Why spend on pricey apps when open source does the job for free? Here are 5 open source apps I use daily without paying a dime. Are you tired of paying thousands for apps and services? Don’t worry, today I am going to tell you about five of my favourite open-source apps that I use daily. These apps are completely free to use, but keep in mind that some of them are only available for Android. Give them a try, and you might just find your new go-to apps without spending a dime.

Are you tired of paying thousands for apps and services? Don't worry, today I am going to tell you about five of my favourite open-source apps that I use daily.

Joplin is a really good notetaking app that comes with a simple interface and is available on all major platforms. It lets you sync the notes across platforms and the best part is that you can import your notes from Evernote to Joplin.
It saves your notes locally on the device and also lets you sync with Joplin Cloud, Nextcloud, OneDrive and Dropbox. The interface is clean and easy to use, but can be highly customised with plugins and themes.
I love to read news from my favourite websites first thing in the morning, but opening all the websites one by one is tedious. To read all the latest posts, I use ReadYou. It is an open-source app available only for Android, featuring a clean and simple interface.
It uses the Material You design and has zero distractions between you and your feed. You can create custom feeds for different topics, and it can send you notifications when a new article is published. It can parse full content, so there is no need to open a browser to read the entire story. Apple users can use NetNewsWire, an open-source app available for iOS and macOS.
I am an Android user but use a MacBook as my work laptop, and sharing files between these two devices can be frustrating. LocalSend is a lifesaver in this situation. I can share files across my Android and MacBook easily without using wires, even for large video files.
The LocalSend app is available on all platforms and is very simple to use. There are no ads on either the phone or desktop versions. You can share not only files but also text from the clipboard, text messages, and even entire folders.
Changing passwords frequently is a good practice to keep your accounts safe. But I cannot remember new passwords for hundreds of websites, so I use Bitwarden. It is an open-source app that is completely free to use. If you are a basic user, the free version is perfect and will always remain free. It offers unlimited devices and passkey management.
AdAway is hands down the best ad blocker for Android users like me. It's completely free and open source, which I love. The app works by updating your device's hosts file to block ads system-wide, not just in browsers but across all apps. If your phone is rooted, it's even easier to set up, and the results are fantastic.
