FOSS Apps that don't use GPS? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I just installed GraphenOS as my daily driver yesterday, and so far it's been smooth. I decided to go all in on FOSS applications and avoid Google Play Services entirely.

So anyone have any recommendations for common replacements? So far I've got:

Florisboard for my keyboard
Signal for messaging
NewPipe for Youtube
Organic Maps for navigation
Bitwarden for password management
Aegis for 2FA

and that's about it. I've been trying to find something for Spotify, other than ditching it entirely, but I've had no luck. My partner pays for a duo account, but if there's an alternative I'm ears.

Oh! I got some great recommendations!

I use:

ViMusic for music (free, don't quote me but I believe it uses Spotify and YouTube APIs for music?)
OpenBoard for keyboard (I found a GitHub Fork that included swipe to text but can't remember the name - doesn't work great anyways)
Checkout LibreTube as an alternative to NewPipe
LibreTorrent for torrenting (kinda buggy sometimes but better than any other FOSS alternatives)
UntrackMe for redirecting site links to privacy-friendly frontends (YouTube->Piped, Reddit->libreddit, etc)
Quillnote for notes (its simply the best, I have tried a lot of other note apps)
Checkout Magic Earth (it's not FOSS but it takes a strong stance on privacy and uses OpenStreetMaps)
Trusty ol' VLC Media Player

Libretorrent hasn't been updated for over a year, would that make it potentially unsafe to use?

I am not sure. I have yet to find a good FOSS Android torrent client. I have experienced annoying bugs and crashing with all them that I have tested and LibreTorrent seems to be the most stable.
