What are the "app dock" apps on your phone? Are they FOSS? (reddthat.com)

Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS..

@drew_belloc @noodlejetski I don't have a dock either. I do have a favourites row though, and currently these are the pinned apps (arranged in no particular order):

  1. Calls by #GNOME & #Purism

  2. Chats (#Chatty) by Purism & GNOME - supports #SMS, #Matrix, #XMPP

  3. Contacts by GNOME

  4. #Firefox web browser by #Mozilla

  5. #SignalMessenger

  6. GNOME Settings

  7. #Phosh Mobile Settings

  8. Tweaks by #postmarketOS

  9. #Tuba (client for #Mastodon / #Fediverse)

  10. #Kasts by #KDE

  11. #DeltaChat ( #openstandards-based, #securityaudited, fast #e2ee chats over bloody #email!)

  12. Files / #Nautilus by GNOME

All #FreeSoftware /Libre, #OpenSource #FOSS / #FLOSS : )

Note: The home screen and the app drawer / search / overview is all one and the same.

The image shows a Librem 5 Linux smartphone home screen with a dark background featuring a starry space theme. At the top, there is a status bar displaying the time as 2:39 PM, 4G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth turned off, and a battery level of 84%. Below the status bar, there is a search bar with the text "Search apps..." in gray. The home screen is organised into a grid of app icons. The 1st row includes a green phone icon, a green messaging icon, a blue book icon with "@" symbol, and a Firefox browser icon. The 2nd row features a blue Signal Messenger icon, a gear settings icon, a smartphone icon with toggle switches, The 3rd row features a tuba musical instrument icon, a radio tower broadcast icon, a chat bubble icon with a "d" which looks like and upside down and inverted "g" (opposite of #Google?), and a blue file drawer icon. The 4th row includes an audio player icon, a timing lock icon, a lion face Brave browser icon, and a calculator icon. The 5th row shows a calendar icon, a camera icon, a camera under construction icon, and a carburetor icon. The 6th row includes a clocks icon, a terminal icon, a headphones over book (audiobook) icon, and a dinosaur icon. The 7th row features a pie chart icon, a wrench over hard disk icon, a document with eyeglasses icon, and a green circular icon with a white swirl. Provided by @altbot, edited. Missed by altbot: The bottom of the starry space-themed wallpaper shows the top of a Mars-like sandy planet.

Cool, i think i just got used to scroll for my apps, i normally know where they are so is a seamless experiance for me, but i like options like those, i just don't put anything on my dock because i like to have a clean home screen, both on my phone and on my desktop
