I'm curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don't know about everywhere

ChildIDFile. Creates a secure file of your kid's information that lives only on your personal device but can be shared with police quickly. Hopefully you never need it

These have been around for quite a while, but I recently learned about clipboard managers. I haven't met someone who uses one, perhaps because it is an inconspicuous tool. Regardless, I love being able to quickly paste text that I use frequently!

I'm still testing them, so I can't really say "this one's the best", but here's one: https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/

Brain Waves for binaural beats

Chafa - I can turn pictures in ANSI art for my terminal

Syncthing - A godsend for me and I can't believe how easy it is to set up and have it just work, I was almost disappointed when I was setting it up expecting issues and then the mf just works perfectly fine without issue

Tailscale - Very useful to remotely ssh to my computer(s) even from my phone

Termux - terminal on android

This one you may have heard of and it's not exactly niche, indie or small but I'll add it anyways just in case: Too Good To Go - allows you to get cheap food and save it from going to waste. I use it a lot when I can't go to the university cafeteria and don't feel like cooking

Data Jar: When you use iOS Shortcuts this is a great way to store persistent simple data with iCloud Sync

I use YouCut to condense short porn vids into very short highlight loops

Lots.

Spectroid: a realtime frequency analysis of sounds from microphone (Fast Fourier transform)
The Powder Toy: a falling sand sandbox, where you can play with and mix and react various elements.
Sketchbook: app to draw, lots of pencil styles

I'm not sure whether they fit the "indie" category, tho.
