Android and open source are closely intertwined. In fact, most open source fans also use Android. Coincidence? I think no.
A good Android thing is that Google Play Store has a lot of open source software. That does not mean that each open source title is worth its time and effort, but there are many Foss applications that not only are worth their time, but also some of the best class.
In addition: I updated Android 16 – this is what I love and what is still missing
I want to present some of my favorite Android source applications, all of which are available on Google Play Store. Being in this store is important since I am not a big fan of lateral load applications.
I know there are many applications available outside Google Play Store, but knowing if those applications can be trusted in a little shadow on them. Due to that problem, I recommend applications available from the official location.

That said, let me present the open source android applications that use regularly.
1. Bitwarden
Of all password administrators in the market, Bitwarden It is (with much) the best. The Open Source application not only, but also includes all the characteristics that a password administrator may need, use the leading encryption in the industry, allows you to share vault entries safely with others, including authentication of two factors (so you do not have to depend on another application to generate the time -based code), it has an excellent user interface, it is easy to use and the equipment behind the application of the application for the application for the application for the application.
The Android version of Bitwarden can also be used to fill automatically, so it touches a login field and bitwarden the password for you. Bitwarden also has one of the best random password generators that I have used, with many customizations and the option to use a phrase of passes. Bitwarden can be used for free, or you can update to an account paid to obtain more functions.
Get more information through Bitwarden Price/Function Matrix.
2. Valient
Brave It almost always appears as one of the safest browsers in the market. This chrome -based browser is like Chrome, but with more security and privacy. Brave has an incorporated AI tool (called Leo) that you can access rapidly from the brave three -point menu in the lower right corner. Leo allows you to chat as a regular AI tool and can even summarize the websites for you.
Also: 5 Android browsers who are better than Chrome (and why I prefer them)
Brave includes a built -in VPN that can enable or disable in the same menu that accesses Leo. However, Brave includes some cryptography bits that always disagree. I also disable the brave wallet and rewards.
An additional feature that I appreciate in Brave is the Widget of Privacy Statistics on the home page that keeps it updated on how many traigators and ads are blocked. Brave is a large (and free) browser that improves chrome but looks and behaves very similarly.
3. Wavelet
If you use wireless headphones with your Android device, you owe yourself to use yourself Wavelet. This free open source application includes several pre -established sound profiles for thousands of headphones. These profiles mean that you do not have to modify the EQ to obtain the best sound of its headphones.
Also: how to use a VPN on Linux and why you should
Wavelet includes Autoeq, a graphic equalizer, a limiter and channel balance. Essentially, you start listening to music through your headphones, open wavelet, enables Autoeq, touches Selfeq, writes the headphones model, touches the entrance to matching and enjoys music exactly how it should be heard through those particular headphones.
You can also increase the EQ by enabling the graphic equalizer and then selecting a curve that coincides with your liking. If you want to make the most of your wireless headphones, consider that this free and open source application is essential.
4. Tor Browser
If you want serious privacy, you should use Tor browser. Tor Browser is undoubtedly the safer and most private browser in the market. Although Tor is not the easiest browser on the market to use, safety and privacy characteristics are worth it.
However, it is also important to keep in mind that all this privacy and security have a cost: speed. The safety layers used by the average pages of the Tor browser may not load so fast. That problem means that you can only use the Tor browser for sites that require you to send or see confidential information. Anyway, this free and open source browser must be on your Android device.
5. Kde Connect
Kde Connect It allows you to connect to Linux devices on your network and share clipboard content, files, url and even notifications. If your choice desk is KDE Plasma, the application is pre -installed, which makes it very easy to connect the application on your phone with the application on your desk or laptop.
Also: How to connect Android to the Linux desktop with KDE Connect
With this mobile application, you can even run commands on your Linux devices. If you do not use the KDE plasma as your desktop, you can use the GNOME GSCONNECT (a desktop application) to make the connection between your desktop and the Android device (using Kde Connect). Kde Connect is free to install and use.
6. Protonvpn
If you need a VPN of the entire system (instead of a limited to a web browser), try Protonvpn. This VPN service offers a blockade of trackers, highly safe servers, was created by the CERN scientists themselves that developed Proton Mail, offers safe, private, encrypted and unlimited access and even unlocking access to websites and popular platforms.
It can be connected to servers in more than 110 countries, which can be very convenient when it needs to change to another location (if the one who is using does not work correctly). ProtonvPN offers a free account, but is limited to one device at a time, average VPN speed, and can only connect to servers in five countries (which are randomly selected).

If you want more application explosion, you can pay $ 2.99/month to obtain the highest VPN speeds, an option of more than 13,000 servers, advertisement/tracker/malware block and more.
