Termux
Holy hell. So much it can do. Right now I am using it to transcode MPEG2 videos to AV1. With CRF 25, Preset 5, with a 480p30 video I get 5fps in Termux on my older Snapdragon 860. Meanwhile my laptop's Ryzen 3 3200U does 2fps.
You can run different server applications. Some are supported natively (e.g.: Tinyproxy, Privoxy, Squid HTTP proxy, apache2, nginx, navidrome, OpenSSH, TigerVNC, rsync, xorg-server, xwayland, xrdp,...) and some can run in proot (e.g.: Jellyfin, NextCloud). If you already have some web server and want it public, there's cloudflared too, so you can access it via Cloudflare tunnel.
RTL-SDR driver
Allows connecting RTL-SDR on Android and starting RTL-TCP server.
SDR++
The best general-purpose SDR app available on Android, GNU+Linux, Windows and MacOS.
KDE Connect
Nicely connects phone with a computer. Data transfers, remote control, finding your phone, synchronizing notifications.
LibreTorrent
Great client for Android.

There's more, but those I don't use daily, or have already been mentioned.

For iOS folks, a-shell and iSH can do what termux is doing on Android. Ffmpeg, most userland Linux things.

Both are open source.

Yeah, I remember iSH being on TestFlight and just being blown away. Like what it could do on an iPhone 6S as an app.

Still is. Still is the best of its class, too. Spectacular work.
