Briar and Futo Voice sound cool.

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)

What does simple x do better than signal?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Idk all the details, the difference is probably negligible for most people tho

Warpinator also works on phones.

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