I'm surprised nobody mentioned this, but I use mpv for the same. It barely has an interface, but it's light and extremely configurable, and what I did was turn it into a picture-in-picture player (small, no border, etc, show subtitles if possible...). I use it to watch everything, including Youtube videos (it has builtin yt-dlp integration).
There are quite a few of them:
Spotube is awesome, thanks!
I love AntennaPod, it's a real gem.
I've been loving LibreTube recently. It doesn't seem go get nearly as much love as other YouTube clients
On Windows:
Android:
Probably missed some, but the above are essential to my everyday use.
For sync a la Dropbox, check out Syncthing! I run it in Windows, Linux, Mac, my Synology NAS, and Android. Works amazingly well.
Sounds good, I'll check it out - thanks!
Android Waistline calorie counter and Verifit workout diary
They're both pretty basic but honestly upon switching I realized how many superfluous features I didn't use in my old apps.
AdAway for Android via fDroid
Material Files
Seeker - Music Downloader
CaPod - Airpod Status Notification
Otraku - Anilist client
Personal DNS Filter - adblock
Unchained - Real Debrid client
Acode - Text Editor
Jerboa is pretty cool too
Wow. I used to use soulseek about 15 years ago. Is it still very active?
Found everything i wanted in flac, so yeah id say its active enough haha
Aegis, Bitwarden, OrganicMaps, VLC, Jellyfin, Signal, Infinity, Jerboa, StandardNotes, Newpipe, Fritter and Tutanota
Aegis is amazing for authenticator codes! I love the backup/restore support. Never going back to Google Authenticator ever since my Pixel 3 bricked itself overnight and I lost all my codes
The one I am using and not already mentioned :
qBitController to remote manage qBittorrent
Transistor a very basic app to listen to radio over internet. Previously I was using RadioDroid which is more advanced but for what I do a simple app is largely enough and better
RedReader - a fantastic Reddit app, that hopefully will support Lemmy in the future.
My Expenses: pretty much the best expense tracking and budgeting android application I've had the pleasure of finding, It has some paid plans to enable cloud hosting, a local web server, among others, but the free one was more than enough to me for years.
On my Android tablet, my most used app has got to be either Mull (web browser, based on Firefox), NewPipe (YouTube client), or Tusky (Mastodon client).
My favourite app, however, is probably UntrackMe.
Almost everything what I use is already listed here (Termux, NewPipe, Joplin, etc), so, here's a few small apps that no one has mentioned yet:
ViMusic - a tiny accountless app to stream music from YouTube music.
HTTP Shortcuts - an app that allows you to create home screen shortcuts that execute arbitrary http requests, it supports JavaScript, so, you can write even something pretty complicated.
I have lawnchair and the Papirus icons and I also have some of the Simple App suite to replace the propietary file manager, camera, etc.
I also have a reminders app called Habits, as well as Revanced, Infinity for Reddit (RIP), and Jerboa.
And for games I have Lichess, Mindustry and Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Oooh, Habits is great! I've been looking for a simple habit tracker for years!
