CoMaps. Google Maps alternative. Can save paths and do navigation with TTS. Gets its data from the amazing OpenStreetMap.

OSM and magic earth ?

What's the difference between this and Organic Maps?

[–] olenkoVD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 minutes ago

I think it's a fork that was made after some recent community drama. Probably the two apps should be pretty similar, although CoMaps is updated more frequently I think.

rquickshare This is not an app for the phone because it uses the app you already have by default (nearby share/quick share), it enables you to use it with your Mac or Linux computer on the same lan so you can share your clipboard and files. I like it a lot.

accrescent is a great appstore with limited apps, my favourite is beautyxt and DNSnet, give it a try!

[–] beyond@linkage.ds8.zone 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Note that, although (AFAIK) the Accrescent client is free software, it's hardcoded to only support their own store which last I checked had no guarantee that it only offers free software. Its marketing seemed to rely a lot on spreading FUD about F-Droid even though it fundamentally serves a different purpose than F-Droid.

Thank you for adding important context.

Tabs Lite let's you search for songs, fetches lyrics and tabs, chords from the web and stores them offline on your device. You can organize all the songs in playlists as well.
Edit: It's in IzzyOnDroid repository

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.
