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

Bitwarden for password management. Anki for learning anything that can be made into a flashcard. Infuse for connecting to my Plex server or for watching local content I loaded myself. Sleep Cycle for tracking my sleep and being my alarm clock. Trakt for tracking movies and TV shows. MyAniList for tracking specifically anime and manga. AppRaven for setting up price/updates/release alerts for apps in the App Store. Sentinel 2FA Authenticator is my 2FA choice since it syncs with iCloud and I’m well into the Apple ecosystem. AdGuard for adblocking and DNS filtering. DeepL is my my choice of translator app. GoodNotes 5 for taking notes on my iPad. Overcast for listening to podcasts. I also use it to listen to audiobooks so that I have the same features for speeding up and removing quiet portions, but this requires uploading mp3 files through a web portal and requires the subscription to have more space available. Paprika 3 for managing cooking recipes. TechniCalc for my calculator. Zotero is my reference manager since I’m in academia. StopTheMadness is such a powerful safari extension.
