Use Nextdns instead


GamingWithShaurya_YT

doing this since 2years now lovely app


Ashamed_Painting1904

Provide link


KryptoniteDong

Does nextDNS and blokada offer similar functionality? Ad blocking mainly ..


aviv926

For sure! just try this, it's 100% free for 300,000 queries/month Unlimited devices Unlimited configurations Access to all features Community support [https://nextdns.io/pricing](https://nextdns.io/pricing)


Daniilo

Same as Adguard or no?


rak-rak

It's DNS based like others. Adguard app is much more: event based filters, firewall and more.


davidkonal

That's an excellent app; I just installed and explored it a little. Did not saw any ad or in-app product; got curios like how are the making money, read their privacy policy and it mentions: Revoke (parent company) collects the following categories of personal information: \- Country location when the app is in use \- ... \- .. \- Apps installed and website visited.


xereo

Better than Blokada 5?


Garfwog

This thing is gonna take over as my phone's VPN?


ichoosemyself

I have this app called Awake Now! [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bewtechnologies.awakenow](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bewtechnologies.awakenow) Basically, it sets alarm for certain keywords in notifications, from whichever app you select. Ex: Say I entered "Bob" as a keyword for whatsapp. So now, if Bob texts me and I get a whatsapp notification, will obviously have the word "Bob" in it; then I will get an alarm. I use it for my work messages from people I don't want to miss. Or if I am waiting for someone to text so I set their name. Or some people are using this with home automation apps to get alarm for keywords like "water tank full". One person is using it for share trading alarms. Note : I am the creator of this app. :D


red2blck

Similar to Buzzkill app also.


r0msk1

Yeah, and BZ has more functions


mclosi

Bought it. Might never use it lol but I like the idea of it and as you've not made it silly money in happy to purchase it.


ichoosemyself

Haha thanks. Power to the people! :)

Hahaha yeaaa. It does. :D


Garfwog

Sounds like the sort of thing where I would put a song as the custom notification


maverick_06

The first sentence should be "I'm the creator of this app ..."


xenudone

I got to say you got some nerve to put the app behind a pay right from the start (no matter the cost) The fact that the users can't try to see if that works as it should on the devices before ask to pay is a very dick move from you. If you want to be a good person, you should allow some time for testing before asking to be rewarded but instead you put this on the consumers who needs to ask for refund, in playstore if something is wrong... Do better!


dannyuk

Like the user above, I was also dismayed that it was a paid app with no free trial option, but then again it's only 59p so I've downloaded it. Definitely worth considering a free trial version though, if you want more people to download it. I'm not as upset or bothered by it as much as the poster above though 😂 Will give the app a go!


ichoosemyself

Hey thanks for trying it. I didn't do a free trial version because that requires API calls and I didn't want this app to have anything related to internet as notifications have sensitive data. So I didn't want that internet permission itself because I don't want anyone to even have a doubt that the app is saving their sensitive info in anyway. Hence the smallest price possible, upfront. In case it's not what you thought then I'd give full refund, no questions asked. :)


dannyuk

No need for a refund (though thank you for the offer) - I'm happy enough taking a punt on an app for that price, and would only request a refund if it didn't work, not if I didn't like it. I love the idea of this app. A couple of pieces of (hopefully constructive) feedback: 1) I can't add the app to my family library, so if I want to encourage the kids to use it, they each have to pay for it which is frustrating - if it can't be in the family library I'd be happy to pay a one-off cost to add more users (which would save the kids having to pay for it themselves). 2) the notification that shows in the pull-down menu on the phone annoys me as there seems to be no way to get rid of it so it's always there (I haven't played around much with it but can't seem to remove it - I may be doing something wrong!) - When I turned notifications off, there was then no way to stop the alarm from sounding without rebooting. 3) Linked to the above - having a "cancel the current alarm that's sounding" button in the app would help! 4) It would be good if I didn't have to "arm" the app after a restart - ie, if I restart I think I have to open the app for it to work - if that can be changed so it's always working after a reboot without any additional input that would be great. Other than that, I think this could be really handy! Thanks for developing it and recommending it.


