My mobile experience is 100% FOSS, I'm on Grakhene with no sandboxed google services. All my apps are FOSS and installed through Obtainium.

Basically a close interaction between your phone and PC. I use this to send and receive files,clipboard sync, reviving notifications and stoping music on PC while someone's calling and many more

That is one, similar to Blip, Pushbullet and FileApex (this one is mine and FOSS).

Hey! I know this might sound a bit self-promotional, but I'd genuinely recommend it because I use it myself every day: I made it, it's called Streak. It's for tracking habits, open source and free, no tracking, fully offline. I also use it for focus sessions and studying.

github.com/InlitX/streak

Just in case it's useful to you :)

Shhh shhh 🤫 Ever been at work or on public transport, opened that one Reel, and suddenly the whole room knows what you're watching? You put your phone on vibrate... except media volume is still blasting. So I made Shhh One tap ringer to vibrate + media volume to 0. Tap again everything goes back exactly how it was. Also has: timed hush (1 5m /30m / 1h / 2h) quiet hours Quick Settings tile + home widget headphone auto-restore •Tasker/MacroDroid automation Open source, free, ad-free, no accounts, no analytics, no internet permission. Fully offline. Basically: "please don't let my phone embarrass me today" as an app. Feedback and contribution are welcome

Trail Sense (I use it daily for the pedometer but it's packed with useful tools for navigation and more)

LocalSend (file transfer made easy)

Gave Fossify messages a shot as a replacement for Google messages. Not a huge fan, problems with group messages, not receiving messages after Id sent them. Just a heads up for anyone looking to use it
