I just installed PlugBrain yesterday. It gives you increasingly difficult math tasks every x minutes the longer you use Social Media / addicting apps.

LibreFind scans your installed packages locally and queries their community-submitted database to identify proprietary software and find FOSS alternatives.

It's a bit inconsistent with what it thinks are "equivalent", but when it works, it's a great way to find FOSS alternative to apps you have
TrackerControl for blocking apps from connecting to the internet
Simple apps for Gallery and File Browser
Markor for mardown note taking
JustPlayer for watching videos
I've yet to find a good music player, since f-droid's search sucks - it only searches in the name and short description. I've tried Apollo and Odyssey, but neither has a fucking folder whitelist/blacklist setting and end up filled with audio from telegram and whatsapp. Also, most players completely ignore .opus format

I'll be honest, I haven't really used these so not sure of their features, but figured I'd mention them.
Auxio
PixelPlayer
Fennec web browser.
Compass for well, a compass.
Voyager in case Connect breaks again
Connect broke?
I geocache and hike a lot so there's one app that is fantastic for this, c:geo. I can import my trail map via gpx format, highlight the route, and download the geocahes before I hop on the trail.

I've also been messing around with Trail Sense, a lot of various tools for hiking. It has stuff like satellite tracking and an astronomy tool for finding where the stars and constellations are.

For exercising, I use an interval timer, I find Timer does this the best

fave tube app
revanced: https://revanced.app/ it's a bit of a hassle to set up but then it's the best imo
I haven't used droid-ify previously, downloaded it and gave it a quick look. UI-wise they seem pretty on par now, with F-Droid having better browsing, but droid-ify has zoom in app images, something I've wanted forever on the official app.
I can't compare them functionally without using it for a while, so maybe someone else can talk about that.
