      In around two weeks I’m migrating from iOS to a postmarketOS phone. Please leave app suggestions, I’m definitely going to need them!

      Waydroid is… fine, but not preferred Please avoid android apps unless it’s something that is like confirmed to work well on waydroid, is proprietary or something so has no alternatives or something like that. I’m not launching waydroid to listen to music, to read my e-mails or to use xmpp.

      Some examples of what I’m looking for, probably for Plasma Mobile:

      1. Is there like… LibreOffice Mobile or something? To substitute the iWork suite?
      2. Apple Music clients
      3. Something self-hosted to substitute Siri, with ability to set timers and stuff
      4. A reminders app that can sync with a caldav server
      5. Is there a port of GadgetBridge for Linux?
      6. I’ll probably make my own water logging and HealthKit-alternative app/“protocol” if that’s not a thing yet, but less work is less work if that exists
      7. A XMPP client, preferably with spaces support
      8. Immich client (preferably with some form of caching for recent photos)
      9. Bitwarden client
      10. HomeAssistant client
      11. E-mail client
      12. These will probably go on waydroid, but: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Signal clients
      13. Some kind of map app, maybe with live traffic data?
      14. Some kind of backup wizzard to my NAS, tho I’ll probably just make some rsync scripts
      15. A better keyboard than Plasma Mobile’s default

      And also just anything y’all find useful in your daily life with a postmarketOS daily driver, I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of stuff here.

      I know some of those exist for desktop Linux, but I’m obviously looking for stuff made with phones in mind (so like… apps made for gnome should be automatically fine maybe?)

      (Also, has anyone managed to get nix’s system-manager to work on postmarketOS? There’s no way I’m configuring all of this by hand every time I need to flash it lmao)

      @luana Go to Flathub. It has a mobile friendly section. Also, dont be afraid to use PWA apps. They work well.

        @hsza as I mentioned I’m getting nix and system-manager on it, so unless the openrc family gets a feature-complete systemd-compatible implementation that’ll unfortunately be a no

          for email i've used geary before and it's alright . there's also merkuro mail if you prefer something qt based , but i generally find that gtk apps perform a bit better ( just a rule of thumb , not always true )
          dino is probably your best bet for xmpp , it's not perfect but it's what i've found to be the most usable .
          there's armcord for discord , for signal there's flare
          there's pika backup , which is pretty nice
          for the keyboard , you could try stevia instead of plasma-keyboard ? ( or maliit2 maybe ? ) there's also ways to get android keyboard working with atl but i haven't figured that out yet .
          for bitwarden , there's not really a good option besides just like the browser extension for firefox .
          there is a pinetime compatible app if that's what you mean , but there's not a generic gadgetbridge port , that is very much android specific .
          for reminders , there's merkuro calendar if you prefer qt apps ! and for gtk , there's planify ( disclosure , i have not tried this one out personally )
          there's not like , any good mobile optimized mobile editor for linux . onlyoffice is sorta the best it gets in this regard and it's still not great .

          i have not tried nix home-manager yet since my phone isn't really powerful enough for it , but if u get it working i'd love to know lol

          hope this helps !

            9. There's BitRitter, but I haven't gotten it to log in successfully yet. I use the FF extension otherwise, and manually copy passwords.
            10. There's Butler which just wraps a webview, but no widgets or anything AFAIK. Butler fails to log in for me but it might be an issue on my side.
            11. I use Geary, which works if you get past the janky UI. There's a mobile-config-thunderbird but it doesn't render any emails for me.

            @allpurposemat
            I am the maintainer of BitRitter, can you elaborate (in DM/here/issue) what is happening? I am sure we can work it out.

            OT: for tasks i use Planify, works good with my nextcloud CalDAV sync.

              @luana For Telegram Telegram Desktop works great, and there is a fork of Signal Desktop that makes it mobile friendly, you could use WhatsApp using atl (Android Translation Layer) but that's not perfect yet, also keep in mind battery life is not great unless you use something like mobile-power-saver, i have it packaged here but i didn't have the time to send it to upstream yet (it only works with systemd) https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/panpanpanpan/pmaports/-/tree/mobile-power-saver

                @pan someone mentioned an ATL for WhatsApp flatpak in a DM, I’ll try it out! Didn’t know there were already that many apps working with ATL.

                Is it possible to get notifications with ATL apps at all?

                  @luana Yes!, notifications works and it's easy to try it out with https://gitlab.com/julianwi/atl_flatpaks (whatsapp needs some out of tree patches that are not there yet, but it works)

                              In around two weeks I’m migrating from iOS to a postmarketOS phone. Please leave app suggestions, I’m definitely going to need them!

                              Waydroid is… fine, but not preferred Please avoid android apps unless it’s something that is like confirmed to work well on waydroid, is proprietary or something so has no alternatives or something like that. I’m not launching waydroid to listen to music, to read my e-mails or to use xmpp.

                              Some examples of what I’m looking for, probably for Plasma Mobile:

                              1. Is there like… LibreOffice Mobile or something? To substitute the iWork suite?
                              2. Apple Music clients
                              3. Something self-hosted to substitute Siri, with ability to set timers and stuff
                              4. A reminders app that can sync with a caldav server
                              5. Is there a port of GadgetBridge for Linux?
                              6. I’ll probably make my own water logging and HealthKit-alternative app/“protocol” if that’s not a thing yet, but less work is less work if that exists
                              7. A XMPP client, preferably with spaces support
                              8. Immich client (preferably with some form of caching for recent photos)
                              9. Bitwarden client
                              10. HomeAssistant client
                              11. E-mail client
                              12. These will probably go on waydroid, but: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Signal clients
                              13. Some kind of map app, maybe with live traffic data?
                              14. Some kind of backup wizzard to my NAS, tho I’ll probably just make some rsync scripts
                              15. A better keyboard than Plasma Mobile’s default

                              And also just anything y’all find useful in your daily life with a postmarketOS daily driver, I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of stuff here.

                              I know some of those exist for desktop Linux, but I’m obviously looking for stuff made with phones in mind (so like… apps made for gnome should be automatically fine maybe?)

                              (Also, has anyone managed to get nix’s system-manager to work on postmarketOS? There’s no way I’m configuring all of this by hand every time I need to flash it lmao)

                              @luana really nice! Just need to keep in mind, that you might want to keep a second phone around for calls, since that is still not very reliable at the moment, but hopefully that'll change soon.

                              Have fun!
