This is the first I've heard of Termux and now I'm curious what you use it for. Like are you SSHing into other environments?

SSH, and also when you're on the road and want to write a simple Python script to process something, or do something with your sensor data logging. Termux has a Python API to access sensor data, it has numpy, it has requests, so you can do a lot.

Here is a popular CLI app to manage passwords. I use it on my desktop, laptop and phone.

You don't need Termux for that, there are native clients for Android, I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.msfjarvis....

There are native clients, but can you use git to sync the encrypted passwords with your other devices?

And that was just one example. You can also use python as a much better calculator, share files over wifi with a web server etc.

For me ssh to access my main Emacs session is a big part of it but I also run some shell scripts and CLI tools and services written in Go. ssh-ing back into the phone for file transfer is another important use.
