Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use 😃

Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps

Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store^[1]^
Termius -> ConnectBot^[2]^
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge^[3]^
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail
YouTube -> LibreTube
Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News^[4]^
Google Drive -> Nextcloud^[4]^
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes^[4]^
Spotify -> SubTune^[4]^

^1^- You need a Google account.
^2^ - The UX is not as good as Termius.
^3^ - The UI looks like garbage, but does it's job.
^4^ - You need to selfhost a server.

On Android, I use OSMAnd if I want to use a map and the openstreetmap.org web app if just quickly checking a distance, because OSMand can be quite bulky and my phone quite slow. For public transportation (in Germany) I have Öffi.
