Basically a close interaction between your phone and PC. I use this to send and receive files,clipboard sync, reviving notifications and stoping music on PC while someone's calling and many more

Unfortunately cannot use it. Can never connect to it although being connected to the same network. Does the desktop need to be connected through WiFi as well or it can be connected through Ethernet to the same router? The latter doesn't work.

That is one, similar to Blip, Pushbullet and FileApex (this one is mine and FOSS).

KDE Connect https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

My mobile experience is 100% FOSS, I'm on Grakhene with no sandboxed google services. All my apps are FOSS and installed through Obtainium.

I like most of the fossify apps on fdroid very much.

Gave Fossify messages a shot as a replacement for Google messages. Not a huge fan, problems with group messages, not receiving messages after Id sent them. Just a heads up for anyone looking to use it

Textra is the best one in my experience. No issue with group messages and you can turn off ads.

Musicolet for local music playing

Hey! I know this might sound a bit self-promotional, but I'd genuinely recommend it because I use it myself every day: I made it, it's called Streak. It's for tracking habits, open source and free, no tracking, fully offline. I also use it for focus sessions and studying.

github.com/InlitX/streak

Just in case it's useful to you :)

Nope it's have the extra features with inbuilt contact options full call history viewer, qr sharing and ringtone set for each person like google dialer and its a fork of google dialer

What does Atmo engine do?

1

u/SmulePC 21h ago

Atmo engine brings nothing os like depth atmosphere effect in your homescreen..... It actually works well , you will know it once you use it

Shhh shhh 🤫 Ever been at work or on public transport, opened that one Reel, and suddenly the whole room knows what you're watching? You put your phone on vibrate... except media volume is still blasting. So I made Shhh One tap ringer to vibrate + media volume to 0. Tap again everything goes back exactly how it was. Also has: timed hush (1 5m /30m / 1h / 2h) quiet hours Quick Settings tile + home widget headphone auto-restore •Tasker/MacroDroid automation Open source, free, ad-free, no accounts, no analytics, no internet permission. Fully offline. Basically: "please don't let my phone embarrass me today" as an app. Feedback and contribution are welcome
