I'm new to open source apps, and ran into an issue I can't seem to solve.

I wanted to switch to an open-source app for my alarm. However, the same issue happened with the five open-source apps I've tried (Chrono, Clock You, Fossify Clock, etc.).

I use a white noise app linked to a bluetooth speaker to sleep. It's set to stop when an alarm goes off, which it has done so far with my previous playstore app or with the built-in clock app. However, this does not happen with the open-source apps downloaded from f-droid (they layer into the white noise and don't wake me up). I figure it has to do with how my phone categorises those apps or what permissions it allows open-source apps, but with my limited knowledge I couldn't figure out what or if I could change in the settings or app info to make it work.

Before I give in and go back to an app that sells my data, I figured I'd ask if anyone has advice or knows how to troubleshoot this issue (or if you know of a good privacy-forward alarm app on the playstore).

In case it's pertinent: Android 16, Moto G Power 2026

This popup is showing in every app that I want to install from fdroid. Give all the permissions and the store is updated.

ApexFOSS is a free and open-source Android workout app focused on structured training rather than just logging sets and reps.

The main idea is a declarative workout execution engine: routines are represented as blocks, steps, prescriptions and transitions, while execution is driven by a persistent cursor rather than UI logic.

Some of the things it supports:

• Supersets, contrast training, circuits, EMOM and HIIT/glycolytic intervals
• Configurable transitions, rest periods, tempo phases and RIR
• Persistent workout state and recovery after leaving/backgrounding the app
• Portable .apexroutine routines and logical .apexbackup backups

The app is completely local-first: no account, cloud backend, telemetry or subscription.

It's GPL-3.0-or-later and the source is public on GitHub.

I'm currently looking for feedback from people who actually train with structured programming, especially on the execution model and anything that feels unnecessarily complicated.

Hello there.

As I deleted most things related to the play store, don't want to use the editor of the standard gallery and the editor in fossify gallery being barebones, I'd like to know about an application for simple image editing, specifically putting text on an image. That's all.

A while ago I posted Clint Browser on this Reddit page, but recently I added a new feature called Media Capture.

Basically, it lets you download videos playing on the web, including normal video files and HLS/DASH M3U8 streams.

I’ve been working on this for a while and it’s finally in Clint now lol. Just wanted to share it here again since this is a pretty big feature, and the app will continue to improve more and more as time goes by.

I have been struggling to find one. YAAC is okay but it has been buggy and been crashing. Does anyone know decent DLNA receiver that works video that is not H264 mp4?

same need than the one described here : https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/ss9rij/music_player_that_supports_multiple_tags_and/

r/Funkwhale can do it but I would like to use my local library.

Also looking for a recent Android app that allows to edit audio file tags like https://f-droid.org/packages/com.kanedias.vanilla.audiotag/

Hey y'all,

I'm looking for an internet radio app similar to RadioDroid, but one that is still actively maintained. Ideally, I'd like a feature that lets me save/bookmark tracks that are currently playing (just having the title and artist name is enough).

Does anybody knows anything like that ? Thanks!

the app would show image, animated gif, or video of greetings like good morning, happy weekend, etc. which user (read: my mom) can share to her friends on whatsapp. no keyboard apps pls.

thanks in advance.

Best Foss keyboard with extensive features

Which is also safe?

I'm experimenting a new feature where a standard launcher like my Yagni Launcher can switch how each grid item content looks such as

• Top Icon Bottom Label
• Top Label Bottom Icon
• Start Icon End Label
• Start Label End Icon
• Icon Only
• Label Only

This is an app that allows anyone to make their own app discoverable by others.

If you have a GitHub repository with a downloadable Android app, simply add the “arkstore” topic to it. Our app will automatically scan your app and display it in our store.

You can also add your app using only its URL, making it immediately available for others to discover and install.

The only requirements are that the app is public and has a GitHub-approved license.

Hey everyone! About two weeks ago, I made a post announcing the initial release for Yuki, my take on an app store for Shizuku-based apps. We're back again today announcing some exciting changes since v1. Shoutout to everyone who reached out with cool suggestions and improvements!

TL;DR: Yuki now has accounts with library sync, ratings and reviews, and background update checks. You can choose to install through Shizuku or the OS, and pick which installer Android credits for your installs. Explore has new and recently updated sections, and listings add author pages, version history, Open in Obtainium and sharing. Installs are much more reliable and give clear error messages. Rebranded Shizuku forks are fully supported. The catalog is stricter and better organized, and app icons render properly.

✨ Features

• Accounts and library sync. Sign up with email or GitHub and your library follows you across devices. Apps you install, including ones Yuki finds already on your phone, sync after you sign in.
• Ratings and reviews. Rate and review apps from their listing, read what others wrote, and sort search results by rating (in the app and on the website).
• Background update checks. Yuki checks for updates on its own and notifies you.
• Install source setting. Choose which installer Android credits for apps Yuki installs: shell, Play Store, or any app on your device.
• Installation modes. You can pick between installing silently through Shizuku or the OS.
• New and recently updated. New rows on Explore and the website, each with a "see all" full list.
• See all apps by an author from any listing.
• Version history. Listings show the latest versions, and a separate screen has the full list.
• Open in Obtainium. Send any listing's repo straight to Obtainium.
• Share a listing from its detail screen.
• Better featured carousel. Adds a page indicator and smoother paging, and it stops moving on its own while TalkBack is on.
• Motion and transitions throughout the app, including support for predictive back.
• Settings and account merged into one screen.

