Others have recommended other file explorers, but I use FX and rather like it.

Just to mention another file explorer, Solid Explorer is great especially becase it's easy to access Google Drive without having to use the Google drive interface.
I've been using FX File Explorer since 2012. It's straight up the best file manager on Android, especially when you use SMB and SFTP. Multi window makes moving things around easy as, and the built in text editor works a treat. Being able to share images from apps to FX's "Save As" option is awesome to. It means every app can save where you want.
No idea why it isn't more popular compared to the alternatives.

Smart audiobook player, fit notes. That's all I got and they're kind of niche
Fit notes is free? Is it a different one?
You can donate and unlock some things

MiXplorer: Tabbed file explorer with many features. You can get it for free from their website, but it's available paid on Google Play.
Symfonium: Music player compatible with many backends, such as local storage, WebDAV, Subsonic (which includes Ampache, Navidrome)
aCalendar+: Calendar app with many widgets. Best part is the persistent notification, which shows what's happening today, and will happen tomorrow.
Cryptomator: Cross-platform file encryption program, also open source.
HiPER Calc Pro. A great scientific calculator I use constantly. (There is also a unpaid, ad-supported version, and the ads weren't too intrusive the last time I tried it)
Qalculate is now on Android.
just scrolling trough my phone, here's some I like
app opps - lets you change permissions for apps, handy if you want to have multiple things playing audio or use google photos without it scanning your phone.
calcu - it's a calculator!
simple draw - exactly what it says on the tin
es file explorer pro - versatile, but not bloated
moon+ reader pro - a handy reader for all sorts of docs, including search etc
polarr - a photo editing app with features not a lot of apps have. The devs are pushing some dumb filters tho
handy photo - same as polarr
mx player pro - got videos to play?
poweramp - a music player
poweramp equalizer - is what it says on the tin
sd maid pro - for clearing out old files and such
poweraudio plus - used to be the only app with a parametric equalizer. Now poweramp does too
ultrachron - just a nice timer/stopwatch
unified remote - a remote control app, be careful tho, I doubt this thing is secure
web video caster - also downloads videos from plenty of places
and a couple more apps, where the developer has decided to pull the lifetime license and move to a subscription, even after I had bought it
officesuite pro - it's handy, but f them
Thanks for reminding me! I have the free version of unified remote and have been meaning to upgrade.
I will second Moon Reader and Web Video Caster.
So I've used Moon reader pro for several years and love it, but I cannot get reading states to sync between my Samsung phone and Samsung tablet. The book files are named exactly the same on both. I've tried syncing using Google Drive and Dropbox. It treats the books as two separate reading states, though I see the metadata/reading states file edited in Google Drive upon reading for a bit. Any suggestions?
I don't have it installed right now, as I've been trying out a FOSS reader for a while now on my new phone, but there is a troubleshooting section about syncing on their site, and also they recommend this guide made by a user discussing sync troubleshooting.
It's not a feature I've used, so maybe those guides have something you haven't tried. Since you replied to me though, I feel partially responsible for making sure you get helped now. ๐

Tasks.org is a wonderful open-source todo/task app, that has a low-cost monthly subscription to use it's syncing ability. It's worth it to support FOSS wherever we can.

CamScanner (intuitive and powerful scanner app that processes images exceptionally well and interfaces cleanly with all sorts of other apps) and Hiper Calc Pro (scientific calculator that shows you your input and looks like a classic calculator interface)
