If you are including apps that are switching to a paid subscription model, I believe Infinity is going that route.

From what I understand, Stealth will keep working without the API since it has a scraper function based on old.reddit.com...
Stealth app gives the choice between using teddit endpoint API which will survive and by scraping data
You can add Narwhal (iOS) to the list. It’ll continue working as-is for a few months before transitioning to a monthly subscription.
I was going to mention boost, but a few hours ago this was posted https://old.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14m7ow1/boost_will_stop_working_after_july_1st_thank_you/
Infinity will also be able to be compiled with a personal API key. That means though that it'll be limited to 10 calls per minute and no NSFW posts, and allegedly Reddit won't like it, but I've been testing it out and it seems to work fine.
Are they sure with libreddit and teddit? Don‘t they rely on the API too?
I think they use the unauthenticated .rss and .json routes (which is why they are read-only). The reddit website itself currently relies on these. It's unclear whether reddit may lock them down in the future but it would likely require frontend updates on their end and massively break mod tools even more than what they're already doing.
Teddit uses his own "Unoffical API"
Unofficial API (RSS & JSON support, no rate limits or Reddit account required)
Libreddit there are some issues about it

Infinity (Android) is making a go at a paid subscription.
None of the reddit apps using the api will have nsfw content so I wonder if they are even worth it at that point.
Teddit, Libreddit and Stealth are scrappers, you can look ate nsfw subreddits
No, they are not. Personally, I think we are better off with lemmy and kbin which are not governed by corporations.
How is Dystopia 17+ years old but only has 3 ratings in the App Store? How strange
