I thought this was an easy one, but turns out it is not.

I use Total Launcher, and don't have an "app dock".

• Super Productivity
• SchildiChat Next
• Open Camera (installed due to this post! replacing the default samsung camera app)
• Fennec
• SimpleX
• Fossify Phone

here are my 4 non-Foss apps, out of 27 total on dock (yes on the dock, using folders)

• 🚫nordvpn

• 🚫obsidian (sync disabled)

• 🚫@voice aloud tts

• 🚫MS Swiftkey settings (true privacy threat i know, but Asian lang. support is essential & it runs w/o internet perm., w/o play services, and kept in incognito.)

• ❓Phone
• ❌Beeper (Messenger)
• ✔️ IronFox (Browser)
• ✔️Aves (Photos)
• ✔️OpenCamera

• ❌ Phone - com.samsung.android.dialer
• ❌ Messages - com.google.android.apps.messaging (Samsung)
• ❌ Chrome - com.android.chrome
• ❌ Camera - com.sec.android.app.camera (Samsung)

The thing is, I keep them there as a "last resort", not as main use.

• IronFox (web browser)

• Fossify Caller app

• QUIK (SMS)

• Molly (Signal)

• Libretube (YouTube)

• Thunder (Lemmy).

Oops, all FOSS! :)

The only proprietary apps that see regular use on my phone are my banking app and Spotify.

Using KISS launcher as my home launcher in minimal mode.

App dock has:

• AOSP Android Dialer (I think), whatever grapheneOS ships
• Molly-FOSS (Signal app)
• Thunder for Lemmy
• IronFox hardened Firefox fork
• Logseq Personal Knowledge Management (PKM)

• Firefox ✅
• SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
• WhatsApp ❌
• stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
• OpenCamera ✅

3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.

Well as I don't have a dock in Niagara Pro I just go on with the apps I pinned:

Telephone, standard dailer from android : ✔️

WhatsApp, eeeeh: ❌ ❌ ❌

Discord: ❌

Firefox: ✔️

Proton Mail: well not FOSS (at least the paid tiers) but OSS

Proton Calendar: same thing

Jerboa: ✔️

Tusky: ✔️

Grayjay: I guess yeah to both (with license) ✔️

M.A.L.P: check and check ✔️

Well - Kind of.

• Snapchat (not FOSS at all afaik)
• Aliucord (Modded client for Discord, at least partially open source)
• Summit (FOSS)
• Signal (FOSS, I think)

I don't have an app dock, so... zero for both?

Default telephone, messages, settings, mixplorer, firefox

I don't have a fixed bottom row.

I've got maximum two pages. Folder Cover mode is much more efficient. (I hope for an immersive (full screen) mode some day)

90% foss of all apps.

What's not foss? banking, gov broadcasters, arte, ard, zdf, german train app, magic earth, ebay, dict.cc, car sharing,

Yep, all except for two: Crumpet and our Bank app. We can be pretty sure of this as we run CalyxOS and we have too many apps to list otherwise as everything on our 'dock' is in folders.

Phone, messengers/SMS, settings, browsers, and photo/video tools, in that order. Probably mostly because that's the default location and where I'm used to them being.

• Phone app, which is com.Android.dialer that seems kind of (F)OSS at least(?)
• Contacts app, same as phone app: com.android.contacts
• Telegram client Forkgram which is partly OSS but contains unfree stuff upstream + relies completely on non-free service (telegram server +client)
• Email: K9/thunderbird android full FOSS
• Browser: Iceraven which is a fork of Firefox Android. It comes with the MPL (Mozilla public license) but I think it also contains non-free binaries or assets, so mostly FOSS I would say?

Phone (proprietary); Beeper (partial-FOSS); DuckDuckGo (FOSS?); Mlem (FOSS)

I put all my apps on my home screen and I keep all non-FOSS apps in a single folder as a reminder to find replacements. The vast majority of my apps are FOSS at this point.

@lemmydividebyzero
They are Fossify Phone, Fossify Voice Recorder, Fossify Camera, Fossify File Manager and Settings. So, 80% FOSS!
