Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app
Termux singlehandedly makes me feel like I'm living my childhood dream of having a full computer in my pocket. I use git to blog from my phone, I have ffmpeg and yt-dlp installed to download videos for when I am going to be away from internet access for a while, and I even have some home automation scripts setup that control the lights over the local network. But I am concerned about the direction Android is headed, Google policies have been aligning closer to Apple's. I don't like having to stay on a previous generation OS just to make sure I don't lose "power user" fuctionality. Just recently I had to install a root mod to allow apps complete access to SD cards, a recent update caused me to get the dreaded "To protect your privacy, choose another folder" while trying to give a gallery app permissions. I am grateful for Termux devs for working hard to maintain functionality via workarounds.<p><a href="https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/2366">https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/2366</a>
