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.

Are you thinking of a mobile app or something else, like fully separate hardware you'd carry around? Sounds interesting

No I am just thinking of an App. The Apps which exist (as far as I have found them, if there are better apps I would be glad for recommendations) are either:

  • "fitness/running" trackers
  • unmaintained
  • still use the Google location service
  • use a self hosted server to store your data
  • don't have a built in map viewer to see your history
