I'm kind of new to android. F-droid is kind of hard to navigate. some apps doesn't load their thumbnails and some doesn't even have them at all. It's hard to decide which ones are good other than how recent It's updated.

What I need atm:

Music player
Writing / Note taking
Diary app
VPN?
Maps
Messenger app
Social media / Fediverse frontends (if it exists)
Peertube client (to upload and manage videos)
Reminders / To do list app

You can recommend me any android apps that might be useful.

For Writing / Note taking I can recommend Markor, which also has a Todo list function.

A good and lightweight Diary / Journal app that I use frequently is Diary.

Both apps are being actively developed.

Hey @[email protected], One more thing. I'm planning to install lineageos first before using your guide, is that alright?

PS: You should host your guide in github or similar for easy access and to make it readable.

Totally fine to install LOS. And I am planning something else.
