Anyways, here are some of my favorites (in no particular order):
- Ventoid: Prepare Ventoy USBs from Android
- Termux: Android terminal app and Linux runtime environment (you can run full Linux DEs like XFCE or even play Windows games via Wine!)

- Thunderbird (K-9 Mail): No need to explain this
- NewPipe: Ad-free YouTube client / downloader with background playback
- Hacki: Hacker News client
- Nunti: Smart RSS reader
- Flare: Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, RSS client
- Nightzuku: Updated fork of Shizuku, which provides root-like functionality without root
- Unexpected Keyboard: Modern replacement for Hacker's Keyboard
- Element X: Video calls, chat etc over Matrix
- MPV: Lightweight media player
- Mullvad VPN: Possibly the best privacy-respecting VPN
- KeePassDX: Possibly the best password manager (and it's NOT written in Javascript!)
- WiFiAnalyzer: WiFi channel optimiser, signal strength detecter
- NetGuard: Firewall
- Aurora Store: FOSS Play Store frontend, for the rare ocassion you need to download something from the Play Store but don't want to touch the official app
