SD Maid 2/SE - System Cleaner
APK
SD Maid 2/SE is your Android’s trusted assistant, to keep it clean and tidy. Nobody is perfect and neither is Android. * Apps you have already removed leave something behind. * Logs, crash reports and other files you don't want are constantly being created. * Your storage is collecting files and folders you don't recognize. * Duplicate photos in your gallery. Let’s not go on here… Let SD Maid 2/SE help you! SD Maid 2/SE is an app and file manager that knows which apps created files on your device. It compares files with installed apps to help you safely free up storage space. ✨ Clean up after uninstalling apps If apps create files outside their designated folders then files can remain even after uninstalling the apps. The "CorpseFinder" tool finds app remnants, tells you to which app they belonged and helps you delete them. 🔍 Search your device the smart way Filter for empty folders, temporary files, already installed apps and more. You can even create your own search criteria. The "SystemCleaner" tool automatically searches and deletes files based on various criteria. 🧹 Delete expendable files and hidden caches Thumbnails, trash bins, offline caches and more: If apps don't clean up after themselves, then this app will. The "AppCleaner" tool finds apps with expendable files. 📦 Manage all of your apps Get a comprehensive list of all apps installed on your device. Enabled, disabled, user or system app: no app can hide from you. The "AppControl" tool is an app manager that lets you search, sort and control your apps. 📊 What is using all your space Storage management can be complex with apps, media, system, and other files across device storage, SD cards, and USB devices. "StorageAnalyzer" is a file manager that displays how space is used on your device, simplifying your storage management. 📷 Find duplicate data Duplicate downloads, photos sent through social media or just similar pictures of the same scene: Over time copies can accumulate. The "Deduplicator" tool finds files that are exactly the same or similar and helps you delete extra copies. 👆 Declutter with a swipe Pick a folder and go through files one by one with simple swipes to keep, delete, or skip. The "Swiper" tool lets you review all decisions before anything is deleted, and you can save a session to continue later. 🗜️ Save space without deleting photos Photos can take up a lot of storage, but you don't always want to remove them. The "Media Squeeze" tool compresses your images with adjustable quality settings to free up space while keeping your pictures. This app is ad-free. Some features require a paid upgrade. SD Maid 2/SE is the successor to SD Maid 1/Legacy. Optimized for newer Android versions and focused on cleaning up. This app has optional features that utilize the AccessibilityService API to automate tedious actions. Using the AccessibilityService API, this app can click buttons for you to perform operations on multiple apps, e.g. deleting caches. This app does not use the AccessibilityService API to collect information. SD Maid 2/SE is a File Manager & Cleaner App.

Share via HTTP
APK
N.B The app doesn't make an entry in the app list: only the share menu. Share files from your phone to one or many, quickly and easily. Just share the item via the Share Menu and a mini web server will be started allowing others to download the file. If there are multiple files a zip archive will be created on the fly. If https://f-droid.org/packages/com.google.zxing.client.android is installed a QR code can be produced with the URL. It will only work if the recipient is on the same LAN if you use WiFI but should work anywhere if you use GSM (2G/3G), though more slowly. The server can be stopped at any time from the screen that shows the URL (press the back button if you're on the barcode).

Sweet IPFS
APK
Sweet IPFS is forked from https://f-droid.org/packages/org.ligi.ipfsdroid, which was experimental. This app is currently in beta stage, not all features are implemented, but the most important is. Feel free to test it and review it. If you find a bug or have problems with this app, you can contact me with the email provided on the GitHub page. Sweet IPFS targets end-users and developers in order to make IPFS (and decentralization) an everyday standard. Its main goal is to be used as a file sharing app. For that, it provides a file chooser, QR codes, and a browser. To go even faster, you can upload a file or a text directly from any app by simply sharing it and choosing Sweet IPFS. At the current point, battery and network usage depends a lot on your phone and your Android version, and may be high. I am working on this in order to provide the best experience and an everyday usage.
