Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

"Can't live without" is an overstatement, but here are mine:

  • Kvaesitso, search focused android launcher. I used to really like nova launcher's local search and navigated my phone mostly using that. But once gensture navigation became a thing I had to stop using nova and replicate the experience in Samsung launcher with various local search apps that were lacking in comparison. Tried to go back a couple times once gestures with 3rd party launchers got better but found my old setup still too ugly and sluggish to go back to. Recently I randomly came across Kvaesitso on fdroid and it was everything I ever wanted out of a launcher.

  • Amberol music player. Not the ideal music player I'd like but at least it's not Elisa.

  • Kid3, audio file tag editor. It has much better workflow/automation than mp3tag that I used in windows, and it seems if you spend some effort on it you could add more automation to make it even better.

I wish one of those search based launchers would implement a t9 keyboard for searching apps so I could replace Appdialer (which isn't open source)

Kvaesitso is such a good launcher, have yet to find something which is better.
