I would love to know what other people consider essential apps. What are some cool apps that not many people are using?

I often use the built in Files.app for connectivity to SMB shares. Is there additional functionality that FE File Explorer offers?

more file compatibility for previewing, verbose transfers, a web server, to name a few. but I mostly just like how it handles shares.
