Password Store + OpenKeychain - Supports Yubikeys (NFC and USB) for both decrypt and ssh+git sync
Syncthing
Uploads my photos to where another script can publish them to my photo gallery
Like Google Photos with “unlimited” storage and original quality
Element - Self hosted Synapse with Googlechat bridge eliminated regular Google Chat for me
Firefox
KeePassXC - Yubikeys don’t work for my wife. We handle shared passwords with this + Syncthing.
Aegis - 2FA with workable backup
I’m looking for:
Launcher most comparable to Nova. Majority FOSS launchers seem to be text-based search things which is getting way too into the weeds for me.
Mail app with good search. I don’t think this actually exists because IMAP sucks too much but lack of search will always make the transition from Gmail nearly impossible.
Neo Launcher looks like exactly what I want! Thank you!

I had seen this referenced a few times in the past couple of weeks but finally got off my butt to check it out. I always install F-Droid but never bothered with extra repos. I guess I’ll need to add that to my setup playbook because I’m gonna need Neo on everything now :).
It’d be kind of nice if I could run Ansible on an Android device. Full root backups aren’t quite the same thing since I really want to apply the settings to multiple devices, not just splat a disk image on top of things.
Its an additional repository (source) for apps. You can add extra repositories in F-Droid settings.
…or rather than waiting for apps to become available on F-Droid, download from Github etc & use Obtainium to let you know when app updates become available
I tried Neo Launcher a couple of rimes in the last week specifically for the Neo Feed add on (like Google feed but user defined RSS instead of Google). Neo Feed is excellent but unfortunately Neo Launcher doesn’t allow a scrolling dock, which ive used for years with Nova Launcher.
Anyone know of an open source launcher with an option to have a scrolling dock? Bonus points if its compatible with Neo Feed!
Phew, blast from the past here. I used to have a whole thing with Mutt + offlineimap + a custom Python script for procmail-like filtering (I feel very old right now). It had to go away because, at the time, offlineimap broke MS Exchange. Something about there being a global limit for custom headers. Fixed now of course but Mutt/oimap never made a return after that.
The thing about not-much mail, unless it’s changed, is that it’s a CLI program on a single machine. A hypothetical mail app would need a protocol to ask the server to perform a search. Otherwise you’re downloading your entire mail account (or at least the search index) to every device. I was kind of hoping Fastmail’s JMAP would solve this somehow but I don’t think it does.

For a launcher, I’ve been using Neo Launcher (which is on IzzyOnDroid). It’s not as feature full as Nova but it’s pretty similar in spirit and style

I’ve been using FairEmail (Android only) and everything just works, including search.
Regarding mail: Have a look at “not much”. It’s main selling point is a searchable inbox. Mutt is also popular, albeit somewhat archaic looking.
