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

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

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.

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.

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).
