The one that the most other people found useful: Remote Control Collection. It's an app that allows you to control your PC or Mac from your Android or iOS smartphone while connected to the same network. It also was available for Windows Phone and BB10 back in the days.
I've built it about 10 years ago for myself because I was too lazy to get up from the couch to control my media PC and the existing apps were all terrible to use. Turns out many people found good use for it, over 10 million across platforms by now.

Thanks for sharing. The white text on light green background is very hard to read though (Google sheets app).

Sure. This wasn't the only reason and I had a meeting with my team lead talking about all of them.

I worked for NBB as an Android Engineer about 5 years ago. While refactoring the analytics / tracking services (5 different providers in the app), I noticed that customers credit card data was leaking to analytics providers. I informed my PO about this, but he decided that this wouldn't be worth the effort fixing. I left the next day.

Couldn't agree more. Hollow Knight is easily the best game I've ever played, topping even Zelda Breath of the Wild.
So much to explore, so challenging and so interesting lore. I'm really looking forward to Silksong.

You can, in fact, do BLE scans in the background on iOS. It's tricky and requires some workarounds, like basically everything related to background tasks in iOS.

I'd wish for a higher maximum word count in the Thank You message section.

Bdrive[1] is end to end encrypted and implemented as RAIC of different cloud storage providers. It's currently a B2B only solution provided by the Bundesdruckerei (German federal printing office).
Disclaimer: I work for a software engineering company related to the Bundesdruckerei.

It's playing mostly chillstep and slow electronic music with decent or no vocals.

You could check out the Remote Control Collection app. It will allow you to use your phone for controlling the mouse, keyboard and media players.

Newton Mail subscription is 50℅ off at the moment, which I find is a great deal for their service.
