I’m sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven’t hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it’s a productivity tool that’s boosted your efficiency, a unique game that’s kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that’s catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.

What are some Android hidden gem apps that you’ve used a bunch or think it’s really cool/interesting/useful?

Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.

Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    I get it, to be honest I always seed the shit I download lol, I have symlinks or whatever they are called made by Softwarr so it doesn’t affect me where they are being downloaded, I can have my stuff nicely organized and recognizable by Plex, I also do share my PMS, but only with a cousin.

      Remember, sharing is caring! I even offer my friends access to my Jellyfin, Tailscale with self-hosted Headscale is such an awesome tool for that.

        And do they actually use it?

        I mean, even when my PMS doesn’t require a VPN to interact with it (thanks to adjustments on my end) they don’t always use it 😂

        I can’t see they would never use it if they need to have Tailscale on lol.

          Of course, it’s basically free Netflix. But unlike Netflix, I don’t randomly remove content from my library. Unlike Netflix, I don’t have an artificial limit on simultaneous video streams. If someone wants to watch a specific piece of content, they can use Jellyseerr to request it and I will try to find it on a public or private torrent tracker and add it to the library. Connecting to Tailscale is just a minor inconvenience for essentially getting free and unlimited Netflix.

            Well, try to argue with that with my audience 😂

            I see your point and yeah, it is kinda impressive that we can deliver a better service for the best price of all, free.

              Obviously we can deliver a better service. We aren’t greedy profit-driven multi billion dollar corporations. We don’t see our users as customers whom we can extract every single penny out of.
