Clipious or FreeTube Android
Clipious: Privacy focused invidious client that syncs with your account and lets you pick backup instances in case yours goes down
FreeTube: Ad-blocking cross-platform privacy-focused YouTube client that imo looks better than NewPipe + Clipious
FluffyChat (if you use Matrix)
Secure, private (although not as good as Signal), client for Matrix (the messaging service) that imo looks better than Element and lets you seperate rooms + DMs, which some clients don’t let you do iirc as well as a couple other features like pinned messages and video calls.
HeliBoard
Best open source keyboard I’ve used so far
Moshidon and/or Mastify
Mastodon clients. Mastify looks really good but is till in Alpha releases so is missing quite a bit of features. Moshidon is extremely feature rich.
Podverse
My personal favourite podcast app, run by 1 person afaik with a lot of free features, or a very cheap paid plan that is basically just a donation because it only adds like 2 features that I can remember. Has a very generous trial too and the dev has said if you can’t afford it they’re willing to adjust pricing for you.
QUIK SMS
Best actively maintained, open source SMS client.
From official F-Droid & IzzyOnDroid repos (except for Molly):
Aegis Secure + encrypted 2FA
Calculator++ Powerful scientific calculator
