Not sure the popularity, but here’s what are essential to me:
AnySoftKeyboard - a custom keyboard that supports layouts like workman/colemak
Simple Gallery - Fantastic gallery app
Mule - Secure version of Firefox
OneTracker - simple bullshit free parcel tracker
Xplore - dual pane file manager, been using it for over 10 years. Can’t go back to regular ones
Yubico Authenticator - Used to get OTPs off my Yubikey.
I have more essential apps, but they’d fall close or in popular.
I use both. I have a self hosted docker compose instance of mailcow, which alerts me when an update is available.
I also use protonmail as well.
Self hosting was a pain in the ass to get working, but I’ve had no issues with it once up. I tossed it behind a reverse proxy to keep it from directly touching the internet.
