My favorite F-droid app: [email protected]

  • Open Source
  • Uses your phone's spare computational power to help scientists working on everything from cancer research to finding pulsars and black holes. You choose which projects to contribute to. Phones are more compute-per-watt efficient than most computers, and every little bit helps!
  • Can't be published in Google Play store due to their ToS (it downloads and executes code from outside of its own APK which is not allowed)
  • Make sure to limit CPU usage to keep temps down. If your phone can't get rid of heat easily, this app is not for you.
