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
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
-
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
-
Protonmail
-
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.
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.
My most used would be
Tusky
Tachiyomi
Activity watch
AntennaPod
Droidify
Signal
Librera Reader
K-9 Mail
KeepassDX
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.

- Kiwi Browser

Reddit used to be one, but it has been uninstalled for almost a month now
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)
No idea to see how many apps I have installed.
Most used apps are:
- telegram
- boost for reddit
- youtube
- MS Teams
- google maps
- internet by samsung
- sweepy (house cleaning app)
- Kasa (home automation)
- tap ninja (dumb little idle game)
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.
Not really a Top 10 but here’s a list of my non-Google/OEM apps:
-
Jerboa for Lemmy
-
VLC
-
Outlook Lite
-
Facebook Lite
-
Instagram Lite
-
Whatsapp
-
Telegram
-
- chrome
- boost
- spotify
- duolingo
- messenger
- gmail
- Outlook
- keep
- pocketcasts
- ChMate: to chat on 5ch (Japanese BBS)
- Twitter: rarely opened but I use tweet notifications
- Instagram: rarely opened but I use post notifications
- YouTube
- YouTube Music
- Discord: started to use it since the start of Reddit fiasco
- Connect: started to use it since the start of Reddit fiasco
- Money Manager: to keep track of expense
- Weblio: English - Japanese dictionary
Currently: Liftoff, The Guardian, SimpleCalendar, BBC, Signal, Tusky, Fennec, FreeOTP+, Flightradar24, K9 Mail.
But it varies from day to day.
