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

URLCheck: Bring back the "open link with..." functionality of android with so many more features
PassAndroid: I was looking for a wallet-type app to store tickets. This is the perfect combination of simple but works.

I also started using KDEConnect recently just for the remote input function and I already consider it essential.

KDE connect is 🔥🔥🔥

+1 for urlcheck and add Rethink firewall for me

Just want to drop in some alternatives, LinkSheet is pretty similar to URLCheck with many of the features, and fWallet in my opinion has nicer UI/UX than PassAndroid

I actually tried fWallet first but it couldn't import my .pkpass file at the time and it didn't show any errors so I just gave up. I might try it again next time I have a ticket.

Hmm, that's weird. It worked just fine for me. I even tried it with a file that I exported from Apple Wallet, it worked just fine in fWallet.

I just checked out fWallet and it doesn't support importing random PDFs so that's a huge downside to me since a lot of events I attend only send a PDF with barcodes/QR codes.

Oh I only thought about the .pkpass use case, as that's what I've been using PassAndroid for, before I switched to fWallet.
