Helix Editor: A fast, post-modern text editor that combines modal editing and syntax awareness built in Rust for programmers.
Helix is my favorite editor. It's like Vim, but less obtuse because you can see the text you're about to perform an action on before you take it.

gitolite for when a shared git folder is not enough but you don't want a full gitlab. Provides SSH-based access management for a bunch of git repos.

You should know that there is no longer an official syncthing app and a clone has taken its place. It's buggy but it works.
Permissions are a bit tricky to set up but I believe the clone app does it correctly by asking for full file browsing permissions.
Just to be clear, there is no official app for Android (and, I assume iPhone). If you are using SyncThing on desktop or laptop computers, there are downloads at the official syncthing.net site. On Linux, it should be available from your distribution.
-
I can also recommend Bitwarden which is a hosted password manager (enabling e.g. automatic sync). The commitment to FOSS is not as great (there have been some controversies AFAIK) but self-hosting is possible.
A little trick for people who are worried about putting business / work passwords in web-hosted managers such as Bitwarden: put just the username in Bitwarden, and put all the full information into KeepassXC.
Bitwarden will recognize the site and fill in the username - meaning you are at the correct site and are not being phished. Then, you can fill in the password from KeepassXC. This gives the benefits of browser-based managers while keeping more sensitive passwords (and recovery info) local-only.

I love syncthing, but never managed to get permissions to work right on any of my android phones. I chalk that up to phone vendor fuckery though.
I use Syncthing-Fork on my android phone, which seems to work fine.
-
I love LocalSend, the only downside is that both devices must be on the same network. So it won't work for sending a file to someone else at a bar.
What if they connect to your hotspot?
