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?

I tap the microphone icon on my keyboard.

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

Simplex and signal
Interstellar_1@pawb.social · 2 pts · 2y
What does simple x do better than signal?
iiGxC@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 2y
Idk all the details, the difference is probably negligible for most people tho

Warpinator also works on phones.

What is that?

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