Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative? (programming.dev)

I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

I think it has more to do with preference than hate. For me particularly, I don't care much about how things are stored. I just make sure to exporr/backup regularly, and if anything breaks, it's an easy and mostly painless fix.

I tried Obsidian once, and while I did like it and the UI is light years ahead of Joplin, I guess I'm just used to the Joplin experience, so I saw no need to switch.
