Preparing a megathread about android FOSS apps - Part Four (Keyboards, Notes, Maps and Music Players) (lemmy.ml)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

This thread is ONLY to talk about Keyboards, Notes, Maps and Music Players. I add video Music Players because probably some people want to know about good FOSS alternatives.

Little context

spoiler

Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?

We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.

I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I’m going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.

Your opinions about it are CRUCIAL and FUNDAMENTAL, because your opinions is the main-base to build the megathread.

Please, consider share your ideas and thoughts about apps on previous threads. Your opinions are really important to build final megathread. You can upvote or downvote posts so that comments gain strength and agreement between the community.

OINotepad lost the ability to export notes to a file.

What is another notes app that is single press to start a new note, after app opening. Has no-nag auto-save if app is closed halfway through writing a note. Can auto title the note with the first line of the note. Can export all notes to a clear-readable file. Has search within a single note. And can sort by most recently modified.

Prefer on fdroid, but open to any FLOSS solution(on obtanium etc.)

OINotepad covered all this. Standard notes comes close but I can't search within an individual note.

Please help. (c:

Notesnook?

It has a premium tier with some features locked behind that, so try the freebie first to see if it's what you want. But I think if covers all those bases. It's other selling point is encryption, security, and privacy. So by default it'll prompt for biometrics or password to open the app. You can turn off a bunch of that if it ends up being too much friction for the quick note taking you're insinuating.

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. That one is not in the 15 I have tried, I'll check it out.

UPDATE: So I tried a whole bunch more note apps, and settled on

NeutriNote CE

It covers all the functionality I need, and is powerful with plenty of features if required.

Thanks for the other suggestion too.
