I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android (f-droid.org)

Here's mine:

AnkiDroid - mobile version of popular desktop flashcards software Anki
Bitwarden (don't remember if this needed a repo) - favourite password manager
Catima - holds loyalty cards
Fennec F-Droid - Build of Firefox without ads and that supports more extensions
DiskUsage - see what's taking up your disk
GadgetBridge - FOSS app for smart watches, Mi bands etc.
Lawnchair - Home screen replacement that's visually identical to the default one but allows me to double tap to lock
Material Files - file manager
Loop - Habit tracker
p!n - Pin reminders to notifications
muPDF Reader - fast PDF reader that doesn't crap out when I zoom in and out unlike Google Drive
Simple Gallery - lightweight gallery app
NextCloud and NextCloud Notes - Access NextCloud
Scrambled EXIF - Share pictures without giving away EXIF data
Tusky - nice Mastodon client
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - a game way too addictive to be safe to install
NewPipe - FOSS frontend with AdBlock and downloader for YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp and others
Librera - read EPUBs
Lemoroid - Nice libretro client to play video games
Infinity - Reddit client that still works. I believe they did something hacky with the API key to get around the block.
Migraine Log - Nice app for migraine sufferers to log their attacks
Scarlet - Beautiful notes app

Thanks for the mentioning GadgetBridge. Just revived an Amazefit Smartwatch that I wasn't using because of the default app!
