Nexdns.io[1] - Open source DNS provider with DNSSEC and over TLS. Then can also block ads at the DNS level. I don’t actually use the app, I apply it at the system level with the “private DNS” settings.
Bitwarden[2] - Open Source password manager with Yubikey auth and stores TOTP.
Imagepipe[3] - Quickly and easily strip exif data from image (open source too).
Markor[4] - Used to make local notes of things I don’t want shared over a cloud or google connection. Just a .md note.
Wireguard[5] - Have my own VPN setup for when i’m on public wifi, also allows me to access my server/applications remotely.
URLCheck[6] - This app is fantastic, intercepts links to remove tracking parameters, unshorten them or even scan them with a virustotal API. I also use it to redirect twitter to nitter or apply a paywall remover.

What do you use for paywall remover?
I have 2 options that work most of the time: 12ft.io and archive.ph. The URLCheck rules are:
"proxy it with archive.is": { "regex1": "^(https?):\\\/\\\/([\\s\\S]*)$", "regex": "^(?!.*(archive\\.))(.*)", "replacement": "https:\/\/archive.is\/newest\/$2", "enabled": "true" }, "12ft.io.": { "regex": "^.*$", "replacement": "https:\/\/12ft.io\/$0" },
This basically brings up 2 buttons on the urlcheck sheet an I can pick either to proxy it.
