Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android (nice & modern UI/UX)
UI = User Interface
UX = User eXperience
Most open source apps offer out-dated or classic material design UI. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your android device !
Apps are listed in alphabetical order !
Also look at : The ultimate F-Droid setup for more open source android apps.
and Beautiful Open Source Apps for iOS for your iOS device
DISCLAIMERS
Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app.
While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
I again encourage you to do your own research about them and read their Privacy Policies.
I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !

Strict criteria ensure the tools prioritize user welfare and software quality:
Opensource Preference: Prioritizing transparent and community-driven software.
Cross-Platform Availability: Emphasizing tools usable across multiple systems.
Active Development and Security Updates: Selecting only actively maintained tools with regular security enhancements.
Proven Track Record: Requiring a history of reliability and positive feedback.
GrapheneOS Starterpack
A list of apps I use on GrapheneOS, but most also make sense on other operating systems.
Install "F-Droid Basic" and Obtainium, add a few repos to F-Droid by searching for "F-Droid known repositories"

Comments and Reviews
Best free and open source keyboard on Android with gesture typing (swipe typing). Easy to use and settings are easy to understand.
Two gestures are very helpful. First, on the backspace key, swipe left to select text, then release the key to delete everything you selected. The farther you swipe, the more text gets deleted. If you go too far, you can move your finger to the right to select less text before releasing the key.
Second, swiping left/right on the spacebar moves the cursor left/right in the text field.
Great keyboard and keymaping is perfect now just waiting for auto suggestions
Auto suggestions are missing
It's really needing autosuggest implementation! Now to make it excellent , better glide (word accuracy and lang support beyond Eng), and this is going to be the Gboard killer.
Edit: project is rarely updated so I take back my 'Gboard killer' opinion. Tbh I don't think any app gets near Gboard, especially if you regularly use more than 1 language. Will sadly go back to it
It has many features like GBoard, but is open source and values your privacy.
Open source good keyboard. The only minus, and the minus, why i deleted this keyboard, is glide typing. It's very useful while walking and not being able to touch accurately or just typing, but in this keyboard this feature isn't working well and in other languages than English it doesn't work at all.
What keyboard did you switch to?
