Some others I previously forgot:
- Twilight is great for dimming your screen or shifting the color balance to red near bedtime. This is mostly baked into Android OS now but the app still gives a bit more control.
- Sleep as Android is an alarm and sleep tracking app with a ton of crazy and innovative features. Even if you don’t use most of them, having a smart alarm match your sleep cycle and wake you up gently with a fade-in is worth it.
- Accubattery does what it says and helps you track battery health and get the most longevity out of your device.
- Musicolet is a feature-packed audio player, and for me basically perfect. It even plays uncommon formats like Musepack.
- The Simple Mobile Tools set is quite good (esp. Gallery and File Manager) with minimal permissions and definitely worth a few bucks to the dev as a thank you.
A lot of great stuff recommended here already. Ditto a lot of them but here are a few others I use:
- Bitwarden Password Manager: been using this for years and recently decided to subscribe.
- Hermit : Create lite web apps.
- Repainter: Dynamic theming for Android 12+.
- Wavelet: Custom headphone/earbud equalizer with AutoEQ database.
- JuiceSSH: Great SSH interface.
- Obtainium: Keep apps from GitHub updated.
- Shizuku: Wireless ADB functionality.
- Droid-ify: F-Droid client with support for Shizuku for automatic app updating without root.
- Cryptomator: For encrypting cloud storage.
- Groundwire: VoIP SIP softphone with push notifications.
- SunSurveyor: Really great sun tracking for photography.
- PhotoPills: Decent sun tracking but lots of other photography reference tools.
- My Lightning Tracker & Alerts: Don’t really need this but somehow enjoy tracking lightning during storms. The alerts can be useful for an early heads up.
