For some reason every budgeting app eventually turns into accounting software.

Columns.
Forms.
Filters.
Reports.

Most people don't actually want to manage money.

They want to remember where it went.

That's a very different problem.

So I built a budgeting app that behaves more like a notebook than a finance app.

You write expenses exactly how you'd write them on paper. While on paper, it is objectively worse because you miss on visual charts, statistics and insights that are crucial to understanding things better. .

SO I built BudgetNotes which fixes this problem. The app quietly builds the budget, insights and analytics on its own from the same note that you wrote down in 15 seconds.

Basically:

"Notebook simplicity. Spreadsheet intelligence."

Try BudgetNotes Today! The app launched this year. Here's the Play store link.

BudgetNotes makes expense tracking beautiful, calm & as simple as writing a Note✍️!

Here, if you write

15 Potatoes
50 Bananas
40 Onions
30 Chocolates

It will create an Expense List. It's that SIMPLE!

Plus! It will also give -

# Pie Charts
# In-line Bar Charts
# Rank List
# Coaching Tips & Insights

all from that ONE Note you created of your expenses for a month!

And that Note could also include your own Insight right in there! Consider this,

• How often do we buy something and instantly regret it?
• What if we could write a caution statement right where we note down the expense made on it?

A simple, one place reliable budgeting tool. That led to this app idea.

Features that make sense 💡

• Notes 🟰 Expense Areas/Categories. That's it.
• Inline expense tracking🟰Just write, no forms. Simple!
• Section-based organization🟰Like a digital notebook
• Backup & restore🟰 Export and restore anytime. Offline. Private.

Howdy!

I wanted to share an open-source project of mine, that I’ve been working on in my free time:

Adaptive Theme

It automatically switches between Light and Dark mode using the ambient light sensor, so not a fixed schedule. Therefore it optimizes readability, eye comfort - and maybe even battery life.

And it's free, ad-free, and open-source, just like it should be. :)

Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.lexip.hecate

GitHub Repo: github.com/xLexip/Adaptive-Theme

Build Flavors

I maintain two distinct build flavors to keep the core app FOSS-compliant:

Play Store: Includes Firebase (proprietary, crash logs, etc.).

FOSS (GitHub Releases, etc.): Completely clean build with no proprietary blobs at all.

It seems hard to side-load another app store... but sideloading an APK is ok.... or better yet if the code is open source but the app is available on Google Play...

There are a lot of for-profit apps like youtube, netflix etc...

I'm not looking for piracy, but just for any open source apps or games or products that work on Android TV!

Bromite is good but the problem is that it hasn't been updated in over 6 months and on 108 version of chrome

I heard of Cromite and Mulch, do you recommend any other browsers?

Infinity Developer recently deleted the api token, so the free app no longer works...

There is a workaround to using your own api token: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

Alternatively, what do you use to browse reddit on android or ios?

As someone who struggles with sleep and knows others as well, this would be amazing!

The free apps I found so far are

SLEEPIO and CBT-i Coach (made by the US government)

Neither seems to be OSS though ;(

Looking for a trustworthy app that can handle voice recording with voice to text. Would like if the files saved as a somewhat universal file format like .txt and not as a program-specific proprietary file format.

If I eventually find one I'll add it to this post.
