Hello everyone!
Recently, I saw so many posts about this and I started to think about degoogling (degoogleing?) my life.
I’ve started with fdroid and found some nice apps in there and I’m curious to know some alternatives I may or may not know
- Youtube: Currently, I use ReVanced and even though is just the default app with something in it, I want an alternative with background listening, import my subscriptions w/ notifications and if possible with sponsorblock
- Mail: Using a combo or Gmail + proton. I started to use proton recently and I want to move everything there when I have time. Suggestions here?
- Cloud storage: Self hosted/proton? Alternatives
- Gallery app: Stock
- Video player: Stock
- Music player: Stock
- 2FA app: I have Authy and I tried to install aegis. I also have Ente but I’ve never used both
- Mail app: Using K9 and the app is awesome compared to google or Samsung Mail
- Password Manager: Bitwarden
- Weather app: Currently, using Breezy weather
If possible, apps with a nice looking UI, modern with/without Material You
I’m using a Samsung S23 and I would like to know how bad it is to change ROM with something better and if it’s really worth Pixel + GrapheneOS. Thanks
Edit: I forgot the most important one with probably no alternatives (?) Thanks to @JustMarkov@lemmy.ml (idk how to mention)
- Samsung pay
YouTube: Grayjay
Mail: Riseup, Disroot or Posteo
Cloud storage: If you only want to backup photos, videos and the like, self hosted Immich, PhotoPrism or Ente is good. Online Ente otherwise.
Gallery app: Fossify Gallery
Video player: NextPlayer or VLC
Music player: InnerTune (also supports YTMusic and downloads)
2FA app: Aegis
Mail app: K-9 Mail
Password manager: Bitwarden or self hosted Vaultwarden
Payment app: GNU Taler (EU only)
Noooo is a demo app :( I guess there’s no alternative someone can trust/free and open source for that
What’s a demo app? GNU Taler? Yeah, I said in the future. The preparation phase for the digital euro just started. If GNU Taler gets selected, you can start using it after 2025-2027
I know and 2025/2027 is a lot! I was hoping for something to use now but it’s okay, thanks anyway
I mean, you can use XMR if you want the most private and anonymous way to pay ig?
I meant with my cards, apps like Samsung Wallet or Google Wallet, not crypto currency
Got it.
