For me it would have to be Tasker. It's an automation app so not necessarily
something I open and use all the time but it's constantly doing SOMETHING. 

It check's whether or not music or podcasts are playing and if so turns of
audible notifications (if it's connected to my radio in the car via
bluetooth), changes my wallpaper every day, I can control any of my smarthome
devices or events via voice or widget, turns on wifi and automatically
connects to a specific network if I open the app for my dashcam, turns on my
VPN if I'm not connected to the home network, can do anything on my phone via
voice control (don't use this very much though except when I am driving),
cleans my Telegram cache and download folder every week, turns off my alarms
if it's my day off or vacation according to my google calendar (my days off
vary every week), checks for birthdays in my contacts and gives me a
notification if someone has a birthday that day, allows for my Pixel phone
volume button to function like the "slider" on Oneplus phones, checks the
status of my PC so it knows if I have it on, or sleep mode, can turn the PC on
or off as needed, lets me take scrolling screenshots (not available on most
stock Android phones), lets me set an Emergency notification that upon click
shoots a text to my wife and starts video recording in 60 second increments
and will auto upload those recordings. A million other things that can be done
with it. 

Obviously I am an Android fanboy. Don't find anything wrong with IOS. Apple
makes perfectly good equipment. I just prefer the endless customization with
Android.
