i have a few all time favourites on android:
-Aves, a really good gallery app
-openboard, awesome keyboard without tracking software
-fairmail, really good email app
-liftoff for lemmy
-dolphin emulator, if your phone can run it
-SD maid SE, one of those storage cleaner thingys
-syncthing, for making backups over WiFi
there's even more i use on windows. if you look hard enough, you will find an alternative to every program you're using.
Rad, but openboard doesn't swipe? Bummer... I've been meaning to learn how to tap, so I'll give it a go all the same.
Floris board has the best swipe amongst foss options Ive tried. And Ive tried a few. But unfortunately google/ samsung swipe keyboards were super convenient.
Actually keypass2android, my password managaer has a keyboard thats the best (but its really ugly) so I cant use that.
pretty sure you can swipe. i just never use it.
edit: nvm you can't
This fork has it

Oh fantastic, that's really worth a look.
Pity I've just trashed my phone and am stuck on a corporate-managed device!
Syncthing was the way I ended up solving the problem of having the same playlists on mobile and desktop.
Playlists?
.m3u format is shared between most sound apps, and I was keeping music on the same relative path anyways between devices. So basically I can define playlists on PC and have them show up on the phone. Then on the phone I can track the number of times and the rating of each music and create dynamic lists, which I can send back to PC if I feel like moving things around.
Just downloaded openboard, seems pretty good. Have been growing dissatisfied with Swiftkey for a while now.
Amazing list, thank you!!
I have tried to use Openboard, but Gboard really spoiled me with the quick language auto detection... I have even tried using the iOS stock keyboard and it sucks balls compared to Gboard...
