Title says it all. I’ll go first:

I don’t really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

    I’m using Aves Libre as my gallery app in my phone, i really like it, works pretty well and looks pretty clean. It can classify the media by the apps (It need to access to the app list to do this). To watch some videos i use Libretube, but it’s a shame that (i think) there’s no invidious related apps in android. And the maps that i use are from OpenStreetMaps, OsmAnd in my phone. Works pretty well despite not using google services that it is pretty good in my opinion. I also use it to add some notes or interest points and then back phone contribute with that i wrote.

        Thanks to you i started using this one. Imo Invidious Instances work better than the Piped ones, and this apps is like a game changer to me. Really like it

      Ohhh, thanks for mentioning Aves Libre, been looking for a map-feature like that for a long time! UI ks kinda weird though and displaying of photos is really slow in my device. I also can’t find a setting for the anonymous data collection they mention in the TOS. Do you happen to know where I can enable/disable that?

      Check out OrganicMaps if you ever have problems with Osmand (which I also use and love).

      I feel like either Newpipe or LibreTube can use the Invidious api but not sure …

        I was using F-stop previously for the map feature and the ability to add descriptions to the photos (I love having notes on the photos but hate being locked into a specific app like Google Photos).

        Aves has a much nicer UI and can edit the geotag information, too. Glad I found this.

            F-Stop adds an XMP tag imbedded into the image file. I’m going to assume Aves does the same but I haven’t used it much yet to know.

            I would love to be able to find an image service (like PhotoPrism) I can run on my server that can read the tags that I like to use (Date/time, geo location, title/descriptions, and faces). I want that info in the image file itself so that I can easily switch to another service if needed.

            I’m still trying to find a way to make back-up copies of the original and then tag/organize photos to be used with a self-hosted viewer, whatever it may be.
