Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can’t just build/edit an app.

For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/

It’s not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can’t connect to the internet so there’s no way anyone can get my health info.

          Not OP, but it’s decent.

          If you’re used to swiping to type on Gboard, the predictions aren’t as accurate. 10-25% of the time, manually typing is faster than swiping because the predictions are so wrong, or because there’s no prediction at all.

          It’s supposed to train locally in order to improve the predictions, but I don’t know how long it will take for it to “catch up” to the swipe-to-text experience that I’m used to.

            I could not live without swiping. Used SwiftKey but then switched to Google like 2 years ago after it got too bad.

      Does notally work by syncing online? I haven’t found one that allows me to share notes with family that still is more trustworthy than Google (apart from setting up my own server that I can connect to when I’m out).

    I use the duck-duck-go browser on my phone. It has kinda private mode enabled all the time.

    Some wild websites complain about my adblocker then, which does not exist :)

      TranslateYou is great! I use it for quick translations. For longer translations and conversations, there’s the less feature-rich, but incredibly powerful on-device translator, RTranslator. It is truly and incredibly impressive.

      Also, there is a whole suite of “You” apps. I’ve used the recorder and the calculator and liked them a lot.
