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

    Here are the ones I use:

    • YouTube:

    This is the hardest and you might need to hop a lot. But, these are the ones I have: FreeTube, Grayjay, LibreTube, NewPipe, PipePipe, and if none of these work, then YTDLnis (yt-dlp client)

    • Mail:

    ProtonMail (Tuta is heavily suggested too, but I personally have never used it)

    • Cloud Storage:

    Proton Drive (although I don’t use cloud storage much)

    • Gallery:

    Stock and AvesLibre (I heard Immich is good too, but I cannot afford self hosting atm)

    • Video Player

    VLC

    • Audio Player

    VLC

    • 2FA

    Proton Pass and KeepassXC

    • Mail App

    ProtonMail and K9Mail

    • Password Manager

    Proton Pass and KeepassXC

    • Weather app

    Breezy Weather

      :O libretube has both sponsorblock and DeArrow, that’s cool!

      I know about proton storage but is it good?

      Out of curiosity, why KeepassXC over bitwarden?

        I don’t use Proton Drive too much, but for my use case, it works great. I sometimes save files in there and share them via urls, and it works great for that use case.

        The last time I used Bitwarden, the base plan did not support 2FA which is a must for me. Keepass keeps it local, and supports 2FA too. These days, I use Proton Pass more because I want easier sync across my devices, but I back up everything to Keepass every once in a while.
