Nice!

Some other good apps:

EtchDroid icon EtchDroid LibreTorrent icon LibreTorrent LibreTube icon LibreTube Markor icon Markor Xtra icon Xtra Etar icon Etar DAVx5 icon DAVx5 TrackerControl icon TrackerControl

Personally, I don't install any proprietary apps on the main Graphene OS profile. If I want to use proprietary apps, I can create another profile, name it 'Proprietary' and install Google Play Services there. In general, I would not recommend closed-source applications. The goal is to spend more time on the main profile and use open source applications.

Another thing I pay attention to is whether there are trackers in the applications. I hate it when there are trackers in apps, especially apps that claim to care about our privacy. Anything related to Mozilla contains trackers. Even the Tor Browser.

Also, maybe you can put an image in the list that looks better or remove the image entirely.
