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
On my laptop:
On my Android phone:
Cross-platform:
If we can count FOSS modifications of proprietary apps:
addendum: I'd like to use Matrix (via the Element client) and Signal more, but most of the people I know are on Discord and WhatsApp instead.
Matrix (element on mobile, cinny on pc), materialious (linux app for invidious, alternative yt frontend), gzdoom (foss engine for doom & mods), luanti (a minecraft-like engine for playing minigames and shit), zen browser (firefox fork with a pretty skin), xfce as desktop environment, wine for playing windows games
Never heard of Zen, I'm just using vanilla Firefox on my Linux laptop. Will check it out later :)
On my mobile with GrapheneOS:
More FOSS apps on my notebooks with Fedora, but not on a daily basis.
Oh boy! Here goes

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?
Sorry, I think options like Firefly III for that might not be sufficient for small business, but it was the only great Foss personal finance software for a long time.
Odoo is the gold standard for business. I think they also have a business finance app? It isn't free, but the cost is reasonable.
Otherwise, I use Leantime for project management. If you work in a project-based or contract-based company (like consultancy or design house), then it has a lot of project & product features including time tracking with a plugin. Not financial though.
I'll check those out. Leantime might cover one aspect of what I'm looking for. Thank you for the names.
The apps I actually use daily:
The apps I wish I had time to use daily:
Edit: I forgot:
VS code is technically not open-source since it has many proprietary blobs on top. VScodium is the fully open-source version.
I don't know how much can Revanced be considered open-source except for their Revanced manager app since you still use the patched versions of the proprietary Google apps.
Sorry for being pedantic.
Resprite doesn't seem to be open-source when I look it up.
Sorry my bad, libresprite was the fork I was thinking of.
Oh, I see now :)
How's your experience with Moonshine / Sunshine? Latency on local network?
On a home network I was having audio sync issues with RDP. When I switched to moonlight/sunshine that sync issue cleared up.
Its streaming resolution isn't as dynamic as RDP but once its setup it feels pretty close to running locally (on my home LAN).
Not OP, but in my house we're very happy with it. Will even work nicely over WiFi, though you do have to manually turn all the settings down for that.
Tried it once over my phone's hotspot, had no issues with latency.
Dosbox (magic dosbox for android) Scummvm (scummvm for android) UnCiv Obsidian Obtainium URLCheck
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.
I made my own curated list of open source software. Most of the software on there is stuff I use.
Wow, that's cool, thank you! I'll definitely explore it, and I think I'll take a few apps for myself😁
On Android :
My most used:
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.
Every app is open source if you can read assembly.
— someone someday on internet.

A lot.
Desktop/Laptop
Phone
Voyager for Lemmy, Thunderbird email client, Firefox browser, Librera FD ebook reader, Mercurygram for Telegram, QUIK SMS, Material Files, LibreTube
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 vidir for visual bulk renaming and vipe for editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2 seds) --, and so on.
NewPipe, Seal, Spotube, AntennaPod basically
Edit: FireFox, uBlock Origin
Firefox, syncthing, antennapod, organic maps
Firefox, Matrix chat, Proxmox, Homarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseer, Nextcloud, Bazzite, Lemmy, QBittorent, Immich, Home Assistant, Keepass, Thunderbird, and Debian.
If it’s free, it is for me.
Librewolf - hardened, demozilled Firefox
Newpipe - I forgot that Youtube has ads
Organic Maps - I dont even have gmaps installed
Keepass XC/2android
Orion viewer - for pdfs
Thumbkey - unique keyboard I have installed for fun, but I got used to it
I also wish I could use foss comunicators more.
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.
on android it's RiMusic, Thunderbird, Firefox, Feeder, Breezy Weather, Showly OSS, PipePipe, and Simple Keyboard. all available on f-droid
yep. Browsing F-droid is a good way to find random apps, too. Like Audio Spectrum Analyzer is fun to play with.
