Based on a quick scroll through Digital Wellbeing over the past month, these seem to be my most used apps, excluding the default apps
Newpipe (by a wide margin, I didn’t realize how much I used it)
Crew
Brave (this represents both my time on Lemmy and Mastodon)
Follow (for my gf’s dexcom)
ADP Mobile (I’m bumping this up here because I open it more times per day than any app below this. My daily screen time for this app is usually 1m or less)
Vampire v5 Characters (genuinely had no idea how much time I was sinking into making characters for a game I have not played and likely will never play because 5e is the only ttrpg that exists ☹️)
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”
Musicolet has been a real eye-opening experience. It sinks up to recently downloaded music so easily. It’s become my go-to for offline music. Works great in combination with new pipe which lets you download the audio version of any video
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.
I have 240 total apps on my phone, so probably about 210 non system apps.
For apps I use the most currently, here is my guess:
Firefox
Jerboa to kill time. This used to be Reddit.
Music Speed Changer: An app to playback local audio with a different speed and pitch with minimal distortion. This is my primary music player.
FX file manager. I use it to look at photos and local videos.
An app to get directions from point A to point B using public transit in my city.
GSMArena: An app for phone news and reviews. One of the rare cases where the app is actually naturally better than the mobile website.
Google maps. I want to degoogle but I literally use this app for work.
Messages. For text messages.
Camera. Interesting that it’s this far down.
NewPipe for background playback of music found only on YouTube. It barely edges out the official YT app to get on this list, as the amount of ads on mobile YT is too much (especially the homepage, ugh) unless I’m watching a creator that I know deserves the ad revenue.
Ice Raven - Firefox derivative that has Ublock Origin and other useful extensions such as bypass paywalls.
Boost for Reddit - Shutting down soon.
Gmail - Simple and works for me.
Geometric Weather - I check the weather daily, so this app is useful to me.
xManager (Spotify) - Mod to get rid of Spotify ads.
Neko - Tachiyomi fork for my manga
Tachiyomi J2K - Tachiyomi fork for my NSFW doujins
Discord - I use it for my anime, gaming, etc. communities.
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.
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.
F-Droid - Has open source apps.
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).
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.
Yeah, it’s still alive for now… Most recent post by admins on reddit is that the API changes will be rolled out in the next few weeks so at some point it’ll finally die. Rn tho it’s still working and you can still view all content (including NSFW)
I have 247 apps on the phone I’m using now. It varies a bit though because I use different phones and I swap my sim around.
Include system apps so I don’t know maybe 200 or something.
I would imagine the 10 I used the most not including system apps are:
*Firefox nightly
*Kiwi browser
(these are the only two browsers are among the only aware of that use desktop extensions like sponsoblock, bypass paywall etc…)
Revanced YouTube
YouTube music revanced
Newpipe x sponsorblock
Musicolet
Antenna pod
Fire TV app (to use as a remote control)
Shortcut maker
Nova launcher (looking for a replacement and updates are turned off since branch analytics purchase)

Wow, phone…

Many in my list are used but not actually opened (running in background)
Actually the list goes on.
Reddit used to be one, but it has been uninstalled for almost a month now
I have 240 total apps on my phone, so probably about 210 non system apps.
For apps I use the most currently, here is my guess:
Why do you need the ability to play music back with different speed or pitch? What do you use it for?
Listening to music in a different key or pitch can make it sound quite different, almost like you haven’t heard it before. I mostly use it for fun.
Apps that I don’t use daily, but I still find useful.
I dont use 10 apps every day, I can’t even think of 1.app I use literally every day, but these are the apps I use most days
Most used:
Dont have 10 but the ones I use the most are
-YouTube ReVanced
-Instander
-Boost (til it dies)
-Spotify
-WhatsApp
-E*Trade
-Protonmail
pretty basic lol
Boost still lives?
Yeah, it’s still alive for now… Most recent post by admins on reddit is that the API changes will be rolled out in the next few weeks so at some point it’ll finally die. Rn tho it’s still working and you can still view all content (including NSFW)
Currently: Liftoff, The Guardian, SimpleCalendar, BBC, Signal, Tusky, Fennec, FreeOTP+, Flightradar24, K9 Mail.
