Very good list with github links! To gather all of them and be alerted for updates, use Obtainium (also OSS) https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

Yeah, that seems nice. I still prefer to do a manual update, but seems cool.

The combo of DAVx5 and Nextcloud is ridiculously powerful. My calendars, contacts, notes, and tasks (eg, grocery checklists) are all synced to my nextcloud instance and seamlessly work in place of Google-owned services

Yes, it's basically most of the things you need.
CalDAV for Calendar and events, CardDAV for contacts, and WebDAV for files. All in your own server. DAVx5 gives you all of them.
Basically what Google and other big tech companies offer you, but you have full control of this.
If you want something simpler than Nextcloud, Radicale is a great simple Free and Open-Source CalDAV and CardDAV Server

Or just use a StartOS node and let it be orchestrated nicely! 😁

StartOS (formerly Ylmf OS) is a discontinued Chinese Linux distribution
That one?

What? Not at all! 😂 I wouldn't trust Wikipedia for a second...
https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os (and it's now MIT open source licensed!)
https://start9.com/ (if you're interested in looking at their devices - I think they're currently sold out but you can get more info in their TG channel if you're curious)

And you can find every app on this list on https://f-droid.org and https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/ repo
I would recommend every app on fdroid well, as all apps are open source.

The lightning wallets are not in f-droid though.
And sometimes there are different versions available in there vs the git repo, specially FairEmail

Nice.
I also quite like Book Reader, specially their handling of text in PDFs is fantastic (it makes text readable automatically, instead of having to zoom in)

Nice list, I will suggest few additions:
Keyboard: OpenBoard (FOSS, no internet connection), auto-fill and suggestions working fine, only missing the glide typing, not implemented, not sure if they ever will. For me, hard to choose, I swap between both, but the corrector and the suggestions in some occasions can make your typing more efficient. Hopefully Florisboard will implement properly the suggestion and autocorrect soon. BTW, the gliding feature in Florisboard only work in English at the moment, which is a pity. You can find it in F-Droid.
Map: "Organic Maps" is great, although, IMO, there is not an app I have tested better than "Magic Earth", FOSS and available in F-Droid, as good as Waze with offline maps if needed. Available as well in F-Droid

Magic Earth is not open source, and it's also not in f-droid.
Do you have a link to the source code?
Also, it's only available from App Stores, no apk available.

It has been a while since I check, was surprised by your reply, went to check and you are right, not opensource, based on Openstreetmaps... Oh well..., time to do some research and reconsider, not in F-Droid neither and you well stated. Thanks for keeping me straight, highly appreciate it!

Another app that I think is great is openScale.
Open-source weight and body metrics tracker, with support for Bluetooth scales
You can also use it inputting your weight manually, so a Bluetooth scale is not a requirement.

Great list. A few more I personally enjoy using:
  • OpenTracks, a privacy-preserving sports tracker (to pair with OSMDashboard to view your running sessions on maps (from OSM).
  • Trail-Sense for when you go hiking (features a lot of tools).
  • ViMusic to stream music from YouTube Music for free, and with one of the best UI I've seen in music players.

Nice additions, thanks.
OpenTracks support of non-GPS activities caught my attention, since RunnerUp always requires GPS.
