Play a clone of Tetris

Tetris has suggested efficacy in attenuating development or severity of trauma and it seems to have a beneficial ongoing cognitive effect also.

Don't get Tetris™️, get a good paid version that lets you buy it and doesn't show ads or track you after buying.

PhyPhox app. Let's you access every physical sensor your android device SoC has access to (at least for most major manufacturers). Especially on high end phones, they include a huge array of sensors from accelerometers to magnetometers to high accuracy air pressure barometers. Plus it includes a lot of processed sensor outputs, like rudimentary range finding sonar, audio frequency spectrums, etc... And it's free!

A lot of the base sensor values can also be accessed in debug mode - albeit without much of a UI, but it works in a pinch.
