Which LLM model are you?

Thanks a lot! You are not the first person here asking about a version outside Google Play, so it is clearly something to look at once the Android launch is out the door. If it happens I will make some noise about it in this community.

Fair, that is the unfortunate truth with closed source. I completely understand where you are coming from, it is honestly the same skepticism that drove me to build Una in the first place. That is why the encryption keys are created and stored on your own device and the sync traffic only carries encrypted content. But I do get you! I will be sure to have you in mind if we open source the Android and iOS versions.

I can't help because I don't use Google Play, but it sounds like a nice app, good luck with it! It would be great to see it on F-Droid or Accrescent one day.

However, noone can inspect the source code and see if encryption is implemented properly, or at all.

Fair, and honestly that is the right instinct, you should not have to trust me. That is kind of the point of the design: the encryption key is created on your own device and stays in the device keyring. It never touches our server, so there is nothing to trust me with, I could not read your household data even if I wanted to. Details here: https://unafamily.app/privacy

Ah yes, the trust me bro security model.

No worries at all, thanks for giving it a look anyway. If I ever ship a build that works without Play services I will definitely post about it here. Best of luck with the Graphene setup!

Not right now, it is closed source. The privacy side is built on end to end encryption instead: household content is encrypted on your device before it syncs, so we technically see nothing even though the code is closed. If you want the details: https://unafamily.app/privacy. Totally understand if open source is a must have for you, and thanks for signing up either way!

Signed up, is the app open source?

Ahh, very sorry. I don't use play services or any apps that rely on it on my phone(I run Graphene). If you ever decide to offer an android app that doesn't depend on it, I'll definitely try it out.

Best of luck on your roll out!

Welcome aboard! The invite mail is on its way to you now. One thing to check: the opt in link needs you to be logged in to Google Play with the same email you signed up with, otherwise the test page shows nothing. If you need to use another mail, one that is signed in on your phone, just give me a shout here or add it on unafamily.app :) Let me know if it works!

Done. Looking forward to giving it a shot.

Unfortunately past that point I'm entirely spitballing.

I know that tasker should be able to set and delete alarms through some built in functionality it has to interface with Android "stuff". I think it should also be able to do web requests? It has a fairly complex scripting language for custom automations once you get past what you can do with the low/no code stuff it has, and it at least used to have a pretty strong community sharing their stuff.

In theory, I'd try to see if Tasker could query calendar events directly from your calendar app. If that can't be done next I'd see if your davx server exposes an API to query info about calendar events (use that to get the start time of the earliest event), and backup for that would be to see if you could automate downloading say the next day's events as a file and get the earliest timed one by parsing that file (deleting the file when done).

Sorry, not meaning to send you on a wild goose chase or anything. I'm deep in the realm of investigating what might be possible to script/automate for work, so that's where my mind is at.

Just installed tasker, I think I'll go that route. Do you perhaps have any clue how I could go about doing this?

PSA: the community has moved over to the Comaps fork, due to concerns about the ownership of the organic maps brand among other things.

unfortunately no, but i'd imagine basically anything is better than the built-in hardware in phones.

Any specific recommendations for an external gps receiver?

Most of my outdoor stuff is in Australia. I found an app years ago called "Australia Topo Maps" which had a one time payment for the ability to use offline maps.

I've tried many others, and keep coming back to this one.

Despite the name, I can cache any OSM topo map anywhere in the world. They also have a suite of country-specific apps, which likely just have different options for map sources.

I used CoMaps very well when i hiked in Spain and parts of Scandinavia, I am surprised how well hiking oaths or just paths in general are marked. it has a nice mix of what an good app should be and the feeling of having a paper map.

I follow the color signs on the tree trunks... Yeah I dont go hiking much lol

I'm a noob, so there's that, but I use Organic Maps, which is basic and does offline driving, too.

I've never seen the point of all these apps; the only 3 i think are worth caring about is comaps, osmand (both of these basically do the same thing), and especially trailsense if you don't mind something which is more of a toolbox than a navigation app.

But really the important thing is having a phone with as good GPS hardware as possible, ideally you'd bring a proper separate GPS reciever that can plug into the phone. Modern GPS can be so good that you'll get at least a rough position even in forests, and when you have your position everything else becomes relatively trivial.

OruxMaps is the best I've ever found (and it's free). Been using it for nearly 15 years, still getting updated. Extremely flexible and powerful, though navigating the app itself sometimes feels kind of obtuse.

OpenAndroMaps for getting nice maps to use with it.

I have CoMaps and OsmAnd~ installed. The "~" is important, it's the the f-droid version that has most of the paid features for free.

The one I use most though is c:geo, it's actually designed for a game called geocaching, but its offline maps are simple and work really well.
