Applications
Water Resistance Tester
Most of modern smartphones have cases that are protected from moisture and dust. But over time, they become covered with cracks and other damage, which makes the protection ineffective. This program allows you to assess how waterproof your smartphone is. It does this by taking readings from the built-in barometer of your device.

Obsidian
You may have heard of a note-taking method called Zettelkasten, where all records are linked by internal links. Thanks to this, notes over time turn into your personal Wikipedia.
Among the fans of Zettelkasten, the Obsidian program has gained immense popularity. It is an incredibly functional note manager that stores data in open Markdown format. It supports wiki links to posts, tags, attachment tables and more, and it's free too.
But Obsidian has a downside: it didn't have an Android version for a while. Now this drawback has been eliminated - the mobile application is already available for download.

Uncomplicated Launcher
You may have heard the expression "babushkophone" - this is a simple phone with large buttons, ideal for the elderly. Uncomplicated Launcher allows you to turn a regular Android smartphone into such a device.
This is an elementary launcher to manage, which has calls, messages, an alarm clock, photos, medication reminders and an emergency call button. Teaching your relatives to use this will obviously be easier than helping them understand the intricacies of MIUI settings.

Battery Indicators
This application will add an additional battery indicator to the screen of your smartphone, which will not only show its status, but also serve as a decoration for the display. For example, you can place a thin bar at the bottom or top of the screen to indicate the battery level.
Or add a circle around the camera if you have it embedded in the display. Or set a percentage indicator of charge, if your system does not provide such a function. There are a lot of settings in Battery Indicators - there is something to experiment with.

Duck souls
If you are a fan of really hardcore games, then you are probably familiar with the Dark Souls series, renowned for its complexity. Duck Souls is a fun homage to the series, an indie platformer with hundreds of levels, tons of enemies and truly masochistic difficulty. If the world of Dark Souls were inhabited not by the Hollow Undead, but by psychopathic ducks, then it would look exactly like this.

I am a journalist with a passion for technology and science. Digging into Windows settings, making my regular TV smart, and reflashing my Android as a hobby. I am also interested in space, history, zoology and watch a lot of movies. I love to talk about crazy fan theories and debunk pseudoscientific myths. I have a fondness for Linux (but not enough to use it all the time).
