ProtonMail - official ProtonMail client
ProtonVPN - official ProtonVPN client
Record You - most painless voice/screen recorder I've found
Simple File Manager - self-explanatory

Tasks.org - easy scheduled reminders with priority tiers, low-tier might not notify you at the night time due to Google ruining how Android does background running
Termux - terminal emulator with QOL packages
Translate You - lightweight offline translation
Unciv - game, clone of Civilization V in its 2D mode, genuinely more fun than the original
URL Radio - internet radio browser/client
