I use FreeCAD for both 3D printing and woodworking design.

I use Rednotebook for my personal journal, and it's mostly satisfactory.

I want to highlight a practical usecase for password management with open source tools. Keepass (gnome secrets on computers, and keepassdx on mobile) with syncthing syncing encrypted password files between the devices. Very effective so far. Passwords are synced seamlessly.

OpenRadio is a good one if you like radio and music in general. It has radio stations from everywhere and from almost every music style.

Syncthing (for obsidian notes, mostly. I know there are FOSS apps that do what obsidian does, but they just don't feel as good for my purposes).

I'm having a harder time thinking of proprietary programs I use. I guess the biggest offender is mobile apps. As far my computer goes, discords flatpak is the only one coming to mind.