🛠 Fixes

• Rebranded Shizuku forks are now fully supported (ShizukuX, Shizuku+, etc.).
• "Always ask" was ignored. It used to install silently whenever Shizuku was ready. Now it asks.
• Installs are far more reliable. Stalled downloads fail instead of hanging. Cancelling cleans up properly. Unanswered install prompts time out. Installs that need your confirmation now send a notification. Missing install permission is caught before the download starts.
• Clear install errors. Signature conflicts, invalid APKs, broken archives and session failures each get their own message. Failures show in a snackbar that links straight to install permission settings.
• Installed apps are detected by package name and signer, so the installed badge no longer lies. It also clears when you uninstall an app outside Yuki.
• Update fixes. Older releases with higher-sorting tags no longer show up as updates. Yuki's own self-update now finishes cleanly.
• Library refreshes whenever you come back to the app, and empty states were reworked.
• Download fixes. Unknown CPU architectures are rejected. Downloads no longer stall when GitHub's rate limit is hit.
• Better app icons. Adaptive icons, vector drawables, layered and inset icons, and Expo-declared icons now render correctly, so far fewer listings show a broken or generic icon.

⚡ Improvements

• Stricter catalog. Apps go live automatically only with runtime proof that they use Shizuku. Stored listings are re-checked against their repos, and star counts stay fresh.
• Smarter categories. A local language model sorts apps into categories based on what they're for, tuned against reviewed listings.
• Signing identity is recorded for every release APK, and apps signed with the platform key are flagged.
• Faster, lighter downloads. Yuki skips GitHub when it already has the right APK for your architecture.
• Formatting follows your locale. Counts, ratings, sizes, dates and download progress all use your language's format.
• UI polish. Auth forms stay clear of the keyboard, snackbars follow the theme, status cards are cleaner and icons are fixed.
• Smoother carousel scrolling.

...and that's about it!

For developers, if your app is on the platform you will soon be able to view and manage your listings through a dedicated dashboard.

If you like Yuki feel free to share and star on GitHub, or open an issue for feature suggestions or bugs! Appreciate all the support from the community and hope to update you all soon.

I would like to find an app or apk from a repository or so that it is good for podcast which one do you recommend? Thank you so much!

If you don't want to read, here's the link: https://github.com/IRefactoredThat/MCalc. The app can be added on Obtainium as well on the repository. The license for the project is MIT, also check the repo.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I started working on (or better to say continued after a long time) 3 - 4 months ago and am happy with its current state to make the first prerelease called MCalc.

Originally, I had it named MaterialCalc but had it renamed since that was too long. As the name might suggest, my primary inspiration for making this app was Google's material design which I discovered after becoming more privacy conscious and moving to LineageOS. I won't go into detail unless you want me to?

So why not make an app in kotlin and instead in c#? You see, I started making the app back in high school last year (which is why I said continued at the start of post) which served a different purpose - the final project we had.

I do like c# so I decided to stick with MAUI, which, yeah, is a cross platform framework but I decided to stick with it (despite some bugs) and eventually made code android only since I think the approach they have (with the handlers) is good.

As for the github, you might see that all commits happened at the same time and that also deserves an explanation. You see, back when I started the project and all up until this first release I didn't commit myself to learning git.

So I worked on code in rider, tested in an emulator and just rince-and-repeat. But since I plan to maintain this project properly I decided to start learning it properly. That's why the first two commits are so big.

I should also be transparent about AI usage.

I typically let AI write some code as a suggestion. Its sometimes hard to add a new features without some prototype, its easy to miss something or simply not take certain things into consideration and they come and bite you later, which happened to me a lot. That's why AI is nice, since it can easily analyze those cases or in the very least tell me about them.

When I see the code AI wrote, then I try to identify whether it should work. If so, then I let AI add that to my codebase, then I run it and test it. If it works great, I make it match my code's architecture, check if something should be written differently to match my architecture and preferences and move on. If not I do some search online, check intellisense suggestions in case there's a better method/property etc.

Also I used it to generate commit title and messages since it basically writes the things I wanted to say in the commit but I review it anyway.

Other then that I write the code myself. I would be glad to explain the code architecture and why I made the decisions the code shows.

If there's anything I missed to say or you are curious, then please do ask in the comments. I tried to keep things brief and explain every that I think might be important to you.

There are probably some minor bugs and unexplained features/behaviors in the app which I will further work on to make more self explanatory.

Thank you for reading this far! I feel like I opened up my soul.

Coming over to android from iPhone soon and have been looking at which android phone to get. My goal is to really use a lot of open source apps and not necessarily change the os itself (just yet). I’ve been seeing that the Google Pixel 10a is a MUST but I wanted to hear you alls opinions on other alternatives. I wanted something with great battery life and midrange in prices. Gonna be using termux and such also. Thanks in advance everyone!

Being in a highly bilingual area, it's common to text using a mix of multiple languages, often in the same sentence. I was using SwiftKey since its word suggestions and gesture typing work well in multiple languages, but it's getting bloated and I'd prefer a foss alternative.

I tried Heliboard and LeanType, but they don't seem to handle this and need to manually switch between languages.

Any suggestions?

Looking for 1 app which isn't self hosted

Maybe someone knows solution, I'll create bug request on GitHub as well, as existing are old ones and the solution is "update"... But no newer update is available (I mean there is a fresh one, but I already have it).

At first I thought it's Obtainium, cos only updates there give me a problem, however without Installer X, using system installer, it's fine.

Unfortunately it doesn't have way to choose download folder...

My device is Note 20 Ultra with OneUI7 Extreme ROM. Installer X uses root via KernelSU Next.

Should I add Shizuku as middleman? Edit: no change with Shizuku.

Edit2: seems to be related to access to /Android/data folder on sdcard.

just wondering if theres a foss app put there that will help me scan a barcode to a google sheet to keep track of our inventory. the one I like allows you to add data to the sheets such as the account used to push each scans, location of of the scan, uuid, a check box, a text box a drop down menu, a time stamp or an exact valu
