What niche apps do you use for your Nothing devices?

Anonymous1004

Starting this thread to collect great app suggestions that went under my radar while scrolling through this community. Lots of really cool stuff are here and I love seeing you guys' phone setups!

I'll start with some truly essential apps I can't live without:

Revanced for Youtube: Blocks ads, but more importantly it has features to hide shorts and useless features so I only focus on the content I actually need
Revanced for Youtube Music + OuterTune: I don't play songs from them, but I store all my liked songs and playlists so it's easier to download with…
yt-dlp using Seal: Downloads stuff from youtube and basically any major website at full quality, without the issues of online downloaders (sorry cobalt tools)
VLC and mpv: Not niche, but they play literally every video file, no matter how weird the codec
Firefox: Not niche on desktop but people avoid it on android due horrible performance. I had the same issue on my Redmi so I avoided it, but the Nothing 3A runs it well so I get to use extensions and themes!

FUTO Keyboard, an offline-only keyboard that can do dictation locally. Source code available, no analytics.
MiXplorer, file manager and FTP server, it doesn't collect user data and makes it really easy to transfer files to and from a Windows PC wirelessly. It has more features with root but works non-rooted too.
Retro (fork of Metro) music player. A material 3 music player for offline music, very polished UI… open source, no Google play api.
Voyager (for Lemmy), decentralized forums, secret new home for PrequelMemes, no its not a trap, this is where the fun begins…
N Calc, nothing inspired calculator, fits the Nothing aesthetic.

FabioR 🇩🇪 I love the InnerTune family of forks (OuterTune, Metrolist, etc.) I really want to use metro but youtube frequently messes up the apps so it's more reliable to download it all with yt-dlp and use an offline player

Distilled I'm using a fork of FUTO that makes it fit the Nothing style, it looks really good. Unfortunately doesn't have one handed mode yet as it hasn't been updated in a while https://github.com/arunk140/nth-kbd

MiXplorer sounds like the perfect app: I was just searching for a file manager yesterday that had FTP so thanks!
