Damn near every tool I use on PC, really. Audacity, OBS, VLC, all the random bits of software I need to run my jank-ass FBT setup…

Get outta here you Hedge Fund Manager! Leave our apps alone!!

I still can’t get used to calling programs apps

I use cygwin a lot. I fine it extremely convenient. Most of my personal software development is done in gvim and compiled in cygwin. I wven dosome of my professional work, particularly unit testing in it.

LocalSend, Immich, Signal, Aurora store, Radio Garden, Gray Jay, yt-dlp, and Bitwarden just to name a few

Home Assistant, not only an App but it changed the way i look at IoT/Smarthome and in that way it brings me a lot of comfort.

Wikipedia. Not an app but still deserves a mention.

Organic Maps. After switching to graphene, I quickly found plenty of apps replacing the “defaults” I had on stock android, however, a good app for maps was impossible to find until I stumbled over that one. Great UI, local maps, even has a navigation feature. Completely replaces google maps for me.

Fuck apps. Real people use programs.

A bit more niche, is Weasis - Dicom Browser for medical images. Alternative is also ImageJ which is used a lot in for scans too.

Linux

Kodi—It can connect to a media source via FTP, so I was able to effortlessly connected it to my online storage to download shows and movies from it to watch on the fly, and on my TV no less. Without that, it’d be a huge pain just to get the file onto my TV.

SmartTube—It’s an ad-free YouTube video app for Android TVs, and it has Sponsorblock included. You could say it’s YouTube Vanced for Android TVs.

Discord bots—I’ve setup my own personal Discord server (no other humans allowed in it) and set it up with various bots that do things ranging from posting tweets/ posts from Twitter/ Bluesky to letting me know when specific channels have uploaded a new video on YouTube or gone live on Twitch. I’ve also got another bot monitoring some RSS feeds.

Proton. Literally makes any of the big linuxes into the streamos people are waiting for
