Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

Tasker: I haven't used it, but I've seen useful automations over the years from people online and I would probably use a good FOSS alternative.

Newer versions of Android make it difficult to automate certain things though, I find root helps to get around that in some cases
