I use the f droid store as a launcher almost more than I use my launcher’s native feature when I have to use an app thats not on the home screen. I can’t remember the weird names people give their projects so I just search for what I need and open whatever is already installed.

I use bitwarden password manager to keep notes about websites because it loads in the sidebar according to URL automatically. (More useful on desktop than mobile.)
