I’m sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven’t hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it’s a productivity tool that’s boosted your efficiency, a unique game that’s kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that’s catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.
What are some Android hidden gem apps that you’ve used a bunch or think it’s really cool/interesting/useful?
Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.
Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Gravity Screen.

Screen turns off when you put your phone into your pocket. No more pocket dials etc.
Might not work on newest devices.
I remember that one! I used it for quite a while on one of my old devices
Did you replace it with something? Or maybe newer devices are a bit smarter and it’s not necessary.
Yeah that’s mainly the reason. Most new phones (I think for at least 5 years now?) Have the function to detect being in a pocket. Mainly through the brightness sensor.
No, I don’t think I replaced it. If I remember correctly, I think I ended up having some small nitpick with it, so I uninstalled it or did something different. I still remember it fondly, however.
yeah this app is not compatible with this device
I did this with automate, it checks the proximity sensor, then it checks device orientation against set values (so it knows its upside down)
It’s just fun for me to make this logic myself in automate, no real reason to do it this way unless you just WANT to.

Nice.
Yes, automate is good.
My Realme phone will probably kill such an app though. It kills tasker even when told not to.
