Hello, I’d like to know your top open-source apps that you use every day. Here are mine:
Signal AntennaPod RadioDroid Which ones do you use most often?
One many of us use but I don’t see listed so far is the Signal protocol.
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.
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.
Voyager for Lemmy, Thunderbird email client, Firefox browser, Librera FD ebook reader, Mercurygram for Telegram, QUIK SMS, Material Files, LibreTube
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😁
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.
-
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.

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 andvipe
for editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2sed
s) --, and so on.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.
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.
Try futo keyboard. You don’t even have to download a proprietary blob to enable gesture typing.
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.
Dosbox (magic dosbox for android) Scummvm (scummvm for android) UnCiv Obsidian Obtainium URLCheck
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.
Firefox, syncthing, antennapod, organic maps

NewPipe, Seal, Spotube, AntennaPod basically

On my Android: Fossify Gallery & Calendar, Thunderbird Mail, Eternity for Lemmy, AntennaPod, OSS Document Scanner, FUTO Keyboard, Gallery, KDE Connect, Moshidon (client for Mastodon), Next Player, Obtainium, (I wanted to have Logseq but I prefer Obsidian so I left it out), Swift Notes (I’m trying to get into).
On my Windows laptop: OnlyOffice Suite, Betterbird (Thunderbird, but better), FluentCast Podcast Player, FluentWeather, GIMP, Inkscape, KDE Connect, (I wanted to have Logseq but I prefer Obsidian so I left it out), Screenbox (VLC but modern and sexy), QuickLook, ShareX, Tenacity (Audacity fork that apparently is less controversial or something).
Damn, I didn’t know Screenbox exisited. I’ll start using it on my Windows desktop
Nice.
I was just looking for an alternative to the standard gallery on Xiaomi, thanks!
Welcome 😁. That’s how most of us started.
