What's the nerdiest app on your phone?

For me, it's an SSH client called ConnectBot. The name's a bit puzzling, but the app is really good!

Termux. It basically gives me a running Linux but at the moment the biggest use case is transferring files. I enabled static IP on the home routers and run sshd on them so that transferring files is just a SFTP call away. I find it quite useful in that regard. I don't need to worry about where the cables are and the interface is exactly how I am used to.

There's a python script someone I know has written to act as an alarm. It has been customized to their preference (eg. alarms are not sound files but the current time being spoken out (they really hate to track how many times they snoozed)) and works really nice. I haven't quite set that up but it's next on my list.

Of course I do get basic access to all programming language interpreters that I install. I can edit via emacs if I so wish. Essentially, it gives me a command line only Linux inside my phone and I underuse it drastically.
