Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).
Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?
In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS…
Well - Kind of.
- Snapchat (not FOSS at all afaik)
- Aliucord (Modded client for Discord, at least partially open source)
- Summit (FOSS)
- Signal (FOSS, I think)
Didn’t know Summit had gone FOSS! Thanks mate! 💙
here are my 4 non-Foss apps, out of 27 total on dock (yes on the dock, using folders)
-
🚫nordvpn
-
🚫obsidian (sync disabled)
-
🚫@voice aloud tts
-
🚫MS Swiftkey settings (true privacy threat i know, but Asian lang. support is essential & it runs w/o internet perm., w/o play services, and kept in incognito.)

I don’t have a fixed bottom row.
I’ve got maximum two pages. Folder Cover mode is much more efficient. (I hope for an immersive (full screen) mode some day)
90% foss of all apps.
What’s not foss? banking, gov broadcasters, arte, ard, zdf, german train app, magic earth, ebay, dict.cc, car sharing,
I think they should make ard, zdf and arte open source!
Yes! It’s bonkers that they did not yet do it
I also think that they should work with the same backend and similar frontend. But they rather pay 5 people do to the same job
Vivaldi - FOSS Weather - FOSS FB Reader - not FOSS but soon to be replaced with Librera FD when I finish what I’m currently reading Clock - FOSS Camera - not FOSS

I thought this was an easy one, but turns out it is not.
Öffi has been a joy, it took some time, but I now like the idea of a special app for public transport a lot
I don’t have an app dock, so… zero for both?
Well i do have one, i just like to have it empty
