Full disclosure, they're available on Amazon here, but I'm hoping folks support their FLGS.
That said, the hobby boom during COVID really put a supply crunch on card supplies. I still can't find penny sleeves in stores.
The official app is terrible.
On Android, I'd recommend Sync -- Sync also has a universal content filter that'd work for hiding pulls posts.
Yo, I got into FaB a few weeks ago and didn't quite find any of the existing life tracker apps for FaB (or MtG alternatives) just right for me, so I made my own yesterday.
So far Android only, I'll try to get it on the App Store sometime soon.
Copying from my Play Store blurb:

mate I live for this thread lol
So I've been using a camera backpack to serve this purpose. They are usually quite small + can have slots for water bottle + playmat (where there would be a tripod carrying strap). And, the bag can come with compartment for small trade binder, 4x4, where it would be reserved for small laptop/notebooks.
something like this.
I have also been tempted by Quiver or Dex Carry Case; Dex would fit playmat and deck box. However, no room for water bottle + unable to carry my trade binder around does make it slightly less convenient. If you don't carry a trade binder around tho, then I do recommend the Dex Carry Case.
I used Futility but grew to hate it because they never added Tales of Aria heroes and I main Oldhim! So I made my own app :) I encourage you to check it out, and if you end up using it but have requests or feedback, feel free to PM me!

iphone users: It'll be available in a couple months. I don't own a mac, so I'm waiting to release it on the apple store until it's done, and there's still a few minor updates to push first
I have this one -- I like it for the versatility (it can mount a phone or webcam), but the arm may require a counterweight depending on your phone. It's also portable, which is nice.
I use this one most often, but it's $100 -- not the cheapest option by any means. But it's sturdy and doesn't require a counterweight.
YOUKOYI A16S Metal LED Swing Arm... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073VD4BXX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
has three different modes: cold light, warm light, natural light. u can also dim and brighten as well. :)
I use big-ass D-ring binders with Dragon Shield 3x3 pocket pages
It's perfect for playsets since you end up with 1 page that has triples of R,Y,B pitch variants of cards, and for the legendary/one per deck type cards I might or might not keep triples, depending on how I feel that day.
I sort all of the cards by the card # and that's worked out pretty well since LSS uses a pretty solid numbering scheme.
One of my binders has all of ARC+ELE, the other has MON and I'm waiting on more pages to organize CRU and WTR, but I suspect I'll usually be able to fit about two full sets per binder. Most cards are unsleeved, except for magestics/cold foils and up, which I keep in inner sleeves.
I've thought about keeping cold foil equipment in separate hard cases but tbh I think it's nicer to have them in the binder with the rest of the collection and only ever keep a handful of hard cases for the equipment I'm using in my current deck, since it'd otherwise get really bulky over time (with enough equipment).
