Second blog on my ten year #SailfishOS journey so far
https://www.rubdos.be/2026/04/17/my-sailfish-os-journey-apps.html
This second part goes into #apps, and what Sailfish OS looks like in practice for myself. Did I miss an app? What's your favourite Sailfish OS app?

@rubdos
Thanks for the writeup and all the app tips! I've also used Sailfish as my main phone OS for over ten years (and N9 before that). I use much fewer apps than you do and learned a lot from your post. The Firefox news sounds great! -

@doubleubee Still rocking my Pebble as well, and will cover in two posts from now! @abranson and I both have the new Pebbles on pre-order

The regional transport apps are really underrated. BeRail by @dylanvanassche still works more or less, although he's been on PMOS for years now!

@rubdos
Nothing major I guess... I use SailOTP for one time password generation, GPSInfo to wake up my GPS in case I want to use location in Android apps, and some really basic apps like Messages, Notes and Calculator. Oh, and SailTuner for tuning musical instruments! -

My piano is digital already, so no real need for tuning. Cool app though!

@rubdos thank you for the fantastic article. A very good preparation for delivery of the new Jolla phone (batch 3 🥳

@wuppi Glad to be of help! I've always found the public facing information a bit difficult to find, so I hope that maybe this will make things easier to discover by the time the Jolla Phone is there!

@rubdos @doubleubee @dylanvanassche Might be a new Rockpool brewing right now...

@ilpianista Ohh, Fuoten looks cool! I'm not a KDE person, and I I'm not really printing all that much, but those are cool as well! ShakeTorch sounds great, but I don't have a camera driver, and thus no flash haha

@rubdos It's far from perfect, but I'm on it. I'm also still waiting for the Harbour review

@ilpianista Jolla might be a bit busy atm ;'-)

@rubdos I don't use Plasma either, but once you've tried kdeconnect, it's hard to switch to anything else. I start the daemon manually when I need it.

@rubdos Indeed!

@rubdos @doubleubee @abranson Glad BeRail still works
Only possible thanks to #iRail!More or less: seems like there are some things that don't work? Just curious
I don't have any #SailfishOS devices anymore but happy to accept patches -
