For me I have idm+, i brought it for 1 rupee using some discount. Some benifits are no ads in any website. I can download any video which is playable except on YouTube. There much more options but I don't use them.
I'll state some paid apps
GTA San Andreas : Most mobile games are meh. Nothing beats this for killing 5-15 mins of time
Poweramp Premium: If Youtube Music, Spotify, Apple Music are kings of music streaming, this is the king of offline music players. Way too powerful and strongest EQ on android (Poweramp EQ is a separate app too which is currently in free beta so you can try it out. Nothing Tech boasted their Advanced EQ, this is even further then that)
Solid Explorer: After scoped storage, file explorers became weak on Android. This is still strong with access to android folder, good smooth UI, accessing Google drive and even FTP. For 20 rupees, it's cheap too. Alternative I have heard is Mi XPlorer but resistant to use it
Simple Gallery Pro: Oneplus Gallery app is prone to slowness. This handles the good basics smoothly. 20 rupees is cheap too. However Simple Apps was recently bought out so I won't recommend this unless you freeze updates for this
Obtainium: 3rd party app installer which even supports updating them
Part 2:
Obtainium: I mentioned it before but it is free actually.
Bitwarden : Really great password manager
SwiftKey : Better than Gboard for predictions. It has more features too. It integrates Bitwarden, Bing GPT, synced clipboard across windows devices and your phone, language translation, floating keyboard in landscape, Microsoft Tasks etc
Kiwi Browser : Haven't migrated to it fully but it is android Chrome + extensions support
Aegis Authenticator
Ampere: Calculates the input current while charging the phone. Multiplying with your charger voltage gives you how fast the phone is charging. Fast charging phones come with different rails of voltage-current so it's not necessarily accurate but it gives you the idea if your phone is fast charging or not quickly. Unlike accubattery, it doesn't run in the background
Part 3:
Alarmy: This alarm app will push through your phone's speaker(s) capabilities to wake you up. You can set it so that the alarm cannot be snoozed, phone switched off. But that's only the beginning. You can set it to turn off only after n number of phone shakes, solving n number of arithmetic problems with choice of difficulties and a few more in the free tier. Paid tier seems not worth it as it is a subscription for not much. But this will literally wake you up
Adguard Premium : It's an adblocking app. Much of the functionality of this can be used by setting private dns as dns.adguard.com . I use the app for cutting internet access of few Vivo system apps. No bloat to be seen. Network access can be removed natively for installed apps on android but not for system apps
Duolingo : Moving from Snap streaks to Duolingo streaks has been a good decision. I can speak very little German now
ANXRacers, it's game I'm solo developing since last 2 years
