I have some experience with some of these apps:

• open food/beauty facts: both have a long way to go IMO. The ui is very janky and lots of things don't work. Open food facts seems to be a bit better but not much
• loop habit tracker: fantastic app, I use it every day, never saw a bug
• gadgetbridge: the ui seems rudimentary, but it has everything you need and it works really well. YMMV depending on which gadget you have though
• openscale: only used it for manual tracking. It's very very basic but somehow I didn't find a better alternative

Cool but seems very unrelated?

The project received some substantial funding recently, so I think I can see where this fear is coming from. However, I also think that a lot of what you say is not true.

The project wasn't started "because chromium and Firefox have bad reputation" and the website doesn't even mention either of them or privacy at all. It was the browser of serenityOS, a from-scratch OS created many years ago by Andreas Kling to help himself overcome drug addiction. The browser part simply got so much traction that he recently decided top split the projects.

The project uses the BSD 2-Clause license which is a very common, OSI approved open source license, so I'm not sure what concerns you have in this regard.

Furthermore, I don't see where you got the "pay for privacy" claim. While they do not state whether the browser will require a license, I would be very surprised if it did, given the projects history. Lastly, a lot of open source projects post monthly updates online and Andreas has done so four many years now. Calling it "propaganda" seems unnecessary and inflammatory.

Please do some research before making big claims like this.

Have a good day, friend!

Tbf, they don't claim that it is ready for regular use yet:

When is it coming?

We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version on Linux and macOS. This will be aimed at developers and early adopters.

Space cadet has been reverse engineered and can be installed in Linux through flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.k4zmu2a.spacecadetpinball

Have you tried Material Files (it's on fdroid)? It's genuinely great and it supports different remote protocols, although I haven't personally tried this feature.

I don't know about "simple", but it's very good. Been a happy user for many years

Wunderground was great before they got acquired by IBM

I totally get where you're coming from and if there was a lean and stable app for files, calendar, contacts and tasks I would be very happy to check it out. But last time I searched there wasn't anything I would trust.

Also, it looks like roundcube is now part of nextcloud 🤷

Fair enough, I guess, but what if I wanna selfhost?

This is great news! 👏

Honest question… Is there a better alternative?
