There's a lot of good recommendations here but I haven't seen anyone recommend Trail Sense yet. I use it to keep track of my steps without worrying about my levels of activity being monitored by anyone else. It also notifies me an hour before sunset since I actually go hiking.

I honestly don't use that much foss on my Android phone, but DVD has to be my favourite. I like sharing memes as videos instead of links in chat apps and it lets me download videos from just about any app or site by just sharing the link to the DVD app. It uses yt-dl in the background, so any site supported by that should work.
I also constantly use Bitwarden, Aegis and Home Assistant along with a couple less often used ones. Those three felt so obvious to me that I didn't feel like picking them as my favourite :)
Catima - for saving arbitrary barcodes and stuff that are hard to integrate into other wallets. I keep my local library card in there, and it works wonderfully
Nonocross - fun little game that has zero frills and distractions. Also very responsive on their github to suggestions and improvements
Termux - when I need to get into things from afar, this is how I do it
Box, Box! - Formula 1 news, schedules, standings, etc
Coffee - Sometimes I want to keep the display awake, so this comes in handy
Material Files - the best files app I've ever used! Clean, material design and has everything I need. It can even run an FTP server
I'd recommend Mull instead of Firefox or Fennec (the deblobbed version) since it's hardened.
It's basically a Librewolf analogue for mobile
F-Droid, Voyager, Eternity, Libretube
Seriously guys, no one saying Nextcloud?
- The main app for photo backup.
- Nextcloud Notes for well, notes you can also use from the desktop.
- NC Passwords for well, passwords
- Phonetrack to record your phone to Nextcloud Maps.
- Deck for the Kanban.
I switched to Immich for photo backup/management. It's better by miles.
2FAS, Bitwarden, Firefox are my most used FOSS on Android for me.
Organic Maps, Syncthing and Feeder.
What's FNG? Fluid navigation gestures? Is that FOSS? Can you share a link to the codebase? Can't find it
OpenBoard + predictive text binary
Obtainium is pretty good
Here's a few I enjoy using that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
- Phonograph Plus: elegant music player using Material UI design
- Etar +ICSΒ² : Etar is a nice-looking calendar app that uses Material UI design, and ICSΒ² enables me to sync the Holiday Calendars provided on Thunderbird.net.
- Etar+ DAVxΒ² + NextCloud : enables syncing my local Etar calendar(s) with any NextCloud instance (using CalDAV). DAVxΒ² also allows for syncing my Android contacts to NextCloud (using CardDAV)
- AnySoft Keyboard: extremely customizable, varied keyboard layouts, for those who want all punctuation marks and quote signs built-in.
- Irregular Expressions: alternative keyboard for goofing around with unicode textstyles (π π π ‘π π π π ’, πΊππ π°ππππππ ππππ, οΌ₯ο½ο½ο½ο½ ο½ο½ο½ο½ , etc.)
- Simple Notes : minimalist "note to self" memos.