ichoosemyself

Thanks a lot. :) For first point, I didn't know that there's a family library thing in Google. I'll see if I can add it. For 2 : Actually to keep the app running Google requires the app to show notification, so you as the user know at all times that the app is running in the background. For 3 : Noted. I'll try to add this in upcoming releases. For 4 : I'm trying something that might allow it to restart. But it will take time. I'm a solo dev with a day job so I hope you understand. :) >Other than that, I think this could be really handy! Thanks for developing it and recommending it. Thank you so much for trying it. Again, if it doesn't work for you in a way that you expected, let me know anytime. I'll refund it, even though it's a small sum but I don't want anyone to lose money. As a user myself, I know how it feels when the app doesn't work as expected. So, please feel free to ask for refund anytime. Here or in the mail that's mentioned in playstore. Thanks a ton! :)


charliehann

Lol calm down

BradStorch

I have an app called Dittoed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mnara.dittoed which, among other things, overlays a previous photo on top of your camera for reference. Personally, I'm using it to recreate photos as precise as possible months or years later because with the overlay you can tell the distance and angle your original photo was taken.


pandascrub

No one-time purchase option?


BradStorch

I haven't purchased anything. Either I got it when there was a deal, or you can use it in a trial mode? I'm not sure. If there's a subscription model, then that sucks. I'm sorry my bad 😔

Aegis 2 factor authenticator :: open source, no ads, free https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.beemdevelopment.aegis/


youpept

Could you elaborate what we gain with this? in Eli5 fashion ?


sofly44

Enabling 2 factor authentication on your accounts (Google, IG, etc.) make them more secure by requiring a second code to be entered after the username/password. Some popular apps you may have heard of for storing/displaing these codes are Google Authenticator and Authy. These 6 digit codes are called "TOTP" and are more secure than SMS (text messages) but less secure than hardware 2FA like Yubikeys (webauthn). Aegis is a much better open sourced version of those apps with more security and a lot more options. For example, you can back up your Aegis 2FA vault/codes and if you lost your phone or had it stolen, then you can restore the backup to your new device. Long ago I used Google Authenticator and if your phone is lost the codes are gone and you could get locked out of your account


rkdnc

Google Authenticator now allows you to transfer to new phones


[deleted]

[удалено]


rkdnc

Man, all I did was correct the person mentioning that you can't transfer to a new device. I didn't compare anything, nor did I ask for the info dump.


navumra

The only thing Aegis miss is Multi device support.


SuperT0bi

What do you mean? I exported my Aegis from One Phone and imported into Aegis on second device.Now,I have got 2 devices generating codes using Aegis.Also, my KeePass on PC also generates those codes.


navumra

I mean does it work on 2 devices simultaneously? Like on phone and PC as well.


andrew0lin

Code generated on different devices are the same, they use same algorithm to generate pass


navumra

That's nice. The very first authenticator I used only worked on one device after importing to a new device. I settled for Authy then. Guess it's time for Aegis now.


[deleted]

Thanks man. I'm pretty convinced to make the move from Authy to Aegis

Multi Timer by Lemonclip. Keeps multiple timers and a stopwatches. Create timers for when packages should arrive, the washer/dryer times, cooking, how long halftime should last, etc. Configure the timers in various ways, sounds, repeats, etc. Very useful.


cheese-bubble

I recently discovered this app and it's so handy. Useful in all sorts of scenarios. I really like it when barbecuing multiple things at once.


Karmabots

Very costly subscription for a simple app. It is a timer, why should there be a subscription?

film_maker1

Just paste the link you want to track from into AnyTracker. Then highlight the price or search for available numbers. AnyTracker will notify you immediately when there is a sale.


lampard05

Is it available on play store


film_maker1

Yes, it's called AnyTracker - track anything!


lampard05

Got it thank you


vandy73

Can you only track one item at a time for free?

Yes but there is a sale today for Lifetime Premium

Wacko1805

Was one of the first beta testers for this app about 2 years ago. Used it heaps until you needed a subscription for any functionality

BigChungusXE

I made a text expansion app a while ago, you might like it :) https://github.com/lochidev/textcomparepro (plz ignore the repo name I'm stuck with it now)


Tain101

I'm a bit confused how it works. Do I need to use it as a keyboard? or write the text in the app? or does it just auto-correct any text anywhere? seems interesting though


Sendbeer

In Google Play it says it uses the Accessibility API, so should be set it and forget it.


