How do you use Android for productivity? - eviltoast

Past Discussions:

For the last couple of weeks, it was all fun and games. This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work.

I’m boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that’s as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs.

But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I’m interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.

    Thanks, I found K9 on F-droid. I used that years ago, no clue why I switched…

    Now to find a foss alternative for Business Calendar that works on Android 13. Calendar specific notification sounds are great, but not when they are played hours after the scheduled item.

      Simple calendar. Maybe put it in your work profile (shelter app?) If you want to disable alarms manually

      Try Calengoo, it can do events as well as tasks in the same app. It’s extremely configurable and supports lots of calendar sources. Has a desktop app too. Not FOSS though. Decent FOSS calendar apps are a bit thin on the ground.
