Ads, malware, and other junk get blocked at the DNS level on Android, using several widely-respected host files in the default setup. DNSNet does it by turning Android's VPN service API into a local filter that checks each request's hostname, and it carries DNS66's goals forward.

Want to know when Ray-Ban Meta and other smart glasses are nearby? Nearby Glasses scans Bluetooth LE advertisements for known manufacturer identifiers and warns you when a matching device is detected.

Independent Telgram client with a completely different interface, this is an alternative Telegram client built with Flutter and TDLib, connecting to your existing account across five platforms. It brings custom messaging UI, interactive checklists, animated stickers, voice messages, polls, and stories into one client, for all devices.

Turn your browser history and local files into a searchable personal knowledge base. Hister indexes full content, then lets you search it from the web, terminal, CLI, or an AI assistant through MCP.

Turn an Android phone into a real multi-window workstation, with native app windows, terminals, Linux apps, and independent desktops across multiple displays. It can even expose the same workspace to scrcpy and programmable automation.

92 browser tools, a 65-tool Windows workbench, and CLI/MCP automation bring everyday file work into one system. Process PDFs, media, images, documents, and developer tasks locally instead of bouncing between separate websites and desktop utilities.

Most data monitors quietly drain your battery from the background service alone. This one was built after the developer's own speed meter stopped working, and a published benchmark puts its idle draw at a fraction of the old one.

Wanna hide your files from your family? Most vault apps hide behind a lock icon that gives the game away immediately. This one runs as a fully working calculator, and only unlocks the vault when you type a specific numeric sequence and hit equals.

CapCut's editor comes wrapped in a watermark, a paywall, and a subscription. Concat rebuilds the same cutting, local AI captioning, and effects workflow on a native Rust engine, with nothing locked behind a login or a price tag.

Most Android readers pick a lane: manga extensions or novel files, rarely both. DropSauce runs LNReader JS plugins and Mihon/Tsundoku APK extensions side by side, then lets you drop in your own EPUBs for offline novels in the same library.

Gmail and similar email services typically maintain the primary copy of your emails on their servers. In contrast, Fastmail’s new data center in Amsterdam keeps the main copy of your emails on hardware it entirely owns. It’s still supported by US resiliency for now and provides a quick, ad-free inbox with authentic customer service.

Copying between devices on different networks usually means routing through someone else's cloud clipboard first. UniClipboard connects two devices directly, falling back to an encrypted relay only when a direct path isn't possible, so text, images, and files move peer-to-peer instead of through a middleman.

Downloads and app media tend to scatter across separate folders with no way to reclaim order except by hand. FilePipe replaces that with rule-based pipes, set a filter once and a schedule moves matching files to their rightful place automatically.

Most Spotify clients on Linux mean an Electron shell wrapping the web player. This one runs on egui and librespot instead, giving your whole library a native window and Spotify Connect without a browser underneath.

Finding a web tool that just works without an email wall usually means wading through a dozen "free" apps that demand an account on step two. This directory indexes over 200 browser-based tools across nine categories, filtered down to only what's in-browser, source-available, and account-free from the start.

Open banking apps and other locked-down software often refuse to run, or quietly disable themselves, the moment they detect developer options, an active ADB connection or a running accessibility service. This app applies a per-app settings profile before launch, then reverts everything the instant you're done, using Shizuku or a one-time ADB grant instead of root.

Running the official Bitwarden server is fine until it's eating resources a small box shouldn't have to spare. This reimplements the same Client API in Rust, staying fully compatible with official Bitwarden clients on every platform.

Premium password management usually starts around $3 to $5 a month if you want 2FA reports and encrypted file storage. But the Bitwarden Premium tier is only $1.65/mo, and the server code ships alongside the clients, so self-hosting or auditing the backend is supported, not just the apps.
