Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use 😃

Android FOSS alternatives to proprietary apps

Google Board -> FlorisBoard
Google Play -> Aurora Store^[1]^
Termius -> ConnectBot^[2]^
Discord -> Element
Xiaomi Fit -> Gadget Bridge^[3]^
Google Gmail -> K-9 Mail

Google Authenticator -> Mauth
Google News -> Nextcloud News^[4]^
Google Drive -> Nextcloud^[4]^
Google Keep -> Nextcloud Notes^[4]^

^1^- You need a Google account.
^2^ - The UX is not as good as Termius.
^3^ - The UI looks like garbage, but does it's job.
^4^ - You need to selfhost a server.

it's a desktop program, while most of the solution OP has posted are Android exclusive.

This looks like exactly what I want if it had an android app.

Check out Audile on F-Droid.

I actually found it two days ago. Seems to work really well. Thanks!
