  • I am going on trips with Anytype as well. Worked fantastically for my last two week-long trips. Relatively quickly, you can prepare on your PC an itinerary with files such as boarding passes, tickets, both as a normal file and embedded images to show at gates and similar. You can copy-paste e-mails, information from the web, links (URLs, etc. with additional context). Prepare for your travels, tick off things to do before leaving for your trip as well as creating tasks (as reminders, though without an actual reminder in your notification bar on mobile. You have to check the app for them.) to do before each day on the trip. All of this can be dumped into a single “page”, or organized into a hierarchical structure annotated by tags, relations between the objects and more.

    To put it simply, I always find something missing in various itinerary apps. Anytype gives me the freedom to input every and all type of information I need for and during the trip.

    Slight warning: If you input the files on PC, you need to them click on them (download them to your local storage) in the mobile as well. Then you can access them without requiring connection to the internet from your mobile later on. If you do this, everything you put in your Anytype itinerary will be accessible offline. Ideally, try accessing everything on mobile when your Wi-Fi and data connections are turned off.


  • Aegis is so great especially because it allows you to set an automatic backup every time you add a new TOTP. This way, a backup is made immediately after modifying the MFA vault, stored in your phone storage, where it can be grabbed by your synchronization system of choice (e.g., Syncthing), replicating the backup on your other devices, for example. This way, you can rest assured you will always have your MFA vault no matter what.







  • That is example that looking for new apps part I mentioned. I know there are FOSS Android video and proto editors. I just never needed any of them, so I don’t know which one is better or worse, but I know there are a few I have heard about in recent years. I know I have seen several contacts and dialler apps on F-Droid. Time to check them out one by one and hopefully one will fit the needs with minimal concessions. Others in this post have already mentioned some apps. See if they might work for you, too. I wish you best of luck looking for the right apps for you.



  • I think it is worth mentioning that there is an alternative for each one of Simple Mobile Tools apps. It will just mean we have to spend some time looking for such apps yet again. We as users of FOSS software must be always prepared to move from one application to another. This is why walled gardens, export to / import from open standard formats and in general easy replaceability of FOSS SW is important. This is just a sad fact about using FOSS where FOSS maintainers are just normal people, with all their needs, faults, and weaknesses.
