What is the single coolest app you ever installed

Nerdvana...

Termux non-root terminal + Linux shell with installable packages and daemons.

apt update
apt list
apt install irssi
apt install dnsutils (dig)

Install optional Termux:API then 'apt install termux-api' to access hardware and Android APIs from command-line like getting GPS coordinates, take a picture, text-to-speech, get battery status, etc.

Some cool paid add-ons too like floating shell window from home screen to have power of Linux at your fingertips and widget to run scripts from home screen for automation.

More Linux awesome sauce. Have one of many full Linux distros with desktop environment running on your phone that you can SSH or VNC to locally or remotely from another device.

Instructions

Tip: The installation process doesn't create the image directory so create the directory first with a file manager if you plan to put it on, for example, SD card since it can be up to 4GB in size per Linux distribution.
