Most used apps:
- Tachiyomi
- Play Books
- Saikou
Syncwefwef- Bitwarden
- LibreTorrent
- Firefox
- Nova Launcher (Do launchers count?)
- Keep Notes
- Plex
Oh s*** If launchers count I need to edit my list. Nova launcher is still my most used app. I am looking for a decent alternative since the branch analytics approaches though.
Assuming “system app” means preinstalled ones like maps/gmail/messaging
- Chrome/Firefox
RIFJerboa- Zulip
StitcherPodcast Addict- A few smart home apps
- Solitaire
- A few shopping apps

Firefox

Discord

Slack

Sync for Reddit (using my own API key with revanced)

Like 4 Lemmy apps I switch between until Sync for Lemmy happens

Most used apps:
- Jerboa
- Mastodon
- Orgzly
- Newpipe
- Musicolet
- Finale
- Antennapod
- DuckDuckGo
- Play Books
- Keepass
Musicolet has been a real eye-opening experience. It sinks up to recently downloaded music so easily. It’s become my go-to for offline music. Works great in combination with new pipe which lets you download the audio version of any video
- YouTube ReVanced - I am on YouTube daily.
- Ice Raven - Firefox derivative that has Ublock Origin and other useful extensions such as bypass paywalls.
- Boost for Reddit - Shutting down soon.
- Gmail - Simple and works for me.
- Geometric Weather - I check the weather daily, so this app is useful to me.
- xManager (Spotify) - Mod to get rid of Spotify ads.
- Neko - Tachiyomi fork for my manga
- Tachiyomi J2K - Tachiyomi fork for my NSFW doujins
- Discord - I use it for my anime, gaming, etc. communities.
- Modded GCam - I use a custom rom on my phone, so I also have a modded gcam which significantly improves over the default camera app of my phone.
Apps that I don’t use daily, but I still find useful.
- Obtanium - I really only check this app when it notifies me of a new update. Still useful since I don’t have to go to GitHub for each individual app I want to update.
- F-Droid - Has open source apps.
- Notion - Useful note-taking app. I use it once a while for school notes that I want to do digitally (I prefer doing notes by hand).
- Poweramp - Offline music player. I use this when I am going on long road trips and need to put on airplane mode to save battery.
I have 240 total apps on my phone, so probably about 210 non system apps.
For apps I use the most currently, here is my guess:
- Firefox
- Jerboa to kill time. This used to be Reddit.
- Music Speed Changer: An app to playback local audio with a different speed and pitch with minimal distortion. This is my primary music player.
- FX file manager. I use it to look at photos and local videos.
- An app to get directions from point A to point B using public transit in my city.
- GSMArena: An app for phone news and reviews. One of the rare cases where the app is actually naturally better than the mobile website.
- Google maps. I want to degoogle but I literally use this app for work.
- Messages. For text messages.
- Camera. Interesting that it’s this far down.
- NewPipe for background playback of music found only on YouTube. It barely edges out the official YT app to get on this list, as the amount of ads on mobile YT is too much (especially the homepage, ugh) unless I’m watching a creator that I know deserves the ad revenue.
Why do you need the ability to play music back with different speed or pitch? What do you use it for?
Listening to music in a different key or pitch can make it sound quite different, almost like you haven’t heard it before. I mostly use it for fun.
Dont have 10 but the ones I use the most are
-YouTube ReVanced
-Instander
-Boost (til it dies)
-Spotify
-WhatsApp
-E*Trade
-Protonmail
pretty basic lol
Boost still lives?
Yeah, it’s still alive for now… Most recent post by admins on reddit is that the API changes will be rolled out in the next few weeks so at some point it’ll finally die. Rn tho it’s still working and you can still view all content (including NSFW)
Many in my list are used but not actually opened (running in background)
- AdAway
- AFWall+
- Whoscall
- Mullvad VPN app
- LIHKG (for a local popular forum)
- Firefox (for coming here)
- YouTube
- Kee2pass
- Home Assistant
- Sofascore
Actually the list goes on.
Reddit used to be one, but it has been uninstalled for almost a month now

Bromite
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think bromite is recommended anymore. Github shows last update bring December 2022 which is a long time for a browser, and not keeping up with security patches.
Bromite is kept up to date with chromium here:
https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools
There are just no extra new bromite-specific features added AFAIK.
Wow, phone…
used apps:
- Business calendar 2
- Signal
- Waze
- Authy
- AH (shopping app)
- OpenVPN for Android
- ZoomFX
- Banking app
That’s about it, it’s almost always laying unused on it’s fixed spot. It has the smallest available subscription, as 0 min and 0 MB is a tad to low for me.
My main devices are my tablets, used for gaming and reading.
- CSR Racing 2
- Discord
- Liftoff
- World of tanks Blitz
- World of warships blitz
- Business calendar 2
- OpenVPN for Android
- 2 local news apps
When I look at it, I don’t even reach 10 used apps, let alone most used apps. (unless I combine, and then barely) And I installed Lineage on all with the smallest gapps set I could install without loosing store access.
- Nextcloud
- Zulip
- Keepass2android
- Brave
- K-9 mail
- Home assistant
- Termius
- KDE connect
- Magic Earth
- Deezer

Boost for reddit
🥲
it’s still working for me.
I used to like internet by Samsung but the lack ublock became a deal breaker. In particular kiwi and Firefox nightly support desktop extension so I could use sponsor block, bypass paywall, privacy redirect, old Reddit redirect… But the Samsung Internet had the best dark mode. And it has the most minimalist looking widget which works on almost any aesthetic.
I wish Firefox would offer a widget that just had a little black clear bar with a microphone that I couldn’t use on half of a grid like the Samsung widget.
The ad blockers it uses has worked fine for me.
