I’ll start, mine will be Google Notes, 1Password and WhatsApp.

Firefox with uBlock Bitwarden Spotify
Bitwarden.
I used to think the same for WhatsApp, Spotify, Twitter and Apollo but they can all be replaced by alternatives (Telegram / Signal, Amazon Music, Mastodon, Memmy).
I know about Keepass but it’s definitely not as convenient and easy to use as Bitwarden.
I don’t use YouTube app because of ads everywhere but I would have trouble stop using YouTube on my computer.
KeePass is really good, but it definitely requires to handle everything outside the password management (like syncronization between devices, TOTP, password quality check, etc.). It is not user friendly at all. Thankfully KeePassDX (on Android, not pc) has a way better built-in experience.
For YouTube, check out newpipe on F-Droid. No ads, you can download content, play videos in background, etc.
Keepass was my go-to (KeepassXC and KeepassDX), but ever since selfhosting bitwarden (vaultwarden), I haven’t looked back.
#1 would be the phone app, pretty handy for calling people in real time. Without it I would have to carry a phone separately, It’s become pretty hard finding a phone booth today.
#2 Would be SMS, these are quite handy for quick messages without interrupting something important.
#3 GPS maps, I have the most amazing sense of orientation, that basically guarantees I never end up where I’m supposed to, unless I have GPS.
You may take these functions for granted children. But back in the day, maps were something you had in the glove compartment of your car. Phones were something you had on the wall, with a long wire hanging out of them, to connect you to a wired network. Messages was something you send on paper, put a stamp on, and posted through the postal service.
Of course compared to back then, a smartphone has plenty more clever functions. Like the calculator, which we did either in the head or more complex calculations were done on paper.
But I guess these aren’t what you kids were looking for. But they are actually quite amazing, even if you take them for granted. ;)
Amazing comment
Thank you. 😉
Anybody without Maps on their list must take it so deeply for granted. Even for me, growing up printing MapQuest maps as a teenager, it’s crazy how much before that was “whip out your massive dangerously distracting atlas and try to figure it out including where you are.”
Yeah those are all huge. Camera app is pretty good important too.
I was trying to think of stuff beyond system apps but point taken
Yes camera is very cool too. Especially compared to buying film and then have to have them developed. Which was pretty expensive. The quality of pictures from a modern phone is even way way better.
I knew you meant apps besides “default” or the obvious, I just came to think how different it is today with smartphones, compared to before we had the first mobile phones. Which brings us back to the very early 80’s. So I posted as mostly a joke, but also as a reminder that smartphones are pretty amazing IMO. ;)
PS. I’m from Denmark, and we were very early with first generation nationwide mobile network NMT already in 1982. And a phone for it could be had for as cheap as $7000. How time flies.

It used to be Sync for Reddit, Tachiyomi (Manga reader), and Vivaldi (Web browser, formerly Chrome but I needed adblock)
Replacement for Sync is not found.
Sync (and Boost) have Lemmy-compatible versions in development right now. Sync for Lemmy might even be out already, I haven’t checked yet.
I’ve heard about it, definitely planning to use it if it does come around. But I’m not even sure if Lemmy is going to replace reddit for my “daily driving” yet. The dust hasn’t settled yet, there were so many things reddit did that I’m not sure what the future holds. Lemmy is the only option right now however.
Give redreader a try
- Brave (Browser)
- Bitwarden (Password Manager)
- YouTube if we’re talking mobile, VS Code otherwise
Can’t believe I haven’t seen Tasker yet. Firefox and Feedly are my other two!
What do you have set up in Tasker?
A myriad of things mostly based on location or time. I have profiles that change the way the phone behaves (notification volumes, screen on time, WiFi/Bluetooth state) based on a combination of where I am and what time it is. I also have profiles that pop up information depending on where I am (for example, the 8 digit door code at a place - it changes monthly, but is not really a secure location).
I’ve built a couple of mini apps in Tasker that do things like set up timers or interact with voice recording software. the other major use is to handle notifications for really repetitive apps (e.g. if people are chatting a lot in Messages, it slows the pace of notification sounds).
Edit: Apparently “Network Timeout” does not imply that your message didn’t get posted 😬

Firefox, vscode and password manager!
A lot of people here are recommending bitwarden. What are the advantages of this over Google’s native password manager?
The free tier has all the features you need, it’s open-source and it’s not a Google product.
It’s also quite easy to switch to it from other managers, even the Google one.
Nova, Firefox nightly, kiwi browser
Those browsers allow desktop extensions. The only two that I know of on Android…
As much as I hate that Nova launcher was bought by Branch analytics… I just can’t find a suitable replacement that that matches it.
I just developed a muscle memory to be able to swipe down or up on any app to trigger a specific task. It allows me to really keep my home screen clean.
I’ve turned off automatic updates to try to limit branches intrusiveness but I’m eventually going to have to move on.
After that kiwi browser or Firefox Nightly. I need at least one of those. Those are the only browsers that allowed desktop extensions.
I guess I would choose with Firefox Nightly as it gets updated much more frequently and isn’t chromium.
Fennec (Firefox fork), Tutanota (Email/Calendar), and Spotify (evil proprietary company)
Try Mull, doesn’t have the traciking that Fennec has
Evernote (functional note-taking app), ReVanced (Youtube ads are a blight on civilization), My Boy! (Fire Emblem GBA series are my comfort games which get me through my bus commute. I would buy them on actual hardware if Nintendo didn’t make it such an obtuse PITA with limited-time subscriptions to induce artificial scarcity.)
Literally why I got a Deck instead of a Switch.
Bitwarden, Firefox and KDE Connect
I used KDEConnect for 48h and can’t live without it anymore.
Best media control, file sharing without usb/bluetooth and sharedclip board is next lvl.
What is kdeconnect?
- F-Droid
- Vinyl
- AntennaPod
- OsmAnd
- Play Store
- Firefox
- lichess
- Signal
- DuoLingo
- Firefox
3 Stores-ish nested 3 deep count?
I’ll allow it🧑⚖️
- F-Droid
