Specifically (and for quick, satisfyning results), I can recommend this page:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/CoreApps
Core Apps have been developed to work on small screens, but perhaps not not as small as the Pinephone. Some need more adjusting. Still, they look very impressive.
Another extremely useful program/app that I have used over the last 20+ years of Unix/Linux support jobs is the text mode browser, lynx, which is available from the Postmarket repository.
Besides being a tool for quick text views of web pages (no javascript, or other obscuring add-ons to hide the core text), it makes an excellent file browser in a terminal session. Unfortunately it seems the version available from the Postmarket repo is seriously crippled in that it does not allow setting the option to view "dot" files - i.e, hidden from "standard" view with period/dot prefix character, but easily listed in a terminal command line session by using the -a option:
pine64-pinephone:~$ ls -la

Guess I will be looking around for an ARM version without that restriction to copy over...
