Android:

  • Nexdns.io^1 - Open source DNS provider with DNSSEC and over TLS. Then can also block ads at the DNS level. I don't actually use the app, I apply it at the system level with the "private DNS" settings.
  • Bitwarden^2 - Open Source password manager with Yubikey auth and stores TOTP.
  • Imagepipe^3 - Quickly and easily strip exif data from image (open source too).
  • Markor^4 - Used to make local notes of things I don't want shared over a cloud or google connection. Just a .md note.
  • Wireguard^5 - Have my own VPN setup for when i'm on public wifi, also allows me to access my server/applications remotely.
  • URLCheck^6 - This app is fantastic, intercepts links to remove tracking parameters, unshorten them or even scan them with a virustotal API. I also use it to redirect twitter to nitter or apply a paywall remover.

Edit: cosmetic change

You can configure it per app. And choose your own block lists.
