Might be helpful to f-droid users to know what others are installing so here’s some of mine.
Web & email
social networking apps
-
Fedilab to browse mastodon, find it’s long press options really convenient for accounts across multiple instances. You can also use it for stuff like friendica but I find that awkward since it’s still using a UI meant for twitter-likes.
media/document viewers
-
NewPipe to stream youtube.
-
AntennaPod to subscribe and listen to podcasts
-
VLC, the Swiss army knife of media playback. Can play pretty much any local file and supports streaming(IPTV and the like) via m3u files.
-
Librera PRO for epubs, PDF, cbz ect
Misc android utils
-
AnySoftKeyboard virtual keyboard/ime with suggestions
-
Aurora Store to update webview
-
G-Droid an f-droid client with a UI I like and it supports reviews via a mastodon account.
-
KDE Connect for various linux desktop integration things
-
Lawnchair is what I use as my home screen app
-
Material Files file manager, find it to be more stable than amaze and it can extract several varieties of tar.* files as well as compressing 7z/tar.xz/zip.
-
RHVoice tts engine with English and Russian support and TTS Util which I can input text which RHVoice will use
-
Termux terminal emulator with packages
Games
-
Shattered Pixel Dungeon fun roguelike with cute graphics.
-
Frozen Bubble puzzle bubble like game with multiplayer support.

Last update was 5 years ago, though? Any recommendation for a music player from local storage?
Vinyl is an awesome fork of Phonograph.
I think it still gets updates, just not on f-droid, I had to download an apk for that one.
Look at the buttom of the file: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/blob/master/metadata/github.daneren2005.dsub.yml
There is a unknown maven repo ‘http://4thline.org/m2’ that disables the f-droid build.
I just know that the project is open source, had commits less than 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/daneren2005/Subsonic
If it not on F-Droid I don’t trust at all. Amaze was removed for including non-free undetected blobs from last releases a year ago if I remember.
Material Files came as a replacement later without non-free dependencies but not always is like that.
Try Metro player
Metro - A music player for Android (Best material design music player for Android) https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.Music/
Phonograph?
Phonograph is good but if you want all the feature you must purchase the pro version or compile it yourself from the github repo.
I find VLC perfect for playing music but it might be overkill to just use it for this use though.
