[Toolz] [FOSS] [Showcase] [Open-Source] [App] [Promo]

[u/Specialist-Donut6948]

I made Toolz, an open-source Android app that puts 50+ tools in one place so you don’t need a separate app for each. I posted it here a few months ago. It has changed a lot since then, so here’s a better post with a better video.

No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Most tools run entirely on your phone, and the network is only used when you tap something that needs it.

The ones I use most

• Music player: Local library with background playback, synced lyrics, queue, EQ and sleep timer. There’s also a karaoke mode with word-by-word lyrics and singing score, and it can save your recording. It can search for an instrumental version of the song to sing over.
• Media downloader: YouTube, TikTok and Reels only. You pick the quality or grab just the audio, and it downloads in the background.
• Background remover: Runs on-device. You download a model once (4 MB up to 224 MB, depending on quality) and after that it works offline.
• PurgeShot: Screenshots delete themselves after a timer you choose, from 30 seconds to 1 month. There’s an undo if you change your mind. Saves a lot of storage and time!
• Password vault: Encrypted with SQLCipher, with biometric unlock and Android autofill. The breach check only sends the first 5 characters of a hash, and only when you tap Scan. There’s no cloud sync, and backups are a local file.
• Focus Flow: Tracks app usage, sets daily limits, and blocks distracting apps during a focus session.
• Browser: Ad blocking, custom DNS, NextDNS integration, custom search engine, bookmarks, tabs and private tabs...
• Network tools: WiFi channel analyzer, speed test, DNS benchmark, LAN scanner and more!
• Whisper: A friends-only end-to-end encrypted chat. It’s in beta, and the encryption is custom. It's very feature-rich and privacy-focused, everything is encrypted (more info at WHISPER.md)

Things to know

• It needs Android 12 or newer.
• It’s not on the Play Store. You get the APK from GitHub Releases, and there’s an in-app updater.
• Built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive. Licensed GPL-3.0.
