I'll try to keep this to lesser known apps:
Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don't have to worry about the physical card)
Cofi (nice timer for active guidance through coffee brewing recipes)
10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn't have a mildly threatening owl ๐)
OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn't work very well in my area)
Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)
RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it's been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)
Cofi seems quite nice! I've already installed it as it seems much better than me using the standard Android stopwatch! Thank you for sharing!
10,000 Sentences is new to me!! Iโll add it to the list of apps that Iโll eventually use to learn a new language. ๐
