Call tips
This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.

While looking at the map, a ruler is drawn out the front of your position-arrow. Helpful for seeing the arrow more easily.

A text editor / notes management thing.
While pretty awesome, it’s really really not for me because of some fundamental ways it thinks about data. I’ll continue to use Geany with a bunch of text files.

Read/write filesystem support for Android.
While it doesn’t offer pure read/write access like you’d expect, this lets you mount things. You can use any other file manager (I use several most notably Total Commander and Ghost Commander), and it prompts to download the file.
Has a free version, but I don’t know what the difference between that and the pay version is.

A really straightforward and damned-fast file synchronization tool.
It might have been great, but it was abandoned. Reproducibly nonfunctional.
