What apps have you been using this year? Have you found new apps to fill a gap in your previous open-source use?

What is something that you wish had a good open-source alternative but does not at this time?

If we're talking PC applications, I have been starting to use Strawberry Music Player a lot more than before for the audio files on my desktop and laptop.

For android, it's a tie between the 2 most used apps outside of Voyager: Auxio and PipePipe.

Auxio messed up some things a long while ago, causing some of my songs on my SD card that would previously work perfectly in app to be unable to display how much time is left in a song, select specific moments, or even how long the audio file is in a very rare case. But overall just works fine enough for my local music playback needs.

PipePipe is nice enough. If yt Revanced refuses to let me play a video while in "incognito" mode, then I can just boot it up in this NewPipe fork. Also nice for the very niche time I wanna watch a video from NicoNico/NicoDouga ( Japanese video hosting platform ) because the person has the upload on there and no other official way of viewing it.
