What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:

Niagara Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitpit.launcher

It's georgous and I've grown to love the list view for apps. As phones are really tall, it makes more sense to lay out apps vertically instead of horizontally. It's search function is great too.

My work uses google workspaces, the agenda widget is so useful for quickly seeing a list of calendar events and weather.

+100 for Niagara!

I used Niagara for years, paid for it since I used it so much as my launcher. I switched to Kvaesitso on F-Droid recently, and haven't felt the need to switch back!
