Highlights include IT-Tools for password/OTP generation, Omni-Tools for text utilities, ConvertX for file conversion, and BentoPDF for offline PDF editing (decrypt, compress, deskew, sign). Also notes Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and Calibre-web can run on unrooted phones, though system-port-dependent services may face limitations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
