Definitely Syncthing.
Great app to sync my phone with my laptop.
I have an extensive syncthing set up but I find the mobile app a battery hungry
- LibreWolf, a privacy-optimized fork of Firefox
- Mull, hardened Firefox for Android.
- EteSync with self-hosted Etebase, an end-to-end encrypted solution for syncing calendars and contacts.
- Molly, a hardened Signal fork for Android.
- Accrescent, a secure, alternative app store for Android. Still in an early stage of development though.
- UnifiedPush, a privacy-friendly notification system.
- LibRedirect, a browser extension that automatically redirects you to private frontends for privacy invasive websites.
- movie-web, a web app that let’s you watch any movie/tv show for free. I highly recommend it.
- Seal, an amazing Android app for downloading videos. YTDLnis is an alternative.
- Cobalt downloader, a website that let’s you download basically everything imaginable from the internet. All kinds of posts, photos and videos from various social media platforms and many other websites.
- Linkwarden, a bookmark manager that can be self-hosted. Also check out Omnivore and wallabag.
- ArchiveBox, a self-hosted app for archiving websites.
- Tube Archivist, a self-hosted app for archiving YouTube videos/playlists/channels.
(I love downloading and archiving stuff lol)
This is fantastic! Just started switching over to Librewolf and Mull. I discovered xBrowserSync in the process, which is a great way to sync browser bookmarks. https://www.xbrowsersync.org/
If you only use Firefox-based browsers, you don’t actually need the extension. You can simply enable Firefox Sync in the LibreWolf settings and it’s end-to-end encrypted by default.
Is EteSync free? It seems to be offering trials and paid plans.
That’s for their cloud hosting. But the self-hosted variant is completely free.
Android
Audile like SoundHoud and Shazam but open source
Funkwhale a federated cloud community music streamer app
Innertune find new songs from Spotify
Open Video Editor edit videos
Heliboard successor of OpenBoard
Tubular successor of NewPipe
ZipXtract a zip extractor
Wger fitness app
Please just a reminder, consider contributing to these apps developers.
Kotatsu and Mira, both on F-Droid. Kotatsu makes it easier to read manga without a subscription and you can add your own DRM-free manga. Mira is similar but adds anime and K-drama streaming as an option as well.
Even though I am subbed to Crunchyroll, having an option to watch if I have to cancel to save money, that’s very helpful.

Edit: Input Leap looks like a promising KVM replacement for Barrier, thanks for sharing!
I love Barrier but need it to work with wayland.
Check out Input Leap
I think Input Leap is a fork that works on Wayland
It’s project management software made by and for worker cooperatives. It’s useful for any kind of organization where you want to be able to scale without introducing management hierarchy, want members to be able to come and go, and just generally value transparency and spontaneity.
Is it free? It’s suggesting a free trial.
It’s open source, so you can use their official hosted service or you can self host for free.
LogSec for students, project organization, and the aspiring corkboard conspiracy theorist in your life wanting to be the next Mark Lombardi. Use markdown in a free flow style notes app that has powerful tools to connect ideas, so you can focus on the information as opposed the organization. Semantics instead of syntax, as it were.
Where it the data stored, this looks really interesting.
In markdown files, locally on your computer
Oh that’s cool. How easy would it be to sync those files between devices?
Stremio. A free Netflix-like UX for streaming bittorrents.
movie-web is another cool web app for streaming movies/tv shows
That link is a 404
Fuck my browser, it keeps suggesting me that one broken link from my history. The correct link is https://movie-web.github.io/docs
Thanks for pointing this out though
Just realized that a little quick start guide would be pretty useful, as the documentation isn’t very straight-forward:
You don’t need to self-host it, you can, but you don’t have to. Just go to any one of the public instances and either install the browser addon, or use this guide to deploy a proxy for free. This is useful if you can’t install browser addons, e.g. in the PWA or on a mobile browser that doesn’t support extensions. That’s it actually, you can now search for any movie/TV show you like and stream or download it completely for free.

OCR: OCRmyPDFChimeraOS. If you have a non-steam gamerdeck, I recommend backing up the Windows 11 install and replacing it with this outright. It’s based on the Steam Deck OS and makes the process of selecting a game much faster because Windows 11 is bloated as shit.
Paperless has taken me from various stacks of important documents strewn around my apartment, to having all of these things nicely organised and searchable.
Absolutely second this. Its been a game changer
Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.
rclone - you can use cheapest cloud or s3 provider and sync encrypted data. Syncthing - sync across devices.
Recently, UnifiedPush where I can (currently just Megalodon for Mastodon sadly) as an alternative to using Google’s push notifications.
If you use signal, the fork Molly has UP support now
