DISCLAIMERS :
Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it !
Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them.
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 !

Comments and Reviews
I like OpenScan as it is the one FOSS app in a world of propriety document scanners. Whilst it is fairly simplistic, it just works. It easy to turn multiple photos into one PDF file that you can easily share using the built in Android share feature. The only downside of it is that it hasn't been updated since 2021 which is sad to see for such a good app.
Easy to operate, gets the job done
It's simple, light, fast, open-source, free, don't have ads, it's privacy focused and does the job.
It's not as good as the other applications found on the market but it is very good.
Best open source app alternative .
