Introducing MobilOhm
My apps needed a Ohm
MobilOhm is a collection / suite of apps to slip away from the GAFAM stranglehold.
What
A collection of apps without bloat or ads.
- Dolores, A workout timer to gloat over your stats, drenched in sweat on the seaside
- Papiers, A note-taking app that syncs in the cloud and does’nt phone home doing so
- Todora, A laundry / shopping list just because (will sync too, soon)
- Pétrolette, A news page that is basically your home on the internet, to inform your way around the rampant censorship
- And there’s way more where that comes from :)
You can install and run (yes, offline too) each - well, most - of those apps both on your Desktop(s) and you phone(s) that’s the idea. They use the RemoteStorage protocol, and you can even host your own instance.
RemoteStorage
- Documentation
- Review your current apps and authorizations
- Acces your data online
How
If you find any of the MobilOhm apps helpful, and would like to support its development, consider making a contribution through Ko-fi or Liberapay.
Your support helps keep those apps Free, Libre, Open Source, and ad-free.
Why
Aren’t there a ton of similar stuff in the app stores?
Short answer? No ; Take Dolores for instance, I dare you to find a streamlined, maintained, ad-free app that can do half of what it does. Viewed from here and now the “Google Play Store” (silly British comedic voice, read on) is a steaming heap of bloated, buggy and ad-ridden malware. Yeah I’m exaggerating a tiny bit but that’s what I do and you probably know what I mean.
3 apps in 3 weeks
I know, right?
App Stores
Yes, of course the apps will be available in at least one store ; I hear one has to pay to see their free apps on the Google repulsively named Play Store, so that’s for the birds - and talk about bad company - but yeah, F-Droid, soon. Thing is, I can’t even install it on my Android 9 phone 🤨
For now use your fairy dust to install & upgrade the apps, me I just plug the phone into my rig and use a file manager. Yeah, I said I know!
