    Syncthing.

    Amazing that you could sync your android phone’s data to a PC locally. No cloud drive needed.

      Briar and Futo Voice sound cool.

      How do you trigger Futo Voice?

    Cherrytree. It’s a hierarchical list-making application which you can easily use to organise your entire existence in a single encrypted file.

    F-Droid

    It’s a FOSS app store for Android. Contains many privacy apps.

    F-Droid website

    (I usually assume everyone on Lemmy already knows about it)

    In the case of “app”, for what platform?

    I mean, virtually all of the software in the Linux distribution that I use is privacy-friendly in that it doesn’t send data about me elsewhere.

      Any platform, the question is purposefully broad

        It’s a device to make phone calls, but that’s not important right now.
