Nice. Notesnook is great for sync between pc and phone, but I don't know the others. Thanks!

Is there a graphene option for is broke folk? I'd love to move away from android but it only works on phones I can't afford.

[–] HeadfullofSoup@kbin.earth 1 points 1 month ago

I guess pixel 9a would be the best choice or a supported older model

Would it be better to replace Gemini with a local model run through ollama or something?

Any iOS alternative to Google Tasks?

[–] lopar49@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

This really could use some clarification on what category these belong to. Most of these projects are open source projects where you can either self-host the tool, or choose from one of many free or paid instances online. If someone lacks the technical skill, hardware, or time to self-host, they should shop around. Often there is an "official" instance by the developers, but that's not always the best option. Sometimes a paid option with more resources is going to be more stable and performant.

Other suggestions are individual companies services, and a couple of these are just applications you install on your device. It would be helpful to readers to clarify.

Someone please help me find a browser that has the Chromium gestures.

I want o be able to pull the URL bar down to go into the tab selection screen and pull the page down to refresh, and all the Firefox based browsers are so different it drives me crazy and I go back to chrome or brave.
