Open Sudoku and Endless Sky. ES saves the game as a text file. If you play it on PC and save a file the last line of the text file is the only difference. You can play the game on both and save back and forth. I only have FOSS apps. I don't have any google stuff at all. Both of these are from F-Droid.

I love this game but the ui is frustratingly small. Do you know of anyway to make it bigger? Or at least increasing the font size or something?

I just play it differently on Andy vs PC. On PC I'm aggressive with a smaller force and take a lot more risks. On mobile, I "talk softly and bring a big stick." I usually use a large force around me and use the grouping feature to control my own security and fire power. I don't worry about firing at stuff myself and all of my weapons are turrets on my own ship. This is how I deal with the resolution difference in practice.

There is a resizing setting for the screen resolution. The main thing to be aware of when swapping between mobile and PC is that last line I mentioned. Save a new game on both platforms and you'll see the last line is the over all layout setting for mobile versus PC. They use a completely different interface. If you use the PC version on mobile bc you didn't change the last line on the save file, it can be impossible to play.
