Apps I use
This is a list of some applications I use. Maybe someone will find something new and useful here, or suggest me some better alternatives. This color means the app is not open-source.
I rated them based on how much I recommend them:
- One star
- It sucks, but I don't know better alternatives. If you know any, please tell me.
- Two stars
- It's alright, but there might be better options.
- Three stars
- I'm pretty sure it is the best app of its kind.
