Kodi—It can connect to a media source via FTP, so I was able to effortlessly connected it to my online storage to download shows and movies from it to watch on the fly, and on my TV no less. Without that, it'd be a huge pain just to get the file onto my TV.
SmartTube—It's an ad-free YouTube video app for Android TVs, and it has Sponsorblock included. You could say it's YouTube Vanced for Android TVs.
Discord bots—I've setup my own personal Discord server (no other humans allowed in it) and set it up with various bots that do things ranging from posting tweets/ posts from Twitter/ Bluesky to letting me know when specific channels have uploaded a new video on YouTube or gone live on Twitch. I've also got another bot monitoring some RSS feeds.
Can it so casting? My YT consumption isn't as high as for many people it seems but when I'm not at a computer I'm very likely to find something on the phone and make the TV play it. Then I'm reminded how bad the ads are and avoid it again for a while
It supports casting via the YouTube phone app (or YouTube ReVanced app).
It isn't available on my TV apparently. I guess I need to learn how to side load on the TV now

Sweet! Thanks for the recommendation, absolutely need to try that

AntennaPod
Signal
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Seconding AntennaPod. Used Stitcher and Podbean for a minute and it was frustrating that it usually took forever to resume a podcast from the widget. AntennaPod eliminated that for me. FOSS for the win!
I used podbean for a long time, then it started crashing regularly. AntennaPod has been great, and when I sent a request for a feature, they added it.
Blender, Gimp, Inkscape, OBS (open broadcast software), Linux distros of various sorts, openHAB, LibreOffice, Firefox (and plugins like uBlock), PiHole, VirtualBox, Notepad++, Paint.NET, VLC, 7-Zip, FileZilla…
I’m sure there’s more.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Home Assistant. Automation engine for home and have local control over almost everything "smart" at home.

Fucking entire Fedivere with No ads.
OrganicMaps, all the trails I've been to so far in the US are available for offline navigation. No need to precache via gmaps and pray it won't get deleted
Edit: OpenStreetMap which powers this is what AllTrails uses, but I'm not sure if they contribute back or not

Adding the following that i have not seen mentioned yet:
Docker - I literally run most of my server programs with docker now. Home Assistant, Jellyfin, and many others.
Tiny Media Manager that I use to scraper and organize my media library
Tiny Tiny RSS to combine my news sites into one aggregator. I actually saw this post on it since Lemmy has RSS feeds!
Openwrt I run as my home router.
I2P but it's still pretty clunky.
Nomachine I use as a remote desktop client.
RocketDock I still use on my windows desktop after windows removed the programs toolbar.
ImageJ/Fiji I use for image processing, it's from the NIH, with a bunch of Java plugins.
Gluetun I use to run my vpn client
Kodi for multimedia

firefox
considering the big monopoly of chrome based is not really free, it's paid by google or microsoft mining user data

I think Blender is a very honorable mention, especially since the team that makes the software has also used it to make some really impressive short films, such as Big Buck Bunny. Who knows, maybe some indie studio can use it to make some truly wonderful stuff (and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case).

Godot
I cant believe it has a better user experience than unity, an app that has a 412 USD/month paid plan
