    • Revanced Manager, a YouTube(+more!!!) patcher to remove, er, unwanted features.
    • Bitwarden Password Manager, password manager I switched to when Lastpass went down the shitter and wanted me to pay. I even ended up paying 10/y for TOTP in bitwarden, but only because I felt they actually deserved it, unlike lastpass
    • Mull, A Firefox fork with privacy enhancements, free modifications, and extension support. Mozilla, Firefox, and the Gecko engine help to fight the Chromium monopoly, which powers browsers like Chrome, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, etc.
    • Termux, terminal emulator for Android. I really only use it in conjunction with Tasker (nonfree), but still useful for one-off applications
    • K-9 Mail (soon Thunderbird for Android!), the only mail client for Android Ive ever used (apart from the gmail app). Now owned by Thunderbird and excited for it’s future.
    • Yuito, my preferred Mastodon client. I like it.

      VLC, for playing videos and other media.

      I’m surprised nobody mentioned this, but I use mpv for the same. It barely has an interface, but it’s light and extremely configurable, and what I did was turn it into a picture-in-picture player (small, no border, etc, show subtitles if possible…). I use it to watch everything, including Youtube videos (it has builtin yt-dlp integration).

      Aegis is amazing for authenticator codes! I love the backup/restore support. Never going back to Google Authenticator ever since my Pixel 3 bricked itself overnight and I lost all my codes

    My Expenses: pretty much the best expense tracking and budgeting android application I’ve had the pleasure of finding, It has some paid plans to enable cloud hosting, a local web server, among others, but the free one was more than enough to me for years.

        Not OP, but I personally use FreeTube. The design is not perfect, but you can add subscriptions and separate them between multiple accounts (those are all local), change themes and it even has support for SponsorBlock. If you prefer web apps, there’s Invidious.

        I use WSA to run NewPipe on my Windows tablet - it’s a bit of effort to install everything, but it works better than using the website in Firefox. I haven’t tried it yet, but it should also be possible to use it with Waydroid on Linux.

    Almost everything what I use is already listed here (Termux, NewPipe, Joplin, etc), so, here’s a few small apps that no one has mentioned yet:

    ViMusic - a tiny accountless app to stream music from YouTube music.

    HTTP Shortcuts - an app that allows you to create home screen shortcuts that execute arbitrary http requests, it supports JavaScript, so, you can write even something pretty complicated.
