    Wallabag.

    I self-host my own instace, save articles I want to read from my laptop, and then they sync with the app on my phone. I read them offline when I have some time to kill

      That looks exactly like something I’ve been looking for. I’m going to spin up an instance tonight and take it for a test drive. Thanks!

        I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.

        I used ansible (and pass to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):

        - name: Deploy Wallabag database
          community.docker.docker_container:
            name: db_wallabag
            image: mariadb
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            env:
              MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
            volumes:
            - ~/wallabag/data:/var/lib/mysql
            healthcheck:
              test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
              interval: 20s
              timeout: 3s
        
        - name: Deploy Wallabag redis
          community.docker.docker_container:
            name: redis_wallabag
            image: redis:alpine
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            links:
            - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
            healthcheck:
              test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
              interval: 20s
              timeout: 3s
        
        - name: Deploy Wallabag
          community.docker.docker_container:
            image: wallabag/wallabag:latest
            name: wallabag
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            links:
            - "redis_wallabag:redis_wallabag"
            - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
            ports:
            - "80"
            env:
              MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER: pdo_mysql
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST: db_wallabag
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT: "3306"
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME: db_wallabag
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER: db_wallabag
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_symfony_env_database_password', missing='warn') }}"
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_CHARSET: utf8mb4
              SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX: "wallabag_"
              SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_DSN: smtp://127.0.0.1
              SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL: [email protected]
              SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME: 
              SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME: 
            volumes:
            - ~/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images
            - ~/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data
            healthcheck:
              test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost"]
              interval: 1m
              timeout: 3s
        
        
        

        Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy

        - name: Upload Caddyfile
          ansible.builtin.copy:
            src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile
            dest: ~/Caddyfile
        
        - name: Deploy caddy
          community.docker.docker_container:
            image: caddy:2
            name: caddy
            user: "1000:1000"
            recreate: true
            state: started
            memory: 500MB
            restart_policy: always
            log_options:
              max-size: "10m"
              max-file: "1"
            links:
            - "wallabag:wallabag"
            ports:
            - "80:80"
            - "443:443"
            volumes:
            - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
            - ~/caddy_data:/data
            - ~/caddy_config:/config
        

        And this is the Caddyfile

        my.url.com {
            reverse_proxy wallabag:80
        }
        

        Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.

    TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that’s so good

    Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)

      May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn’t collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it’s packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.

      Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly

        I will check it out but, unless I’m just missing it, it doesn’t seem to have an iOS/iPad app. That unfortunately might be enough to be a dealbreaker

    A few I haven’t seen mentioned:

    • Moon+ Reader - My favorite ebook reader of all time.
    • Tea Time - Simple timer widgets
    • Simple Time Tracker - Track what you do
    • NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, M64+ FZ - Emulators
    • Thunder - Lemmy
    • Root Explorer - file explorer
    • Lichess - Chess, free of ads, no fees. Almost entirely FOSS.

    Also +1 to the usual favorites: Firefox, Termux, Nova, etc.

    Sync for Lemmy, Voyager and Summit, if I need to narrow it down to three Lemmy clients.

    Google Photos with Pixelifly 🏴‍☠️

    Telegram to discuss about custom ROMs and talk with my gf.

    Spark Mail because I love Inbox Zero, also has some nice team features.

    Spotify for music, ViMusic as a close second.

    Google Chrome (looking to replace it with Ice Raven, Firefox when it gets full extension support).

    Feedly and Feeder, the one to discover and manager plus multi platform, the second because I think it is a superior RSS app, used along with Discovery Killer to replace cringe Google Discover.

    Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) for password management.

    Showly synced with Trak.tv to manage my TV shows/Anime and Movies.

    Todoist (looking to replace it with Tasks.org, but I really need this to be multiplatform, just as with Feedly), also testing with Ruppu for simpler stuff.

    Droidify to handle all these awesome Open Source mess ;)

    Smart Dock

    Classic PowerMenu

    Ice Box and App Manager/SD Maid

    Franco Kernel Manager and Magisk.

    Runners up:

    Download Progress ++ and Media Bar

    I think this would be the summarized list.

      Just as an FYI - tasks.org and iOS Reminders are compatible if you use a CalDAV provider as the underlying source. EteSync also works, but not very well, so I’d suggest CalDAV.

        Pixelifly for Google Photos allows you to spoof the Google Photos app to the Pixel XL, meaning we get full quality unlimited storage for the photos and videos (requires root).

        Smart Dock is a dock which places in the bottom of your screen for quick access to apps and system actions, it can be used to replace the Android app switcher and Android Buttons, but I only use it for multitasking and accessing my favorite apps quickly.

        Classic PowerMenu allows you to have your Gpay stuff when you hold the power button, I don’t use it because my country does not support it lol, I mainly liked it because I like the quick access to the smart devices, also requires root.

        Download Progress and Media Bar add a tiny bar near the statusbar, one for downloads from every app (no need to pull down QS 😂) media bar for all music and video apps, also lets you to rewind, forward and pause from there, as many other features.

    Alarmed (iOS only, unfortunately). It allows you to set nagging reminders with notifications and has great features for snoozing a reminder or setting up routine reminders.

    It’s great for ADHD. I basically use it for my schedule I’ll have it remind me the morning of something (or the day before depending on the event), when the reminder comes up, I’ll snooze it to to just before I have to leave.

    I had been using apples “reminders”, which just seem to disappear into the ether if you happen to miss the notification.

      Have you considered Proton Pass as an alternative to BitWarden? I made the switch recently and I’m much happier with the integrations.

        I use it for lots of things. I’m not a coder, so I can’t make my own apps from scratch. With Tasker I can make my own apps. I’ve made tons of them.

        I still have a Reddit account because there are some core subs that haven’t migrated, but I don’t have to official app installed. I use Tasker to check Reddit and notify me of posts.

        My memory is horrible and my schedule is varied every day, so I can’t set alarms for certain times. I made an app where I can say something to my watch and it will remind me depending on my location. For example, I can remind myself to get paper towels on my way home from work. When I leave work, it will send a reminder to my watch.

        I use it for call screening. I only let calls from my contacts ring. It sends all other calls to voicemail.

        I use it to run scripts in Termux.

        I have a routine that will tell me why an app was closed.

        I have it POST things to the timeline on my watch with JSON.

        I have it reassign functions to my phone’s buttons. I made an app that turns on the flashlight when I shake the phone.

        I have it put the battery level of my Bluetooth devices in my notification bar and on my watchface.

        I have it gather weather and notify me conditions and severe weather alerts.

        I could go on and on, but you get the idea. You can do just about anything with it.

    “FitNotes” the workout app, because i’ve been using it for 7(?) years now to track my workout progress over the years and love the data/analytics. pretty user friendly, not super powerful, but great for tracking exercises.

    and since google no longer supports music player apps outside of youtube, i guess Spotify, cuz that’s the only way to listen to music nowadays. shout out to a friend who added me to his premium years ago
