Internet Helper for Gadgetbridge vs Plug Off Airplane
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Internet Helper for Gadgetbridge
This app provides an interface to Gadgetbridge for HTTP/FTP transfers and WiFi control. It functions mostly like a low-level proxy. Gadgetbridge is in control of what is requested and what is shared. It uses a "dangerous permission" for making sure the Gadgetbridge user makes an explicit decision to allow/disallow usage of this helper.
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
