Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I’ve really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.
- Xonotic is an open source FPS with an active community. If you liked Quake 3 and Unreal, then I can highly recommend checking it out. It’s got lots of active servers, and perfectly captures old school FPS vibes.
- Calibre is a great way to manage ebooks
- Logseq is a great way to organize notes and ideas
Bitwarden for sure! It is certainly the easiest way to increase security on all your accounts by making extremely secure passwords. Plus you can self host it if you want!
What’s that mean, “self host”?

This makes me laugh
DaVinci Resolve. It’s insane to me that you can get that much video editin functionality for free.
Edit: I somehow missed the open source-part. Nvm me.

That’s not even free, and more importantly not free and open source.
Oops, I mentally skipped the “open source” part. It’s definitely free as long as you don’t need the premium features. But maybe that doesn’t qualify as free?
Free is a loaded word and in FOSS it means “free as in freedom” as opposed to “free as in free beer”.

How do you exit zim?
deleted by creator
i had switched after losing a D&D campaign in onenote, then not long after switched from windows to linux (Zim being compatible with both helped with that a lot too). I have a memory problem (in my carbon, not my silicon) and I use Zim for to do lists, a journal, note taking of course and several other things. i had some issues a few times but overall it’s what just works for me. i use it for worldbuilding D&D campaigns and i’ve started building/recording my actual real life world with it too. love it!
What the… fuck? How did I not know of this? I only knew of ZIM as the compression format for Wikipedia for Kiwix reader.
Yo zim is dope
Except CMYK 😔
Hopefully next year
PhotoPrism
Try this one although it is not free but grunted worth money you spend.

CA Office AutomationNavidrome, be your own spotify
uses less than 50mb of ram.
+1 for Navidrome. I have just set it up in a docker for serving grateful dead shows. I may set up a second navidrome for other assorted music. I am experimenting with Clementine, also free, as a front end for playing the music.
i mostly use feishin for that, at least on pc.
Obsidian for Knowledge base, note taking. https://obsidian.md
Edit: TIL not open source. sorry. They even had a Github and all. I wasn’t paying attention. I have to move now :(
IIRC it is not open source.
Sadly Obsidian is not open source or free as in free speech. For individuals it is free as in free beer though
Yeah seconded that it’s not FOSS but still a great app. Logseq is a good FOSS alternative for a knowledge base, and I really like Zettlr for long form md writing and note taking too.
You might find this video on open-source notes apps interesting:
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
- Hugo has been a phenomenal tool for building light-weight, static websites as I’ve been working to drop WordPress
- KMyMoney is a life altering personal finance manager that has made budgeting and saving so much more achievable
- KeepassXC is what I use for all of my passwords and important information relative to accounts
- Aegis is also a tool I’ve been using for 2FA after seeing the benefits of that kind of model
For what it’s worth, there’s several static site generators that use WordPress as a backend but generate static HTML files. You might be interested if some of those WordPress sites are client sites, as the clients could still use the WordPress admin panel but the actual site will be static.
Aegis is good but I personally prefer Authenticator Pro. It’s also open source, and supports watches. It’s so much more convenient getting 2FA codes on my Samsung watch. Aegis is very principled and refuse to use non-open-source libraries. I really appreciate that stance, but unfortunately some of Google’s libraries for building WearOS apps are closed-source.
GNU/Linux and the PineTime
Its very cool and I love the minimalism. I love, that I have so many choices. I can choose what OS I want, I can choose which Watchface I wanna flash and so on.
Qbittorrent and LibreOffice
Yeah I’ve been a uTorrent person for years, but I think two years ago or so I just went “fuck it!” Because the constant ads (and also horny af ads) were doing my head in. So highly recommend Qbittorrent.
