Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FOSS4G Europe 2025
Conference program app for the FOSS4G Europe 2025 conference in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina https://2025.europe.foss4g.org About FOSS4G The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Europe (FOSS4GE) conference is the European branch event of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) annual conference. OSGeo is the largest and most important international organization that unites the community of developers, users, and advocates of free and open source in geospatial. The main focus of the organization is fostering the development, maintenance, and use of free and open source software for geospatial, open standards, and open data. The democratizing nature of the field creates a basis for sharing geographic data, promotes cooperation between organizations and individuals, and enables the application of data in solving the most diverse everyday problems, being the basis for such fields as map applications, logistics, transport, infrastructure planning, organizing rescue work in disaster areas, etc. FOSS4G is a community event organized by volunteers, with a focus on building a diverse and sustainable open community, sharing our own experiences, and learning from others. Although it is software that brings us together, it’s the deep care for the society and the environment that surrounds us, helping solve the World’s problems one bit at a time, that connects us.

PlugBrain
PlugBrain is an app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals. To regain access, you’ll need to solve a math challenge that adjusts in difficulty: the more frequently you use the apps, the harder the challenges become, but the longer you stay away, the easier they get. **Features** - No ads - No internet required - Blocks distracting apps - Unblock apps by solving math challenges - Difficulty increases with frequent use, decreases with focus **How to use** - Grant all required permissions - Select distracting apps - Choose your focus interval - Stay focused ;)
