I was curious about Lingodeer but I found out it was only free for the first tiny bit so I wouldn't really be able to learn very much & I'm avoiding Duolingo because of the "AI first" statement.

If you just want a single app to focus on for now, Renshuu is probably the best option. It has different flashcard stuff, grammar info, games.

Some others I think are worth mentioning: Kanji Kohii (foss Kanji mnemonic and SRS app), bunpro (collects grammar resources), JPDB (combines dictionary, flashcard decks, kanji in a cohesive way).

There are a ton of other great resources too. Check out Sakubi's Guide, A Year to Learn Japanese, and DJT's guide. Others too, like Tofugu's or moe's. Read through one and you'll get tons of go-forward ideas.

Eventually you'll wind up wanting to use Anki and immersing with listening and reading. This post is already too long, but definitely keep those in mind as you make your plans.
