What are your must-have Android apps?

My essentials:

• PocketCasts - For podcasts, has good auto-download features.
• YouTube Music - My primary music subscription service.
• Habitory - Habit tracker. I had a very difficult time finding one that I liked but I am happy with this one.
• LingoDeer - Foreign language learning app similar to DuoLingo.
• Authy - Two-factor authentication app.
• DEV Community - 😎

I highly recommend Basecamp
for notes and todos and reminders etc...
but I recommend it if and only if you share like me their values from @DHH and friends of working in a way that is calm, productive and asynchronous first

They have recently Basecamp personal that is free for individuals/freelancers/...

this is what I've been using a lot in the last weeks, and I wonder why the hell I didn't try their products before

basecamp.com/personal

nova launcher is a must, the amazon kindle app is great, a guilty pleasure of mine is Bitmoji, the DEV app is very useful, and of course my very early beta of an app

Reddit - play.google.com/store/apps/details...

As a developer, my app comes in handy - play.google.com/store/apps/details...

Spotify - play.google.com/store/apps/details...

For movies - play.google.com/store/apps/details...

The Dev app, Twitter, Spotify, and I replaced the native texting app with Messages (which is only native on Pixel, AFAIK). There's also a cute game called Terrarium that I've been enjoying. You basically just care for house plants but it's so soothing.

I try to keep my phone as simple as possible. Adding random apps to my phone just to fill up memory ends up with me adding a bunch of stuff I end up not using.

I now leverage my memory for 2 key things

1. Music
2. Movies

My "must haves" are like most other peoples must haves. I usually throw out a lot of the huge apps I never use, like Facebook. (yes I don't use Facebook) The rest of my phones memory goes to more music and movies for when I'm bored.

With 256, you can carry a lot of either, and take tons of pictures 😄

An authenticator app, doesn't matter which one.
A maps app.
An instant messenger app.
My banking app and one or two payment systems that work with NFC.
A password manager.
A game for when I get stuck in waiting rooms (I like Spelltower, personally)
Something for music, something for video.

Resilio Sync - to sync my files across devices (i mostly use it to easily sync my huge media library)

Microsoft Todo - just a great to-do list which I use to manage all my life with

TV Time - To track my series and movies watch lists etc

Habit Loops - helps me build good habits

Spotify - for music and podcasts

Zero Fasting - Helps me track my fasts

All big social apps - Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, Instagram etc
