  • Assuming "system app" means preinstalled ones like maps/gmail/messaging

    • Chrome/Firefox
    • RIF Jerboa
    • Zulip
    • Stitcher Podcast Addict
    • A few smart home apps
    • Solitaire
    • A few shopping apps
    1. YouTube ReVanced - I am on YouTube daily.
    2. Ice Raven - Firefox derivative that has Ublock Origin and other useful extensions such as bypass paywalls.
    3. Boost for Reddit - Shutting down soon.
    4. Gmail - Simple and works for me.
    5. Geometric Weather - I check the weather daily, so this app is useful to me.
    6. xManager (Spotify) - Mod to get rid of Spotify ads.
    7. Neko - Tachiyomi fork for my manga
    8. Tachiyomi J2K - Tachiyomi fork for my NSFW doujins
    9. Discord - I use it for my anime, gaming, etc. communities.
    10. Modded GCam - I use a custom rom on my phone, so I also have a modded gcam which significantly improves over the default camera app of my phone.

    Apps that I don't use daily, but I still find useful.

    1. Obtanium - I really only check this app when it notifies me of a new update. Still useful since I don't have to go to GitHub for each individual app I want to update.
    2. F-Droid - Has open source apps.
    3. Notion - Useful note-taking app. I use it once a while for school notes that I want to do digitally (I prefer doing notes by hand).
    4. Poweramp - Offline music player. I use this when I am going on long road trips and need to put on airplane mode to save battery.

  • Wow, phone...

    used apps:

    • Business calendar 2
    • Signal
    • Waze
    • Authy
    • AH (shopping app)
    • OpenVPN for Android
    • ZoomFX
    • Banking app

    That's about it, it's almost always laying unused on it's fixed spot. It has the smallest available subscription, as 0 min and 0 MB is a tad to low for me.

    My main devices are my tablets, used for gaming and reading.

    • CSR Racing 2
    • Discord
    • Liftoff
    • World of tanks Blitz
    • World of warships blitz
    • Business calendar 2
    • OpenVPN for Android
    • 2 local news apps

    When I look at it, I don't even reach 10 used apps, let alone most used apps. (unless I combine, and then barely) And I installed Lineage on all with the smallest gapps set I could install without loosing store access.

    • chrome
    • boost
    • spotify
    • duolingo
    • Facebook
    • messenger
    • gmail
    • Outlook
    • keep
    • pocketcasts

  • Not really a Top 10 but here's a list of my non-Google/OEM apps:

    • Jerboa for Lemmy
    • VLC
    • Outlook Lite
    • Facebook Lite
    • Instagram Lite
    • Whatsapp
    • Telegram

  • Honestly, despite the fact that it feels like I have a billion apps installed on my phone, not really many of them are what I'd consider "daily" apps. When I really try to think about it, so far I think of:

    • Any of the Lemmy apps (as of recently)
    • A web browser (I switch between FF and Brave as of recently, to see what Brave is like)
    • Discord if one of my close friends happens to be messaging me and I'm not at my PC often during that day
    • Maybe Mastodon?

    For example, here were my most opened apps for Sunday according to "Digital Wellbeing"

  • Currently: Liftoff, The Guardian, SimpleCalendar, BBC, Signal, Tusky, Fennec, FreeOTP+, Flightradar24, K9 Mail.

    But it varies from day to day.
