                                  Dino (for desktop) pairs nicely with Conversations for Android (mobile).

                                    emacs, the text editor. it's so powerful and customizable that I feel listing any feature would do so many others a disservice

                                    And also (n)vim, if you want an app that does one job and does it well.

                                      Or Proton VPN if you can't/don't want to pay. (like me)

                                        We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

                                        1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
                                        2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
                                        3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

                                        Breakout71

                                        I could not believe I didn't find this fun free gem sooner. I'll let the description from F-Droid explain the details:

                                        This is a roguelike twist on the original Breakout formula:
                                        The goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels.
                                        Coins appear when you break bricks.
                                        They fly around, bounce and roll, and you need to catch them with your paddle.
                                        At the end of the level, you get to pick upgrades.
                                        There are 50+ different upgrades that impact the gameplay in various ways.
                                        Many upgrades will impact your combo, that's the number of coins spawned for each brick broken.
                                        Your "combo" is displayed on your paddle. Your score is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.
                                        Oh, and don't miss the ball, you don't have extra lives.

                                          screen

                                          a gnu until that let's you run a persistent session, even if you log off. log back in and reattach your screen and whatever you were doing is still running.
