Link: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager

If you're already using App Manager from IzzyOnDroid repo, you will still get updates from there (which will be faster than F-Droid).

Notice: F-Droid uses it's own signing config to sign an app. So, if you're migrating from IzzyOnDroid to F-Droid, be sure to take a backup of your blocking rules first as you will need to reinstall the app.

SetEdit

SetEdit is a successor of 4A Settings Database Editor (also known as SetEdit) by 4A. SetEdit lets you view and edit certain Android settings which are useful for devices where these settings are hidden. It relies on a pre23 permission to edit some settings and therefore, it's target SDK is 22 despite being compiled with API 29. In newer Android versions, you may get a warning saying that the app may not work properly which you can safely ignore.
