Does anyone know of a Foss image editor where you can add this effect, to simulate depth of field/bokeh?

I found this old app in fdroid that has the right idea but its not maintained and doesn't work properly;

The Medito app is a (unsurprisingly) meditation/mindfulness app. Sort of the free software alternative to Headspace.
I haven't used it in a long time and was curious to see how it was doing, but I saw this:

  • it's only available on IzzyOnDroid now, I believe it used to be on F-droid at some point (edit: it wasn't)
  • the available release is 2 years old

So I thought, maybe the app was sadly just archived, but no, it's actually still under development, it's just that no releases have been published on GitHub for 2 years (2.0.48 clearly titled "Deprecated"), instead the Play Store releases keep being pushed out as recently as 3 February 2025 (3.2.0).
Oh and the issues tab has been disabled, which seems very shady to me.
So I wonder what the heck went down with this excellent app, it may still be considered "free software", also featuring the best licence (AGPL), but it looks like it has become unfriendly towards the community, I wonder why

been looking for more useful apps so figured I'd ask.

Preferably something that doesn't require login or registration. An online app would work too, I suppose.

Found Translate You for text translation, but it uses online services. Is there any offline app for that?

Sayboard allows offline speech to text translation. It's quite cool.
It supports English and seems useful.
Was looking to see if there are models for Malayalam and other languages.

Saw a Malayalam vosk GMM model in gitlab. Tho, it can't be imported. It seems to need a chain training model.

Does anyone know any resources on that?
Or any other app that can do it?

Or is there some way using Termux or so?

It allows to launch exported activities from various apps and helps to create useful shortcuts

2 examples where I find it to be quite useful:
1. Quick Record shortcut for Audio Recorder

It currently does not have a quick recording shortcut.
Audio Recorder Gitlab issue where a user requests the feature. Maybe attention from someone here would be helpful?

You can directy search for the app in Activity manager, open it and create a a shortcut for the Recording activity.

2. Shortcut to open Android/data folder in the native Files app

Context for the folder location I use hereFor Android 11 & onwards, you can't access the Android/data folder(without root) from regular file manager apps like Material files(awesome opensource file manager).
The Telegram X app stores it's downloaded files in a folder there.
Material files calls the native Android Files(not GFiles, documentsui.files) app to open the Android/data folder.
Activity manager can be used to create a shortcut for that

  1. Search for and open the Files app in Activity Manager and choose the Launch with parameters option for the FilesActivity
  2. Action, choose ACTION_VIEW
  3. Data = content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3AAndroid%2Fdata%2Forg.thunderdog.challegram%2Ffiles%2Fdocuments or any other directory you like
  4. Mime type, choose vnd.android.document/directory

You can then launch the activity with the parameter.
This will be recorded in History(the clock sign). You can long-press the entry and create a Shortcut.


Do you have any other cases or ideas where this would be usedul? Please do share them here.


On a tangent, Material files allows making shortcuts to files and folders. Markor, text editor app, allows the same too.

The only one I found by searching is way out of date and doesn't seem to work. But it feels like there's got to be one out there somewhere

If you're reading this I hope you're having a lovely day :)
