We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let's create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

Eternity for Lemmy (somewhat.. inactive? can't tell though) for Infinity Reddit App but for Lemmy, as it has the best UI for me out of all others, IMO and Quillpad, for note taking purposes, I love its notebook system, and the look of it.

candle, an android app that turns your display into a flashlight-like utility. very useful on tablets without an actual flashlight. I have a shortcut to it on my lock screen on my phone, and I use a red background to see when my wife is sleeping.
