Since simple mobile tools will soon become a spyware and I use 3 of their apps regularly, yesterday I installed F-Droid after reading many Lemmy recommendations.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised.

A new app I've tested is Spotube (Spotify open source alternative; edit: apparently it uses Spotify metadata but it streams from YouTube. My bad.).

Any other underrated app y'all recommend?

Can you elucidate more on «Simple mobile tools will soon become a spyware.» I use a few of their apps available on F-Droid.

For Spotify, you can try ViMusic.

Looks bad for privacy.... 😞

Thanks. That appears to be quite an unfortunate turn of events. I just deleted and replaced the apps w/ alternatives I already have in my personal list.

Any recommendation on alternative for notes? Preferably something where I can import backup from Simple Notes?

There's a new maintainer, search for FossifyX on GitHub. They plan to keep supporting the open-source versions of all the Simple Mobile Tools apps.

[–] RTRedreovic@feddit.ch 1 points 11 months ago

I am not sure if it supports importing from Simple Notes specifically but I use Notesnook. Needs an account however.

An Israeli firm bought them.
