- Aegis Authenticator, IMO the best TOTP app out there.
- mpv-android to play almost any kind of multimedia files.
- Organic Maps for an OpenStreetMaps-based navigation, and doesn't require an Internet connection to operate.
- StreetComplete to fill missing OpenStreetMaps info you encounter, in an almost fun manner.
- Syncthing-Fork for a Syncthing client with some good mobile-specific tweaks.
- Termux to emulate and run a bunch of console-based softwares (like youtube-dl, etc).
- AirGuard to detect if you're being tracked by an Apple AirTag without your knowledge.

Libretube for YouTube: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.libretube/
Organic Maps for navigation and stuff: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.organicmaps/ It even shows speed cameras, which Google doesn't!
Seal for downloading videos: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.junkfood.seal/
- Mull: web browser
- QKSMS: text messaging with import/export support.
- K-9 Mail
- andOTP
- Vanilla Music
- DroidShows: because I sometimes forget where I left off when watching a show
- OsmAnd~: it's so-so for road navigation, but absolutely fantastic for hiking
- and finally lemmur, naturally
Haven't tried it yet myself, but I've heard that Organic Maps is much smoother and faster alternative to OsmAnd~.
I would love to use Lemmur, but I've been unable to add the lemmy.ca instance to it. It just says "Instance not found"
You're better off switching to Jerboa, that's what I did. Lemmur is no longer in development.
Fair Mail works way better for me than K9
I find FairMail better suited for my needs, too, but both are great e-mail clients with extensible customizability. It is up to your preferences, I suppose.
- Pdf Viewer Plus - simple PDF viewer
- quickDic - offline dictionary
- App Manager - full-featured package manager and viewer
- Librera PRO - All-Format eBook Reader
- K-9 Mail - Full-featured email client
- obsqr - fastest and most lightweight qr code reader
- Kernel Adiutor - Manage kernel parameters
- Metro - Best material design music player
I got the qrcode app since I needed one, cool one. And I also use K9-Mail really good client imho
Just recently found Barista. Its an alternative instagram client that lets you browse privately and does not expose you to their stupid algorithm. Also Infinity to go on Reddit.
It's called Barinsta in case anybody is looking for it:

Development has stopped, not working anymore because of expected Meta lock-in.
