<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I use google for a lot of things and I have an android phone. I use google music, google apps, google drive, google mail, and even google plus. Below are some non-google android
apps that I find useful along with playstore links to them. I hope you find them useful as well.
<br>
<br>
OverDrive Media Console - I use this once in a while to see if it can download e-books I am interested in onto my device. If it requires e-books to be downloaded to a computer and transfered via USB to the device, I simply don't read them. There isn't a version
of the over drive media console available that works on my home computer. I prefer e-books that do not have DRM rolled into them since they "just work" for me.

<br>
Time Recorder Pro. I use it to keep track of time. It backs up to google drive and also adds time worked to a google calendar. It supports multiple tasks too. I used the free version for a while before going with the paid version.

<br>
<br>
open VPN is another useful app I use <br>

<br>
<br>
FBReader - I use this to read my DRM free e-books and my DRM free magazine subscriptions<br>

<br>
<div>KeePassDroid I use for tracking passwords. I also use KeePassX on my computer. They both can read the same encrypted database file. KeePass is an opensource password safe. There are ports of it available that will run on many things. (windows, Linux, Mac,
Android, IOS, Blackberry, etc) <br>

AndExplorer Pro file manager - decent file browser. I used the free version for some time before going with the pro version.
<br>

<br>
<br>
AndFTPPro - I use this to move files around from my phone to my computer. It can connect to a computer via ssh/sftp which makes it a breeze to use with Linux. It also has a file sync feature. I used the free version for a while before purchasing the paid version<br>

Microsoft remote desktop - I haven't used this yet but I have heard it works really well. Its on my list to try out and may replace the 2x Client and thought it was worth a mention.

<div>Hello folks,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd love to know what your favorite tools are for managing your work, your life, or some combination. They can be web-based, or apps (if they're apps though, I want only those that have an Android version too, please). They can be things you have to
install to a computer, even. Examples of productivity services like Evernote, or Don't Forget the Milk are good. I'm on the lookout for new ones I've not heard of, or ones I've long forgotten. They can be strictly for library work, or for managing some
other aspect of your existence. They could be for creating content for your blog or website. Whatever your favorite tools are, I really want to know!<br>

<div>Can you please share?<br>
