See here, since someone else asked as well.

Yes! There's so many cool apps on there! I wish the play store was similarly browsable.

That's an extremely cool usecase! Thank you for sharing it, I might steal it!

I use Typewise, with its default hexagonal layout that's supposedly based on the frequency of letters in English. I've gotten alright with it - ~60 WPM on Monkeytype, which is enough that it doesn't feel clunky to use it. And it's quite fun to practice, too!

While I'm pretty sure it's quite possible to write faster with more predictive keyboards, I really appreciate the precision this one allows. Especially since I'm bilingual, which leads to autocorrect and swype getting quite confused sometimes.

I'm still in the market for a better keyboard app. Another interesting one I've tried was MessagEase. It looks really cool and arcane to use, but I found it to be slower in spite of me putting more effort into mastering it.

You can use most modern phones as a spirit level with the right app! It's really useful when doing projects around the house, not having to run around to find a real one. Quite accurate, too!

Oh, I'm aware and I largely agree. I've got a nitecore Tini SS and it's both adorable and really useful.

One thing I've found extremely useful is carrying a small headlamp around - specifically a Nitecore NU20. Having hands-free lighting is so handy. Although, come to think of it, I wonder if I could modify the Tini to serve that purpose..

Been doing this too! Embarrassingly I still need to refer to my washing machine manual occassionally.

It's a really useful habit!

In a similar vein, I've also got a receipt scanner app - to make sure I've got 'em saved if I need to return or service something.

Cool list! I've taken to listening to music and videos with a sleep timer as well.

I wonder, what unusual things are you using a password manager for? Inputting common address data or something?

I had initially mentioned the custom keyboard app I was using. I have since edited the post to remove that, since I'm genuinely interested in people's answers and don't want them to think this is an ad.

Believe it or not, not every corner of the internet has been taken over by astroturfing as of yet!

I'm genuinely just sharing a cool keyboard app that has made my use-case far more fun for me. Another such app I used for a while was MessagEase, but unfortunately they went subscription-based (and also it was slower, even after a huge amount of practice).

This is definitely a huge one in my experience as well. Speech isn't great at communicating visual detail. It's amazing how the moment you start drawing you can just see it click in the other person's mind.

I've never had a phone with a stylus before, but you make a good case for it!

The phone flashlight is absurdly useful to me. I think I end up using it almost every single day.

Another use that comes to mind is google lens. Really easy and quick translation, and it helps me figure out what various random items are called - thrifting finds or plants, for example.
