I’ve been an Android user since pretty much the beginning, and in that time I’ve used a lot of different apps . While some of these apps come and go out of my life, there are some staples I’ve consistently kept around for a decade or more.

To be honest, this list would likely reach into the two dozen mark if I included every older app I still use. That said, many of these apps are well-known staples like Spotify, YouTube, Google Keep, and the list goes on. Below are just six apps that I’ve used for about as long as I’ve had Android that aren’t necessarily as mainstream.

I first signed up for Just Watch nearly a decade ago. It was originally primarily for work-related reasons, but I soon found I liked it well enough to keep it around.

The app not only makes it easy to find new content, but it also works great for finding specific shows or movies. From there, it gives you a list of where you can stream it and whether it’s free or an add-on cost. There are even ways for Just Watch to immediately launch you into the correct streaming service once you pick an option. The recommendations are also pretty spot on for Just Watch, especially if you spend enough time feeding it data on your viewing habits in the first place.

While I personally think it’s at its best if you have a Pro subscription, not everyone wants to pay the roughly $4 per month for the service. The good news is that the free tier is still super useful; you just don’t get the same granular search capabilities, and you’ll have to put up with ads.

As someone with ADHD, I’ve long used Notion as a sort of “second brain” solution for keeping track of some of my thoughts, journaling, keeping important reminders, and much more. While I tend to use Google Keep for quicker notes and one-off lists, Notion is something I repeatedly come back to at least every few weeks or so to review old reminders and add new things to my personal organization databases.

I use Notion for planning out my daily goals, keeping track of important reminders, tracking my exercise progress, recipe organization, and so much more. It’s only gotten better over the years as it has added new AI features to the mix. I don’t use it just for personal administration and organization either. As someone who writes fiction and non-fiction work as a hobby, it’s also great for writing organization and creating a worldbuilding database.
