I’m back! This is a continuation of my series on platform-specific hidden gem apps that you have discovered that are the best in their class for your usecase.

We’ve done iOS+MacOS so far so lets get universal and share our Android hidden gems.

For mine, I would say NewPipe for YouTube… Lets do it!

Edit: Please try to avoid apps that cannot be purchased (subscription apps) since it is important that the creator cannot cut you off once you’ve taken time/effort/money to integrate it into your workflow and dependance. No Apollos, which have that fatal flaw + relying on an external API that they additionally cannot gurantee

    JINA App Drawer.

    My most used app on my device.

    Basically lets you swipe up from the home button to reveal a customized grid of apps + app search.

    Makes it so:

    • I never have to go back to my home screen to launch a new app
    • I can use my entire home screen for widgets and to just look nice

      Similar but, IMO better option, would be Sesame Search & Shortcuts for those who are interested in these types of things.
