Nipto: split household chores & cleaning tasks
There are a plethora of apps that allow you to split up expenses in an effective and easeful manner. Developer House & Home has managed to combine the essence of that with household chores tracking app. The result is an application that goes by the name - Nipto. Since the moment I've found it on Play Store, I've been using it extensively.
The key idea behind this app is to divide household chores and make sure that it is done but in a fun manner. Players will receive in-app points for each chore they will do and every Sunday, a winner will be announced. For instance, if you live with your family or friends, then you can easily divide household chores and cleaning tasks.

Bitwarden Password Manager
Recently, I started using password manager applications since I wanted to keep my credentials a bit more secure and not easily guessable. I have nearly tried all the popular password manager solutions out there but decided to settle down with Bitwarden. What's special here is the fact that it is completely free and has no restrictions whatsoever.
Bitwarden is an open-source password manager meaning the build code is public and anyone can contribute to making the experience better. Since the app is open source, you don't need to worry about the security and privacy of your data. Of course, there are few downsides here as well such as lack of folders in folders and autofill feature.
Considering the service is completely free, these two should hardly be a deal-breaker. If it is, then you can always switch to some other options out there.
- An open-source password manager that is completely free
- No restrictions whatsoever
- cross-platform support
- AES-256 bit encryption, salted hashing, and PBKDF2 SHA-256
Price: Completely free (an open-source project)

ProtonMail - Encrypted Mail
Since we're on the subject of privacy and security, it's a good time to talk about another application that I love. Based in Switzerland, ProtonMail is an application that offers free encryption email with the aim to protect your privacy. Since the data servers are located in Switzerland, all the user data is protected with strict Swiss privacy laws.
Without spending any back, you can get yourself a secure email address that you can then use for all your communication. Even though the service is free, it is still available on all platforms - Android, iOS, and web version. ProtonMail directly competes with Gmail which is known for accessing data since it survives on the ad-revenue model.
Here are some of the key features of the ProtonMail service:

Pika! Charging show is quite an interesting app that brings a cool charging animation to your smartphone.

The app will automaitcally kickstart the animation when you will start charging your device. There's no need to manually open it again and again.
It is worth mentioning that the list of animations are limited for a free user and to enjoy the entire library, you'll have to shell a couple of bucks.

Mini-ism for KWGT
If you're new to the world of Android customization, then you might have no idea about KWGT. Well, it is a 'kustom' widget maker that allows you to add some custom widgets to your homescreen or launcher. You can either create your own or use the ones created by the community. We're going to talk about a widget pack for KWGT that goes by the name mini-ism.
As the name suggests, the app offers minimal widgets for your Android smartphone. The app offers a plethora of widgets to choose from and all of that for free. There is no hidden charges or in-app purchases - it's completely free. Persoanlly, I love the calender widgets that this app offers. Again to use this, you'll need to have a Pro version of KWGT widget maker app.
While you might have to tweat the widgets a bit to make it suitable as per your setup, but hey! it's free so no complaints. It is worth noting that this app is currently at version 6.8 which is the final version meaning no new widgets in future. The app has 200 widgets that you can choose from which is a lot. Overall, a must checkout for those who're looking to spice their homescreen up.
Price: Free
Downloads & Ratings: 100,000+ and 4.1 stars

Kitty Letter
No! It's not Kitty Litter - it's Kitty Letter. As you might have already guessed, it's a word game in which you use your power of vocabulary to beat the opponent. From the gameplay experience to visuals, the developers have managed to excel at everything. You can play the game with stranders or friends online. If that's not your jam, then there's a single player campaign as well.
There's no concept of coins or leveling up in the game so it would be like simply playing and destroying the opponent. One thing to note here is the lack of individual level as it makes harder to find a good opponent since you can be matched with a newbie. This would not only ruin the experience for the newcomer but also for the experienced player as well.
Price: Free (with some in-app purchases)
Downloads & Ratings: 100,000+ and 4.1 stars
App page: Download Kitty Letter from Google Play Store
