I'm looking for something like maybe SmartSwitch on Samsung. I have a Pixel phone running a custom OS, so was wondering if there is any FOSS app that is good for a full phone backup to PC?

Also one that can help me clone my phone to another, but that one is less important and urgent rn.

I just open-sourced my pet project Play Deals. Play Deals lists the paid apps that have some discount in their price or are 100% free on the Google Play Store.

Google removed it because of the ad position violation, finally got it reinstated a few months back and decided to open-source it as the ad revenue was just trash. This is a new version that I rewrote from scratch using Kotlin Multiplatform. It supports Android, iOS and Desktops (Mac, Linux and Windows). There are not many open-source KMP apps. I hope it fills some of the gaps.

Alongside the app, I've also open-sourced the backend. It is also rewritten fully in Kotlin and uses Vert.x.

At the moment, it only supports Android apps but long term the plan is to list IOS apps and any other apps on any platform with some discounts.

Hello all!

Also in v5.3:

  • group improvements โ€“ you can now find groups via directory service (BETA) โ€“ open link in the app.
  • simplified incognito mode
  • better app responsiveness, stability and 40% reduced memory usage.
  • new privacy settings: show last messages & save draft.

We've also added 6 new interface languages thanks to our users - Arabic, Bulgarian, Finnish, Hebrew, Thai and Ukrainian.

Read more in the post:

Install the apps via downloads page.

Please ask any questions about SimpleX Chat in the comments! Some common questions:

Was SimpleX Chat audited?

Why user IDs are bad for privacy?

How SimpleX delivers messages without user profile IDs?

How SimpleX is different from Session, Matrix, Signal, etc.?

Just wondering if there's an app that counts the days from/to a certain date. Ideally in year/month/day format rather than just the total number of days. It should also a widget feature.

This is a proprietary app:

Different apps may put downloads in their own folders in android. Is there an (foss) app to move certain files automatically? For example, move all images from those different places to one and only Images-folder.

I found only this Auto-Move app from 2014 and it's not available anymore...

Was looking FolderSync Pro alternative and came across this app Round Sync. Does it provide the same functionality that FolderSync Pro does?

I love Kiss but I also love my folders. I'm looking for a foss launcher that has these features: -- Allows you to rename apps -- Allows you to change icons to something else from the icon pack you have -- Allows you to remove certain apps from the launcher all together -- Allows you to put folders on the home page -- Allows you to switch your search engine to duckduck.go or something like that if with a search bar.

I tried tags, no thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion if you suggested anything in case I'm away and can't reply! :)
