Firefox, ppsspp, termux, VLC, Tachiyomi(SY), and KeypassXC/DX are coming to my mind. Probably there are a lot more. These are for android. Although they do apply to desktop except termux and Tachiyomi.

Edit: I haven't added the various FOSS tools as they don't really come in "App" Category. Some of them:

  • Linux kernel
  • git
  • gcc

+1 for Firefox and VLC. Always amazes me that such good programs are available for free. Remember to donate to FOSS projects, people!

Thanks for the reminder about VLC. I don't use it much any more, but back in the wild west days of audio/video codecs (some of which were paid), VLC would play everything.

VLC is still one of the most powerful video/audio player in existence.

I just wish it had a dark mode. All the fan skins are so bad and hide functionality. I just want the exact same UI but darker.

Saved us from media player market bloat (ui, market, microsoft, etc)
