Share your essential non-otome apps here!

I am only able to speak for Android apps myself, and don't know if there are any iOS equivalents since I find it impossible to search the from iOS app store online I guess because I don't have iTunes. Sorry!

Vixey's Essential Android Apps

  • #1: Fast Reboot
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en
    You know how your phone runs better after restarting the device? This tiny app simulates a reboot for the same effect. Apparently the paid version also has settings to run a refresh every time you unlock your phone from standby, which sounds pretty neat. I can only vouch for the free version though, which has no settings. It doesn't even open anything when you click the app icon. All it does is invisibly work its magic when you click and you're good to go. My phone would be a brick without this app, and I can only hope it will do wonders for you as it does for me! I probably use it twenty times a day, usually freeing about 250 mb of CPU/RAM/whatever each time. Before I discovered this app, when my phone would become unresponsible I would have to either restart the phone or wait it out. Now all I have to do is wait it out long enough to load back to my homescreen so I can tap this icon. Once the icon lights up, I know my phone will be cooperating again very shortly.
  • #2: Twilight
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux&hl=en
    I would not survive playing otome games in bed without this. You know how your phone is so blindingly bright and hurts your eyes when you turn the lights off, even if your display is dimmed? Or do you have trouble falling asleep after being on your phone in the dark? It's because our phones (and computers) use a blue-hued light, which shines more brightly and keeps your eyes awake. Twilight corrects this by displaying a red hue, which you can customize completely to your liking in redness and brightness. Your eyes will thank you.
    Warning: The one caveat is that your screenshots will come out as you see it - red! You can either toggle it off to screenshot (did this for a while, but it was a pain) or you can use image editing programs/apps to fix it back later (I do this now, atleast for my editing app of choice the 'auto fix' always does the trick to fix the redness.)
  • #3: Advanced Permission Manager
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.pmaster&hl=en
    If you're on unrooted android and don't agree to the permissions an app or app update requires, you're out of luck you either have to accept it anyway or not install it/not update it. I've tried a few of these apps to try and remove the unwanted permissions from apps, but very few work with unrooted phones or are free or work well. This one I loved so much I actually upgraded to the paid version.
    The free version only lets you change 10 apps, but for most that is enough. Note that the app can only change permissions on non-system apps, and that removing some permissions may break the app. But it will show you which are the system apps you can't change, and you can easily reinstall any app that stops working after a change. What this does is remove the permissions and reinstalls the app without those permissions. Most of the time for me, however, it has worked successfully. As I said, I loved the app so much that I got the paid version, which lets you change as many apps as you want, and also keeps track of which ones you have already changed (I quickly lost track in the free version and maxed out to 10 @_@ I suggest you keep a list for yourself which I did not)


Well those are Vixey's recommendations for now! Hope you enjoyed and let me know of yours~

Ah, actually I meant more like listing the apps you can't live without... otherwise I would go on and on with more of my favorite apps ^^;
I'll change the topic title or it can be merged if that's preferred

Sorry I just got excited to share and didn't think to check if it already existed :sweat:

I use Darker to dim my screen. Darker allows me to adjust the level of brightness I want. I can easily pause it whenever from the statusbar. It has a color filter with multiple colors and intensities to choose from. My favorite feature is the option to "Dim Capacitive button lights(experimental)." I like that it prevents the buttons from lighting up all the time. I found that annoying especially at night. The one downside is that it needs to be disabled when installing apps not directly through the app store. I don't know if Twilight would have the same capabilities.


ES File Explorer. I can't do without it. I use it all the time to find and manage my files. How else can I quickly move my ss to the external sd card?

Smart Alarm Free. I got this because my device doesn't play my songs to the end but only one minute. I like that after I set the time and save the settings, there is a quick notification saying in how much time from now the alarm will go off.
