    Some others I previously forgot:

    • Twilight is great for dimming your screen or shifting the color balance to red near bedtime. This is mostly baked into Android OS now but the app still gives a bit more control.
    • Sleep as Android is an alarm and sleep tracking app with a ton of crazy and innovative features. Even if you don’t use most of them, having a smart alarm match your sleep cycle and wake you up gently with a fade-in is worth it.
    • Accubattery does what it says and helps you track battery health and get the most longevity out of your device.
    • Musicolet is a feature-packed audio player, and for me basically perfect. It even plays uncommon formats like Musepack.
    • The Simple Mobile Tools set is quite good (esp. Gallery and File Manager) with minimal permissions and definitely worth a few bucks to the dev as a thank you.

          For me, it’s very helpful in the ways it prevents me from oversleeping. I have it set to that in order to turn off my alarm, I have to go scan the barcode on my mouthwash in my bathroom, thus forcing me out of bed. The sleep tracking features are neat too and will hopefully wake you up when you’re out of deep sleep so you’re less groggy in the morning.
