    Sorted them into a few categories

    Social

    • Cheogram - xmpp chat, can also handle phone and sms gateways

    • Fedilab - my preferred fediverse app for mastodon

    • Jerboa - preferred lemmy app

    • K-9 Mail - email

    • Pixelix - pixelfed app. not sure if I like this or PixelDroid better yet

    Media

    • AntennaPod - podcasts

    • Kiwix - offline copies of useful wikis, q&as, archives, etc.

    • Librera FD - books

    • NewPipe - watch youtube videos, although google keeps trying to break it

    • Voice - audiobooks

    Security

    • Aegis - two factor authentication

    • KeePassDX - password management

    • WG Tunnel - VPN connection, still not sure if this is the best option

    Notes and Documents

    • Orgzly Revised - note taking. for people not familiar with emacs something like logseq or safe notes might be better

    • Pinkt - bookmarks

    • Syncthing-Fork - synchronize files between devices

    System

    • F-Droid - technically it can install itself

    • Lawnchair - alternative home screen / app launcher

    • ntfy - runs in the background, handles push notifications for some other apps

    • Unexpected Keyboard - has the fancy keys that most android keyboards leave out

    Other Tools

    • Fennec - basically firefox

    • Organic Maps - sometimes missing info and it doesn’t have traffic data. simpler than OsmAnd

    • PocketPaint - make art on your phone

    • QuickDict - offline multi-language dictionary

    I’ve got hundreds more installed, but those are some of my favorites.
