I just installed GraphenOS as my daily driver yesterday, and so far it’s been smooth. I decided to go all in on FOSS applications and avoid Google Play Services entirely.
So anyone have any recommendations for common replacements? So far I’ve got:
- Florisboard for my keyboard
- Signal for messaging
- NewPipe for Youtube
- Organic Maps for navigation
- Bitwarden for password management
- Aegis for 2FA
and that’s about it. I’ve been trying to find something for Spotify, other than ditching it entirely, but I’ve had no luck. My partner pays for a duo account, but if there’s an alternative I’m ears.
Ente offers E2EE photo backup (and a 2FA app). If you used google photos before, ente offers one gigabyte of photo data for free.
Mozilla Thunderbird and ProtonMail are some good apps for managing email. I’ve also heard good things about FairEmail but have not used it myself.
There’s also Skiff worth checking out for email. Their work is looking really good. They’re still in an early development stage but from my testing, it looks good.
Their company is in the USA however.
