Hey everyone, I’m going insane due to a lack of creative project. I’ve written an app already but I haven’t gotten around to publishing it yet. I’d like to know what kind of apps you’d like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I’d love to hear your ideas nevertheless.
Odysee would be great.

Flare, the gtk Signal app, needs to get to near feature parity with the mobile app. When it does, I’m all in!
Here’s a very niche problem: On Android, I use an alarm clock that you can only turn off by scanning a QR code. Such an app doesn’t exist on mobile linux.
that is indeed niche… what time do you need to be up to resort to this, and what time do you go to sleep?
@tetris11 I usually go to bed at 11-12 and get up around 8-9. It’s just that my subconscious mind has learnt how to turn off the alarm before I even know I’m awake.
I used to oversleep without ever remembering that I turned off the alarm.
I have the same problem. Lately I’ve been using an smartwatch vibration alarm and I’ve always woke up. Maybe its a solution for you too.
Oh wow. Are you in your early 20s? I think it’s something you might just grow out of if that helps.
@tetris11 I’m 32 😅
oh my dude !
I’m 40 and have the same problem…
Yeah my life is probably not the best baseline for this. I come from a family of heavy sleepers with generations of not being affected by caffeine

@Lofenyy not so much apps but infrastructure pieces.
- Better video camera support would be great (Dino would be awesome on Linux phone!).
- A bit more integration with UnifiedPush. I’m looking at Firefox, Thunderbird and chat apps.
- More streamlined solution for map navigation - it’s janky atm.
- OSKs (on-screen keyboard) can be temperamental. Lets see when we will get text-input protocol v4 for Wayland 😄A good mobile friendly GTK nextcloud talk app. I love nextcloud and I love my pinephone but having to use the browser is a massive pain.
What phones or such are y’all using for such a positive experience?
Had pinephone at the start of last year and it was most miserable time I had with a phone in years.For me personally, xdrip+.
Can’t switch to a Linux phone unless I can measure my blood glucose :(
IMHO we are a long way off from that being a good idea even if the app existed. I may make jokes about it but I would be terrified if my brother switched to a linux phone with his diabetes. There are just to many other issues ATM.
@Lofenyy do you have a list where I can check this?
Because I’m not sure of what apps are available, I haven’t switched yet
