Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

PC:

  1. Libreoffice -- the best, most customisable and powerful office software available
  2. Onlyoffice -- alternative for less-advanced users who are used to the UI of contemporary MSO
  3. Zotero -- great bibliography manager useful when writing scientific papers: lets you collect books, journal articles and all other types of sources, automatically finds full text PDFs online, fills in metadata and then inserts dynamic citations in thousands of different, customisable styles. Also generates bibliographies. Works with LO, MSO and GDocs
  4. Caprine -- clean Facebook Messenger client (web wrapper based)
  5. TeXStudio -- my L^A^T~e~X editor of choice; integral (ha!) when formatting maths-heavy documents

Android:

  1. Cloudstream

free streaming app, works with SFlix, Sodastream, PH and other legally dubious streaming providers. Takes some trickery to set up though. 2. Osmand

OpenStreetMap client with offline (optional online) navigation and plenty of plugins; loads of customisation 3. Material Files

nicest file manager, especially for rooted devices 4. Showly

freemium open-source TV and film tracker. Syncs with Trakt.tv 5. Simple Gallery

out of all Simple Apps by this developer, this is the only one which is in fact superior to its alternatives. Highly customisable, powerful, lightweight gallery app
