I'm looking for a decently featured text editor for Android.

I'm used to Notepad++ on Windows

I don't code with it, but I do like features like changing Proper Case in selected text, column select copy and paste, and so forth.

It recently got an update. I personally use it along with Warp on Linux using its flatpak. Its compatible with any client that uses magic-wormhole-rs

Hey everyone 👋

I'm someone who often lends small amounts of money to friends or family – sometimes 5$ here, 10$ there – and I always forget to keep track of it. Then weeks later, I’d be wondering, “Did I ever get that money back?” 😅

So I decided to solve this problem the best way I know – by building a simple Android app to help track my loans and borrowings, with reminders so I don't forget again.

🔗 Play Store: Loan Log

What it does:

• Add Loans or Borrowings Easily – Just enter amount, name, and date.
• Get Reminded – Set reminders for due dates so you never forget.
• See Totals at a Glance – Know exactly how much you're owed or owe.
• Mark as Paid – Keep things tidy and transparent.

I built this for myself, but I figured others might be in the same boat – lending or borrowing money and struggling to remember the details later. It’s completely **free, no ads, and designed to be su

I've been using Spark email for my casual email accounts and Nine (9folders) for my work related email, including a personal work facing/professional email and an email provided by my employer.

I'm looking to consolidate to just use one app and why not FOSS. But if you somehow think there's a better non FOSS I don't mind.

What I liked about Spark that I don't think is true anymore, is that it used to try and be a replacement of Inbox when Google decided to kill it. So I'd say that I like how Inbox 99.99% of the time categorized incoming emails automatically for me into separate inboxes or folders I suppose.

Admittedly it's better for me to cull the newsletters and promos I got but I'll Get There Eventually ™️

For what I like of Nine though, I honestly not sure anymore. I guess it was for Exchange as that's what I was given by the client for a project before, and what my employer used to use. Otherwise it's just momentum because I paid for it years ago.

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has recommendations for an opensource Pinyin keyboard for Android.

Currently using FlorisBoard but it doesn't have Pinyin input only zhengma input, which seems very difficult to learn.

Tried to use one called TRIME from F-Droid but it just constantly crashes.

Hey all, I've been looking for an app to replace Flatastic as it's a convenient way to track shared expenses, shopping lists, chores and notes. However, it has ads and basic features locked behind a SaaS model. Ideally such a replacement would be free and open source, but as long as it works and doesn't sell my data, I'd buy something for a few euros. Suggestions are appreciated!

I hate the way the default Messages app takes up half my phone screen with its fricking name. I know what I'm using for crying out loud.

It's quite possibly Samsung's fault.

I think I'm a pretty generic user and don't need anything too fancy.

I wanted to play SuperTux the platforming game, but it doesn't seem to be on the play store anymore. I had downloaded it before, but it's also not in my previously downloaded apps. I can't find an apk on their github and there's only a link to the play store on their page. Does anyone know where can I find an official apk?

There are lots of apps that can export messages to HTML and other formats, but after doing some searching I didn’t find any for markdown. I know SMS are mostly text but markdown is a plain text file format which support text formats like bullets, headings, and media (usually by referencing image, video, or audio files in the same folder or in a sub-folder). That would be nice for reading and searching through in apps like Obsidian.

The BLE Manager app for Android simplifies managing your device’s characteristics. No additional libraries are required to use the app with your device. Annotate each characteristic with a descriptor specifying the data type, graphical component, and optional properties like minimum and maximum values. That’s all! Once connected, the app automatically displays the described characteristics, enabling you to read and modify their values. All components fully support notifications and indications from your device for seamless interaction.

As someone who likes to tinker with microcontrollers, this looks exactly like something I was looking for a while ago. I ended up using phyphox which offers support for custom BLE devices with custom “experiments”. I will consider using this app for future projects.

Any simple (preferably open source) app to convert a few images into a looping GIF?

I've been looking for an app that will let me write down a bunch of short ideas/phrases and move them around easily. Something like scribbling on postits and sorting into piles, ordering and rearranging them.

So far I've found lots of task list / to do type apps that I can make lists and move things about in one axis. Or mind map type apps for building specific webs. But I've not come across something quick and easy to freeform engage with my brainstorming. Any suggestions?

I have a big collection of images that i want to view them in order, so i need a gallery app that remember the last seen image so i can continue from there. Does such a gallery app exists, i checked dozens of galleries apps not implement such a basic but important feature

So... Got a rooted P9PXL and accidentally uninstalled a pretty vital app for file management. (For context: DocumentsUI.. Looks like a file management app for google) So, a few days after I uninstalled it, I noticed I couldn't download attachments from emails.

Thought it was a file association issue, but to no avail. Then I remembered uninstalling DocumentsUI... Did some research and seemed pretty grim to getting it back. However, I uninstalled it with Inure.

I recently got the app before using it to uninstall some system stuff, so I wasn't familiar with its capabilities. It can attempt to reinstall the app, which didn't work. But there is an option to Extract the apk... Tried it, and it definitely gave me a file with a random name. Went to install it, and sure enough, it reinstalled DocumentsUI.

Everything back to normal operations afterward. Inure is not just for this purpose, but man, did it save my ass. Definitely recommend.

I used to use an app Offline Reader for Reddit and wanted a similar thing for lemmy. It lets you load a bunch of selected communities while you have a connection so you can browse them later when you're offline.

I made it for myself, so there hasn't been significant testing. If you do run in to problems with it, let me know.

Hello, does anyone know of a tasks app that will keep sending reminders every x minutes until you check off a task? I have to take a pill at a specific time every day but I am absolutely terrible with reminders and I get constantly distracted. Often I see the notif/alarm but just ignore it or immediately forget about it. I wish there was a way to keep getting alarms until I actually check off that I took the pill.

I could spreadsheet or make something but would like to ask, from searching there doesn't seem to be a program that'll let me list things to try and achieve, note them as done, maybe assign a score to each goal?

After losing a notebook, I thought I'd ask about a new-fangled approach. :) Thank you for reading this and happy new year! :)
