Colornote Notepad, checklist and reminder Android Free Notes may be simple text or checklist with reminders, it synchs across multiple devices, also has a calendar. I use the checklist for many things but in particular shopping lists - everything on the list is checked then when I run out of something I uncheck it, much better than trying to remember to add things to a paper shopping list. ColorNote

Do you watch much stuff on Youtube? Here are a couple of tips.
Stop the advertisements. Adblocker Ultimate, is a free add-on for all common browsers. When browsing it stops most ads from being displayed but the huge benefit is Youtube. I can watch any Youtube video and not get served advertisements by Youtube. Of course if the video has promotions embedded by the creator they still appear, but it is easy to skip forward past them.
Download Youtube content I found the Add-on called Easy Youtube Downloader Express. Download any video with a single click. It adds a Download button to the browser. There is a free version but it only gives low 360p resolution (or if a paid member has downloaded the same video in the last 24 hours). If you donate (minimum US$10), you get to choose the resolution you want (even 1080p which normally requires a paid premium Youtube subscription to watch). Available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera on Windows, Linux and Apple.
Warning! There is no information on how long the donation will give premium access. And of course Youtube may block whatever they are doing to allow it as they tend to do from time to time. But in that case I expect they will develop a workaround to whatever change Youtube makes.
There is another more technical and feature rich open source standalone solution ..... yt-dlp. I fiddled with it and it is absolutely stacked with numerous features to get exactly what you want. But I found it a bit too technical for what I want.
Edited to remove unnecessary content about what I previously used and highlight the warning.
