Some pointers for reliable and privacy-friendly apps for my phone.
- Sebsauvage’s list is always a good place to start (in french).
- Seb also has a DNS block list which you can use to filter a large quantity of advertisers and trackers.
- The F-droid alternative app repository has a lot of good options.
- A few lesser known apps that I like:
- Aurora store (install apps from Google Play without a google account)
- Fossify calendar + DAVx5 for CalDAV calendars (eg. the one from Nextcloud)
- More generally Fossify has a few FOSS apps for the basics (SMS, contacts, gallery,…)
- Organic maps for navigation (based on Openstreet maps, works offline)
- SMS import/export which as the name clearly suggests can also import and export call logs and contacts
- Syncthing to sync things between my devices without going through the internet.
