Recommended & Useful Modules
I recommend to use these modules for every game.

The Cypher System Compendium expands the Cypher system with compendia containing all of the over 1200 abilities and all the cyphers, artifacts, and equipment from the Cypher System line of books.
See this short demo on how to create a character using the CSRD Compendium:

Bar Brawl allows an arbitrary amount of customizable resource bars for tokens. If you have this module installed and activated, this modules is pre-configured. PC tokens have their Pools added automatically, so that all three Pools have a bar on the token. NPC and Companion tokens have a health bar pre-configured. In the module settings, numbers on the bars can be activated.

Drag Ruler shows a ruler when you drag tokens around the map. This is pre-configured to show the Cypher distances:
| Distance | Immediate | Short | Long | Very long | Beyond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Color | blue | green | yellow | red | black |
These are modules specifically developed for the Cypher system. Install these modules only if you really need the functionality. I recommend playing without them a few times and see if you are missing something these modules add.

This modifiers the combat tracker with Cypher-specific functionality, such as added stats to each combatant.

This adds custom PC sheets with atmospheric sheet backgrounds to the Cypher System.

This adds small quality of life add-ons, such as automatically defining cyphers and artifacts as unidentified, a GM Intrusion button to tokens, or a trade button for equipment.

Building upon functionality of Nice(TSY) Cypher System Add-ons, this adds automation for character creation based on journal entries with information about the chosen Descriptor, Type and Focus. This is an advanced module, with multiple other modules as requirement and customization of your character requires deeper understanding of how this module works. I recommend using this module only if you have a specific need to automate character creation. Using the CSRD Compendium and dragging & dropping abilities and equipment (see the video above) might be easier and more flexible.
These modules are nice to have. In my opinion, they improve the gaming experience with Foundry VTT playing Cypher, but they are by no means necessary.

This module adds 3D dice to Foundry VTT.

This module allows you to export your characters to the official character sheet. Use the official form-fillable Cypher System character sheet. Please note that you need to enable the Cypher system in the module settings before you can export your sheets.

This module adds all (or almost all) icons from game-icons.net to the user data in the file picker. Almost all icons in Foundry and the Cypher System game system are from there. You can use these icons and it will blend right in!

This module lets you define certain steps for the Measurement Templates. This can be used to define immediate, short, and long distances. Use these settings (or corresponding ones when using feet instead of meters):
