They charge for the mobile app. I believe it is a one-time fee of $8. It’s a really fair value in my opinion. They even upgraded to 2.0 and let everyone so so for free. No regrets on my end supporting them.
Regarding photos, which app do you use as gallery? Because as we can see in app store that app (apple) records a lot of data about photos.
As alternative I'm using cryptomator. I created a folder in which I move every singles photos from native photos app and manage it through native files app (records few data unlike photos app), but as you can imagine it's not so handy
Honestly, I’ve been stuck on Apple Photos, but turned on ADP (Advanced Data Protection). ente.io is the only other option I found somewhat adequate, but I haven’t pulled the trigger to switch to it just yet. I guess I should add that to my list!
Do you have any specific info on what Apple records in regards to the photos app? Would love to read more.
Nope, just based on what Apple indicates in their privacy reports within App Store. For instance, they link these data for each identity: contacts, identifiers and user content.
Yes, ente.io it's an option. I test it, and works well but it's not what I essentially need: an offline gallery app, security and privacy oriented. Would be great :)
I never use GIMP actively but i think GIMP is more focused un image edition, more like Photoshop.
Darktable is focused in processing RAW image files (and probaly even more things), applying color profiles, filters, retouching the RAW data, etc.
Because i never edit images i don't use GIMP (also due that i don't really learned how to use it). But i use Darktable to process my RAW photos taken from a camera, it just enhances the photos, with color correction, filters and other settings.
It is just different. GIMP is a general image editor. Darktable is for developing, retouching, and organizing photos. GIMP does a lot of things that Darktable doesn't. But for processing RAW photos, adjusting light, color, contrast, removing spots, it is much easier to do with Darktable.
aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source command-line download utility. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. aria2 can be manipulated via built-in JSON-RPC and XML-RPC interfaces.
I have neck issues and emulating my phone on screen is a must! I cant get enough of 'guiscrcpy' Open source Android screen mirroring! Multiple phone support, works perfect! https://guiscrcpy.srev.in/
I can't say for sure because most of my apps are FOSS, and they are all really good.
I'm a KDE user so I really like KDE apps, KMail and NeoChat allows me to connect with people while being integrated into the rest of the system. I also like SoulSeek, a p2p file sharing app useful for downloading music.
hmm... i'm on macOS, so I had to go through my apps to see which are FOSS, as it's not always clear. More than I thought, so I'll list some of my favorites:
Pulsar (a fork of the discontinued Atom) - a text and code editor
Cyberduck - my favorite FTP client since forever
Handbrake - swiss army knife for video encoding/transcoding
OverSight - makes sure my webcam stays off when it should
LuLu - watches my ports and incoming/outgoing connections
KnockKnock - guards against processes (malware) trying to gain access to system services and resources surreptitiously
Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseerr - a suite of media and download management applications for Plex Media Servers
Transmission - a simple yet powerful bittorrent client
Homebrew - a complete and extensible package manager for macOS, much like apt or rpm
For iOS:
Fully FOSS:
FOSS, but with a paid tier:
Paid Only, but Open Source:
Privacy Friendly, but not FOSS apps:
Edit: Added ente Photos, Mullvad, IVPN, Tutanota, Standard Notes, Notesnook, and Berty
What about using cryptomator on ios requires paying? I’ve only used it on osx before which I believe was free.

Starred this reply, thank you!
Great list, thank you!

What do you mean for ADP regarding Apple photos?
Nope, just based on what Apple indicates in their privacy reports within App Store. For instance, they link these data for each identity: contacts, identifiers and user content.

Just mentioning the tools I had not seen on other posts:
Selfhosting
Android
For me would be on Android:
Seal: for downloading any video, specialty YouTube
ViMusic: For listening to music from YouTube
Paisa: for budget control
Read You: best RSS I had seen on Android
Xtra: Twitch client without the ads
Quacker: For following Twitter accounts without creating and actual account or interacting with them t all.
Most of them are on F-Droid and they use material design.
Let me know if you want direct links. And Droid-ify is the best F-Droid store client out there
Wow, ViMusic is surprisingly pretty for a FOSS app. Seal isn't bad looking either.
I hate finding an app which is functionally great but completely hideous.
Darktable is a great photo editor (similar to Lightroom).
What benefits does it over GIMP? I've honestly never heard of it before

Likewise I have horrible posture from studying. How have I never even heard of android mirroring?! I'll try out guiscrcpy, many thanks
Other than already mentioned, I use daily:
Might have to give Fair Email a shot. I use AquaMail now, and it's about the only non-foss app I use.

Have you considered Kodi or Jellyfin? They're more private alternatives to Plex
Nah, i really like Plex
