As in title, preferably open-source, but doesn’t have to, I will start:

KOReader - Amazing reader app, and being able to use the same app across various devices, even non-android ones, is pure bliss. Japanese support is pretty good too, which makes me happy. Though… Sadly no vertical text support :c

Syncthing-fork - Being able to keep a library of books, and some files, and easily keep the shared folder across various devices, is mega comfy. Tachiyomi - Cute manga reader.

NewPipe - Really pleasant youtube client, that i sometimes use to listen to things in the background.

Kaku - An useful Japanese OCR app, that works… quite decently for when I encounter kanji that I do not recognize, and is not text.

EinkBro - A web browser, that on e-ink devices, is quite comfy. Has few… quirks, but works well on e-ink

    My problem with Voyager is that it’s a web app. It’s extremely laggy/unresponsive and the keyboard doesn’t work. Firefox doesn’t play nice with web apps and I refuse to use any other mobile browser cause I need UBlock Origin and NoScript.

      I’ve been using it with Firefox and haven’t had any issues with lag or speed on a regular pixel 6. I’m curious what issues you’ve had or if you’ve used the most recent versions?

      I’m typing this from the new sync, because it’s more familiar to me and I prefer it’s ui.

        1. It’s very laggy and unresponsive. Have to tap on things multiple times to get them to work.

        2. The keyboard won’t come up. It pops up for a few milliseconds then immediately disappears.

        I have a Z Fold 3 so I don’t think the phone is the issue. Regardless, I’m using Sync too now.

      I’ve been using Voyager as a web app on Firefox since I left Reddit in the blackouts and had zero issues with it. I’ve only moved over to Sync today because it’s the app I used for Reddit
