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 🔥🔥🔥

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.

+1 for urlcheck and add Rethink firewall for me
