A series of small apps, mostly made for me, because I either missed these functions or didn’t like how the available ones worked or looked. Eleven now, ten of them on OpenRepos. Every app name is in Latin, because the first one was fiat lux, let there be light, and the rest kept the verb: fiat plus one noun.
Out now
fiat vox (let there be voice), a chromatic tuner. OpenRepos can also be found in Chum and Jolla Store
fiat agenda (let there be doing), a clean task list that can add events to the calendar. It asks for calendar and privileged access, which the reminders and calendar function need. If there is interest in a version without either, let me know.
EDIT: now syncs with Nextcloud Tasks. Lists (Nextcloud Pantry) are moving to fiat penus, below. OpenRepos OpenRepos
fiat margo (let there be edge), adds to a picture what an ambience will later slice off, so it looks the way you expect. A WYSIWYG for ambience pictures; it doesn’t create ambiences, just the picture. OpenRepos
fiat glossa (let there be tongue), a DeepL translator. It needs your own DeepL API key (the free tier works), and text goes from your phone to DeepL and nowhere else. OpenRepos
fiat pons (let there be bridge), a native Qobuz client. OpenRepos
fiat cor (let there be heart), a metronome. OpenRepos
fiat lux (let there be light), a light meter for film photography. OpenRepos
fiat mos (let there be habit), a habit tracker, and the one I use every day. Good habits maketh the man It has grown into a reading tracker as well: a shelf of what you’ve read, look up a book by its ISBN for title, author, pages and cover, and per-book progress and pace. You choose which lookup services may be asked, and nothing is sent until you press Look up. OpenRepos
fiat imago (let there be image), a RAW editor and photo developer. It opens the RAW files RAWfish saves (RAW8, RAW10, RAW12, RAW16) and ordinary JPEGs, with a live preview. Exposure, tone curves, colour mixer, crop and perspective, ten looks, and a JPEG export that is exactly what you saw. Non-destructive: the original is never touched. GitHub
fiat ratio (let there be reckoning), a budget tool and personal finance app. A month that runs from one salary to the next, recurring costs planned ahead, and savings, a home and loans added up to one net worth. Everything stays on the phone. English, Swedish, German and Russian. OpenRepos
fiat penus (let there be provisions), the whole of Nextcloud Pantry: lists, the notes wall and the photo board, shared with your household. It also works on its own, with a household on the phone that needs no account at all. Test build on GitHub, OpenRepos as soon as it opens again, Jolla Store on its way.
All but the newest are on OpenRepos. The code is on GitHub, and the links are on each OpenRepos page. Bugs and requests are best as GitHub issues, but a reply here is fine too.
For anyone wondering: AI was used. I mainly work with databases at work. I know some Java, Python is used for analysis there, and I’ve been writing web pages for 24 years So I take help from Claude. I made these for me, and publishing them is my way of saying thanks, in case someone else needs them too
Actually… I have Fiat 500. Dunno where ppl get the idea that’s always broken and not reliable. Mine’s been fine for 2,5 years and have not needed repairs.. Only the oil change and such periodic maintenance stuff. So far I have no bad say abt Fiat.. Earlier was toyota which also was OK, nothing to nag about.. -Over 25 characters-
Updated the first post: the family is now nine apps instead of four, and fiat mos 1.2 is out on OpenRepos. It lets you log and fix yesterday, has library statistics (a shelf, a page per kind and per book), and can look up a book by its ISBN from the services you choose. It also asks for one new permission, Internet, used only for Look up.
Love Imago! it’s brilliant, just two requests, right now you do edits, then you can export the image after editing, otherwise the edits are persistent but not reflected in the thumbnail, or applied to the original photo. Which makes sense but would love to have the edits recorded so even the images in gallery etc are updated with edits.
The other thing, possible to save edits and have then as profiles to quickly edit, or even as a default profile?
Well, edits on pictures are saved in the fiat imago gallery, and exported images are shown kn sailfish gallery app. Settigs can be copied, but I gues saving and applying presets also makes sense
I understand, the entire concept in the ‘about’ section goes against what I want, so I guess it’s a different philosophy.
I don’t want to have to export every image as part of the workflow, it’s also duplicating each image then, and leaving (I guess) the original somewhere. I don’t care about the original being sacrosanct, it’s just a step to the end image which is the only thing I want to keep really, but if there’s an option for a RAW/metadata combo kept somewhere that’s fine too.
Ideally I’d take a photo, apply a profile, crop, and that’s it. I don’t even want a save dialogue etc, just a ‘reset’ if needed, but otherwise edits that are not reset are saved and reflected in the gallery etc.
Otherwise the work-flow is to edit, export, have a second folder full of exports, all of which are showing up with the originals in attach dialogues.
Also at the moment I guess Imago reads from the Gallery folder? If RawFish is set to save images to the memory card they don’t show up.
Well, I don’t think I understand the full process or something, things submitted over a month ago still don’t show up, neither on chum nor harbour. Also, some apps don’t build for 32-bit and another part is that I use nemo and other things that, if I understand correctly, are not valid for harbour.
If someone could help guide mer for Chum I’d appreciate it, cause even though apps build and seeeeem fine, nothing’s happening and I don’t know wether something is missing
Yeah, I don’t really have understanding what it takes from dev to push apps to Harbour, it just is nicer to get apps there so wider audience can enjoy them
I can of course increase the scope of which pictures can be found, the main idea was to exclude already edited…
perhaaaaaaaps I could prompt the user on first start up, to decide if they want destructive editing or not. I do understand the use case.
If I’m not mistaken the ios editing makes the user choose between destructive editing or save a new one when you exit the editor. But I guess they hide some steps, like keeping hidden copies if user wants to go back and so on. But it quickly adds up on a memory card.
I will think carefully before I change the approach. Anyhow, thanks for the feedback!
