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.

Umm.... It has darkmode. Atleast in Linux can't say about windows.

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

VLC + autohotkey = game changer. I use it every day

I'd replace PPSSPP with RetroArch
