Professional/Power apps for Android?

I'm curious if anyone's come across a list of "power" or "professional" apps for Android. I mean things like Termux, Audio Evolution, or PowerDirector, which provide functionality that you would normally need a computer for. I'm being purposefully broad so that I can discover more cool apps, but generally I mean things aimed more for power users (like PowerDirector vs Premiere Rush).

Not sure if this fits your category but here are a few FOSS apps I have:

  • SuperImage for upscaling locally using your phone's GPU;
  • Image Toolbox to convert, crop, resize, do background removal (by hand though, so nothing fancy like Magic Eraser), apply a bunch of filters, draw on a sketchbook, encrypt any(!) file, edit/remove EXIF data, pick colors, compare two images with a slider, generate a palette from an image;
  • Squawker to follow (without an account) multiple Twitter/X accounts as if they were RSS feeds with the ability to group them (cool when you're trading and need a bunch of news sources grouped by sector, but it depends on Elon not messing around with the Twitter layout again as otherwise Squawker will also need to be updated);
  • Quillpad for Markdown note taking.

Hey, Image Toolbox seems quite useful. I was initially scared when I didn't see much other than the previews on the play store page, but after finding it's GitHub repo I calmed down. Hopefully I don't forget it's installed since some of these features seem great!

Image toolbox seems pretty cool! I've switched to Joplin for my notes but quillpad seems nice too

If you want to get real deep into automation on your phone, check out Tasker. Complicated but there's a ton you can do with it

Can't even use Wi-Fi controls on macrodroid because it requires a companion app that they haven't updated to work on 64bit Android versions 💀

I use an app called Signal Generator to diagnose analog audio issues (I work in broadcasting)

I work in studio recording, so I have a similar app!

We use a siglent for actual calibrations though.

Yeah for sure, using proper test gear is necessary. But sometimes I'm just trying to do something quick and dirty and injecting tone from my phone is good enough. I also do some audio gear restoration at home and it helps there. Did a big work over of an old Teac reel to reel deck and being able to inject tone was so handy (without stealing gear from work)

Imagepipe is both an excellent meta data scrubber and image compression tool that lets you find a good balance between image quality and size so you can send that picture you took through text or email within the 100kb data limit cap

Luma fusion is really good. I have done 3 about 10 minute long video projects in it. But I highly recommend either a phone with active stylus support or a tablet.

Tasker and KLWP.

With these, you can replicate the functionality of almost any app.

Takostats. It provides an overlay where it shows fps, cpu use, clock speed, temperature, power usage, etc. It can also record performance characteristics of your apps in a neat graph too. It requires shizuku or root to function.
