How can I backup the list of F-Droid apps I have installed on my phone right now so i can just import that list on another phone and don't have to install each app manually?

Thank you for your comments.

Neo Store, does show you all F-Droid apps and lets you export all favourites apps to an .xts file. I uninstalled few apps from my phone, but I wasn't able to import the "missing" apps from the list in the .xts file.

APK Kit lists all instated app on my phone, including Google play store and F-Droid, so this is not very useful (to me).

As for NeoBackup, I do need an app for a non rooted device

and Restic, is not that clear how to backup list of F-Droid installed apps and how to use it to restore missing apps.
