Voyager for Lemmy, Thunderbird email client, Firefox browser, Librera FD ebook reader, Mercurygram for Telegram, QUIK SMS, Material Files, LibreTube
Firefox browser, misskey as my SNS. On Android: Komikku (a tachiyomi fork), element X matrix client; on my desktop: rnote for note taking, fractal matrix client.
One many of us use but I don’t see listed so far is the Signal protocol.
On android, GrapheneOS, AntennaPod and Tempo are probably my top ones. On my desktop, Firefox, tmux, mpd, ncmpcpp, gonic, neomutt, qbittorrent, weechat, mc, btop, Lagrange and emacs probably round things out for me outside of base OS stuff. OS side, my desktop has Arch Linux and my laptop runs OpenBSD. Bitwarden across platforms.
I use GVIM everyday.
I frequently use CentOS because that is what the embedded system I work on runs.
I use cygwin regularly professionally and at home. Identifying specific software within it is tough, but I definitely use grep and g++ all of the time.
My most used:
- self hosted Matrix server with Element client
- Jellyfin server and clients
- self hosted Radicale server for my family calendars
- self hosted Joplin server with the Joplin app on all my machines and devices for my notes
- Navidrome
- Firefox
- tasks.org with my self hosted nextcloud
- all the fossify apps on my phone
- audiobookshelf server and client
- GNU/Linux (various distros across different machines)
- Voyager for Lemmy
There’s a bunch more that I can’t think of that I use, but the above list is the stuff I rely on and use every day.
A lot.

If I donated $5 per month to each of these projects I would be broke 😂
Looks like a great list, but I can’t tell what a lot of them do by name alone.
Can you recommend any open-source desktop personal/small business finance software?
Every app is open source if you can read assembly.
— someone someday on internet.
On android, I guess, it’s smth like: heliboard, mull, eternity, tubular (a newpipe fork), antennapod, feeder, simplex, element and slightly patched mercurygram.
As for the desktop, Firefox, keepassxc, anyrun (the app launcher) and cosmic-term would probably be the GUI apps I use most often; occasionally neovide if I feel like drooling on those sick cursor animations, mpv if I want to watch stuff without distractions, or kicad if I’m into making some electronics-related pet project. Other than that, my workflow is mostly terminal-centric, so the fish shell, coreutils, neovim, moreutils – mostly
vidirfor visual bulk renaming andvipefor editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2seds) --, and so on.Which browser do you use KeepassXC on? I’m having trouble integrating it with any other browser than Firefox. Tried to integrate it with Brave on Fedora and Mac, lost hours and achieved nothing.
I don’t use browser extensions with it and just copy-paste stuff, unfortunately. Also it’s mostly a failsafe in case my vaultwarden instance goes tits up
I see. Okay. Thanks.
What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn’t? I’m also curious about neighbours, as I’m still using gBoard and I’d rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.
Try futo keyboard. You don’t even have to download a proprietary blob to enable gesture typing.
Tubular has sponsor block too.
Do you mean Heliboard? It supports gesture typing, but you need to import the library you want.
It would gBoard’s autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I’ve now installed it with the glide extension and… it’s great! Thanks for the reference!
Thanks. That Heliboard comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I don’t really use glide typing, but in case any one’s curious: scroll a bit down under this section on Heliboard’s Github and you’ll find the instructions on how to install the proprietary library. You’ll also find a link shortly thereafter that leads you to the repo where you can download the needed library.
Neat little feature I wasn’t aware was available for Heliboard. Cheers.
Mull, Mihon, Anytype, FlorisBoard, Librewolf
Anytype isn’t fully open source unfortunately. Only the sync protocols are.
Here is a short list.
Pc: Cachyos(Preformant linux distro based on arch),Cinnamon (fork of Gnome 3),Librewolf (web browser)
Android phone:F-Droid(Appstore),Clipious(YouTube client but network is nonfree),aurora store(replaced Google play store with this and network nonfree),Iceraven (Web browser,Can be hardened as much as mull.),
Cross platform: Localsend(Airdrop for any device),Vlc media player
Yeah that’s it,here is my major apps I use
