Hello everyone!

Recently, I saw so many posts about this and I started to think about degoogling (degoogleing?) my life.

I’ve started with fdroid and found some nice apps in there and I’m curious to know some alternatives I may or may not know

  • Youtube: Currently, I use ReVanced and even though is just the default app with something in it, I want an alternative with background listening, import my subscriptions w/ notifications and if possible with sponsorblock
  • Mail: Using a combo or Gmail + proton. I started to use proton recently and I want to move everything there when I have time. Suggestions here?
  • Cloud storage: Self hosted/proton? Alternatives
  • Gallery app: Stock
  • Video player: Stock
  • Music player: Stock
  • 2FA app: I have Authy and I tried to install aegis. I also have Ente but I’ve never used both
  • Mail app: Using K9 and the app is awesome compared to google or Samsung Mail
  • Password Manager: Bitwarden
  • Weather app: Currently, using Breezy weather

If possible, apps with a nice looking UI, modern with/without Material You

I’m using a Samsung S23 and I would like to know how bad it is to change ROM with something better and if it’s really worth Pixel + GrapheneOS. Thanks

Edit: I forgot the most important one with probably no alternatives (?) Thanks to @[email protected] (idk how to mention)

    I think most use who use keepass instead of bitwarden do so because keepass is offline, unlike bitwarden. At least that’s what I understand.

      KeePass is offline unlike KeePass 🤔 something is wrong. I get what you mean and finally someone answers

      Yeah but I prefer have them on my phone and pc and If I lose a phone I still have everything…?

        So you can use KeePass + Syncthing to synchronize the database file across your devices. Keeps it distributed and I’ve heard a lot of recommendations for this, although I haven’t tried it.

        If you don’t want to do that, Bitwarden is well regarded and probably would suit your needs based on what you’ve said.

        For my threat model, I don’t trust any online password manager, so I host my own local Bitwarden server (Vaultwarden) and use Tailscale to securely access it from any device, and if the server goes down, the Bitwarden client keeps a cached copy on the device itself.
