VLC is a big one for me.
7zip
Godot
I cant believe it has a better user experience than unity, an app that has a 412 USD/month paid plan
uBlock Origin leading the pack by at least a furlong.
Adding the following that i have not seen mentioned yet:
Docker - I literally run most of my server programs with docker now. Home Assistant, Jellyfin, and many others.
Tiny Media Manager that I use to scraper and organize my media library
Tiny Tiny RSS to combine my news sites into one aggregator. I actually saw this post on it since Lemmy has RSS feeds!
Openwrt I run as my home router.
I2P but it’s still pretty clunky.
Nomachine I use as a remote desktop client.
RocketDock I still use on my windows desktop after windows removed the programs toolbar.
ImageJ/Fiji I use for image processing, it’s from the NIH, with a bunch of Java plugins.
Gluetun I use to run my vpn client
Kodi for multimedia
fuck Docker.
For those who don’t even know what it is, why?
Basically like a sort of mini-VM.
What it solves (for me) is dependency hell.No need to install a quadrillion dependencies and solve if two different programs want the same package but maybe different versions.
Instead of fiddling with that, the image isolates the components.
This way I could run 5 different web servers on different ports.Yes they complicate troubleshooting but the upsides are way more valuable to me.
For me it actually simplifies troubleshooting by a lot. No worries when messing around inside the container. Maintainers are looking at the same picture as you and can reproduce everything more easily.
Without docker I could never run all the services I am currently.
Emacs
Org-mode is life
And Orgzly for Android just completes it nicely
I like orgzly. But if you get a keyboard with a Ctrl key you can also run Emacs on android too.
Organic Maps
Organic maps is great bit I wish it had real time traffic data. For that reason I normally use magic earth instead.
GNOME Boxes, works much better than stuff like virtualbox and uses Qemu under the hood.
It depends on how you define “app” and “free”. But for free (as in beer) smartphone apps I really like.
- tidy
- Librera Reader
- these pre-packaged apks for the onnx text to speech engine which uses the piper voices that can be used in conjunction with the above Librera Reader to turn any compatible text doc to an audio book.
