Here's my personal list of recommended apps for a few things:

  • Aegis (Play Store / F-Droid / GitHub) - 2FA FOSS app that's minimal and simple
  • Auxio (F-Droid / GitHub) - No-nonsense music player for local files
  • ConnectBot (Play Store / F-Droid / GitHub) - Simple SSH client
  • K-9 Mail, soon to be Thunderbird (Play Store / F-Droid / GitHub) - No-nonsense e-mail client
  • NewPipe (F-Droid / GitHub) - YouTube client for privacy, has no ads, supports background playing, local subscription lists, and ability to download videos
  • Techmino (GitHub) - FOSS Tetris clone with no ads and multiple modes, definitely my favourite
  • Waistline (F-Droid / GitHub) - Calorie counter app that stores all data locally. Need to add products yourself but have full control.

K-9 has joined Thunderbird family. Development speed has increased and it will be officially renamed to Thunderbird Mobile soon.

K-9 Mail and Thunderbird ended up partnering about a year ago at this point, and they're planning to turn K-9 Mail into Thunderbird on Android (and also iOS and macOS).
