Android Apps

Here's a list of my favourite Android Apps

This page was created: 20200204

Security & Privacy

Paranoid - Gives you a report on which permissions were given to which app
OpenVPN Connect - OpenVPN client
Google Authenticator - 2FA for your Google Account

Backup

The paid versions are much better.
If you don't like to pay for quality I suggest you create your own apps.

FolderSync Pro - Synchronize folders to your own servers (or cloud if you prefer)
My Backup Pro - Backup SMS & MMS
DiskUsage - Report on what takes up your space

Terminal Programs & SSH

Remember, if an SSH client doesn't ask you to verify the hostkey fingerprint the first time you connect to a server, then the client is insecure.

Termux - Unix-like terminal for Android
Termux:Tasker - Automate Termux operations via Tasker
JuiceSSH - SSH client, has cool irssi gestures
AndFTP - SCP, SFTP, FTP
ConnectBot - SSH client

Automation

If you have Tasker + Tasker App Factory + Termux:Tasker + Termux, then you can have an App that runs a bash script (i.e. with SSH operations)!

Tasker
Tasker App Factory - Create an "App" which runs your task

Network & Wi-Fi Analysis

Instant Messaging

These apps are the "least unsafe" methods of chatting on your smartphone

Signal - from Google Play
Signal APK - from Signal's website

File Manager

If your Android lacks a file manager, or if you need another file manager, or if you need to control which apps open which file formats

File Manager

Media Players

Poweramp Music Player (Trial)
Poweramp Full Version Unlocker
Kore - Kore, Official Remote for Kodi, use your phone as a remote for your home Kodi media player

Games

I think gaming on Android is really dull (compared to consoles). But if you must game on Android, here are the few games I like.

These games were "OK"

Learn Mandarin (Chinese)

Here are some great apps to learn Mandarin. If you upgrade (pay) they get even better!
