Is there an easy list of recommded foss alternatives to apps someone has put together? It would be awesome if someone simply made something where you type in the name of an existing app on your phone and it listed the best rated foss alternative/gave a brief summary of its pros.

Unfortunately, there are zillions, all out-of-date.
My current method for finding things that are good is…
after searching for such an app with FLOSS, then with FOSS as keywords,
then I go to github, & search
awesome document scanner
or
awesome OCR
e.g. to find what there might be in the domain…
It became normal, a few years ago, for people to temporarily curate Awesome…
lists for each programming-language, to help new-programmers bypass the crud,
& … thankfully … some people are doing that for apps, now, too…
hth, eh?
