Instead of Titanium Backup (which I paid for long ago and highly recommended back in the day), a more modern and mantained solution that has been rock solid for me is Swift Backup: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.swiftapps.swiftbackup
And for regular folder backups I haven't found a better alternative than Folder Sync Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full (Has a free version if you want to try it)
Photopills. If you do any kind of outdoor or landscape photography it's a must.
What does it do?
Shows where the sun and moon is at any given time, along with a bunch of photography aids.
A nice. I have golden hour+, which sounds similar, but I guess it's more focussed on the golden hour
Ah yes, it also has star-related stuff if you do astro, a useful AR overlay (so you can plan for shoots when scouting a location), as well as a bunch of useful calculators. The map feature is useful for planning outdoor shoots if you want to know things like sun angle, as well as shadow cast by objects. Lots of little, useful things!
Folder Sync Pro - if you have a NAS or extra server, you can upload backups from your phone to there for safe offline storage. I use it to hold my photos and Tasker profiles.
SMS Backup and Restore - Likewise, this backs up your SMS and call records, useful if you are needing to preserve records for legal reasons or otherwise. They have an IAP purchase for pro - I think
Solid Explorer File Manager pro - Hands down, this by far for me has been nothing short of awesome. Well worth the $$ for it. They use the Unlock file
(Solid Explorer Classic UnlockSolid Explorer Classic Unlock) for this. Or at least used to - to enable the pro functions.
If you have Android Wear - pretty much any of the watchfaces you desire can be there or even make your own with some of the apps there for it. :)

Sounds like a worse version of Syncthing.
If you're gonna be boating, Navionics is absolutely worth paying for.
Im in the same boat, Ive got every imaginable app thats useful to me but Ive got about $75 in rewards
Hey, me too. I just started to use their new SD MAID SE. Purchase of previous SD Maid Pro doesn't count, though, unfortunately.
I paid for the Gallery app because it's easier to navigate than Google Photos.