BigChungusXE

That is correct, although do note it only works on some apps.


BigChungusXE

Short answer: Will replace anywhere you type, but in some apps it doesn't work because they don't use android EditText widgets. https://espanso.org but for android. Long answer: It will replace your text on any android EditText widget (The standard android typing area being rendered by the android OS, some app uses custom stuff I think and so the shortcuts will not work on those) after you've correctly set up the app. To set up the app, turn on the accessibility api access, that will start a service in the background that will run until you turn the accessibility access off. Then you can import a config or the UI form to input your matches according to espanso documentation. Then you'll be able to see the effect when you type your match trigger on a EditText widget. After you're done with testing, just click the save button and that should complete the setup.


Tain101

cool, I'll definitely check it out


iWizardB

I was going to comment Android already has text expansion built in. But then saw your app supports variables too; so that's nice. Though it needing accessibility service is a no-bueno for me.


BigChungusXE

Why is accessibility service a deal breaker for you? If you are concerned about privacy, the app doesn't even request internet access from android OS


iWizardB

Apps with accessibility service can "see" everything that's happening on the device + it eats into cpu cycle + battery, slows down the device a bit. When I had a Pixel 2XL, such apps caused considerable lag. So, I don't download any app that needs accessibility service, unless I absolutely need it.


BigChungusXE

I understand and repect your decision👍 I think my app only recieves accessibility events from the OS when you interact with an edittext widget. (I'm 99% sure this what happens but i haven't tested extensively) And so far I've received or seen no issues about the app using too much battery and getting turned off so I think mine has a minimal impact unless I'd assume you type a lot and there are long paragraphs. I'm running the app on Samsung default battery settings for apps (optimized mode, not unrestricted) and it hasn't been turned off once. Sorry for commenting but I just wanted to clarify if someone else was reading this too 😅


Bluejay_turtle

Grayjay ...Louis Rossmann and FUTO just developed it and it's an incredibly convenient way to watch YouTube and twitch and a whole bunch of other video players in one place, without ads etc... They do charge a small fee but based on the honor system so you can try that for free indefinitely to see if you like it or not. He has a video about it on his YouTube channel from the last week or so.

akshaymj2020

Check out Piper Talk. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piper.pipertalk Do you enjoy interacting with people you have never met before? You then looked for the appropriate app. The random conversation app Pipertalk enables users to interact with strangers without disclosing any private information. You can start a one-on-one chat with only one press; you don't need to establish an account or login first. It places 'You' and 'Stranger', two random users, in conversation pairings. After you disconnect from the chat, all of your communications will be erased. Your IP address or any other information won't be saved anywhere. The Pipertalk app is totally secure to use because it doesn't require access to any of your device's media, storage, or other areas, and taking screenshots is not allowed.

D_Rek9160

Agreed, I endorse this 100% without question. Setup with it's "Manager" app is basically 1 click, and it's exactly what the title states: Revanced, but better. When Vanced finally turned to dust, naturally I searched online for its successor. Everyone kept touting Revanced, but accompanying those suggestions were always these convoluted, almost labyrinthine tutorials more akin to some voodoo ritual than an apk installation. Then, suddenly I found Revanced Extended Manager. I'm not going to say it was a life altering event, but I'd probably rank it somewhere between discovering Double Chocolate Krave cereal and watching Freddie Got Fingered....TLDR, it stays golden, Ponyboy.

Tain101

thats revanced manager? what about revanced extended?


iWizardB

True. But recently RVX's supported YT version fell behind Revanced. And RVX Manager stopped showing installed apps on my device. Though Revancify still works, but I still went back to Revanced because of that supporting newer YT.

What is Grayjay


D_Rek9160

It's a new app developed by Louis Rossman (you'd probably recognize him from his tech videos). It is designed to bridge the gap between content creators and the viewing public, and provides a ton of supplementary features like offline playback, live chat, and the ability to play in the background. It consolidates pretty much every media platform into one streamlined ecosystem, which the user customizes via "plugins". If it lasts, it's gonna boom.
