maps is easier to use for things that it can do and OSMAND is harder to use but can do more things/different things.
Mindustry: one of the few great games on f-droid (tower defense)
Mindustry is a great FOSS game, period. There’s also Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
And pirate solitaire
I use davx5 to sync my caldav calendar (radicale) with my Android.
This helps with Apple Calendar too so you can share with Google Calendar or some other
yeah, this one is less known and most useful
osmand~ – frontend to openstreetmap with included pathfinder.
[Meta] does anyone with blorp know how to control-F the comments?
URLCheck Share a URL to this app to preview it before opening, sharing or copying. It also has multiple neat features, like
- removing trackers
- quickly removing URL parts and extracting encoded text e.g. to skip redirection
- custom rewrites; can be applied automatically
I second this, one of my most used apps
That’s one of the first app I install after installing F droid every time I format my device

Damn I skimmed through the whole thread but missed it. Will delete my comment.
Don’t delete, it’s just more evidence for support of an option…
Droid-ify Way better F-Droid Client with many Repos Out of the box
Neostore is great too
Yikes
Or, if one wants to go the minimalist, smallest threat footprint way, one can go in the other direction and use F-Droid Classic. Think a debloated F-Droid, made by the F-Droid folks.
Markor - A markdown/text editor app. It is frankly not the best in terms of design, but it does have quite a few neat features.
