I use a few apps from the SimpleMobileTools suite. They aren't full FOSS, they have basic and pro versions where the basic version is GPL3 and the proprietary extended features cost a few bucks. The basic FOSS tools are still decent, if barebones.

The suite includes:

  • a calculator
  • a phone dialer
  • a music player
  • a calendar
  • a photo gallery (with basic editor)
  • an audio recorder
  • a flashlight
  • a clock
  • an app launcher
  • an SMS messenger
  • a camera
  • a keyboard
  • a note taker
  • a file manager
  • a contact book
  • a simple painting canvas

I use the gallery and file manager the most. Though admittedly I threw a couple bucks their way for the proprietary extensions. It's not FOSS, but if it was going to be proprietary, I think it's one of the fairest deals in software these days. Better than another bloody subscription model, or holding the ad-free experience hostage behind a paywall.

But they sell their app to ZippoApps which gonna add ads and tracker and You have to get subscribtion to remove ads. You can switch to Fossify fork of SimpleMobile tools.

That's disappointing :/ do you have a source you could share?

Also, I'm confused about the versions available. From the comments here, there seems to be a free and paid version. But if I go to FDroid there's obly the "pro version" there. That's what I've been using and I see no ads. Where is the other one at?

If you install from F-Droid you are good to go it have pro features already but if you have play store then don't update at all. And maybe source code of SMT app will be archived in future.
