Android Stack

Updated 16 Aug 2019

After a 6-year hiatus, I'm back on Android. It's a free, super low-power phone. Let's see how it goes.

Looking For #

  1. Simple widget for homescreen that just says the estimated remaining battery time.
  2. Better private keyboard.

Launcher Evie Launcher #

Switched from Apex Launcher. The search was much needed and it feels lighter and faster.

Keyboard: Fleksy #

WAY better prediction system, good GIF support, AND all your typing stays local == PRIVACY.

Previously: AnySoftKeyboard - Open-source for safety! Bad recommendations and GIF search.

Messaging: Signal #

Having trouble with group MMS but I like Signal a lot. I wish Telegram could be my default though (no SMS support).

Browser: DuckDuckGo #

The privacy and the search are great. Where are the new tab bookmarks from the iPhone version?!

Podcasts: Podcast Republic #

This app is a godsend. It has episode search and a "Mark All Previous As Read" option which is just -chef's kiss-. It's much quicker in the podcast lookup too. I'm a huge fan.
