Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

On my PC

  • Rednotebook for journalling and Tomb to easily encrypt it through the command line

  • Librewolf because manually making tweaks to Firefox was kind of tiring

On my phone

  • PokerTH because I wanted to learn to play Texas Hold 'em without micro transactions and a required online connection

  • AntennaPod because I dislike using Spotify for podcasts

  • Aegis because it was easier to transfer authenticator codes. I think Google Authenticator now allows for local backups and exports

Edit: Actually the coolest (but least useful) has to be brow.sh. I'll attach an image but essentially it lets you run a browser through your terminal in a way that's a little more indepth than apps like Lynx.

In order to really see the extent of what it can do you really need to see how it handles video playback.

brow.sh

Wow! That's crazy! I never thought I'd see video playback like that on the terminal! Also, how are you liking Tomb?

Love it. I wrote some custom scripts to basically combine it with anything I wanted an extra layer of security on and didn't want to manually go through and use a program like Veracrypt

The commands are also humorous and easy to remember. When you close a Tomb file for example it says something along the lines of "Your bones can now rest in peace".

Alright, I saw their webpage earlier today actually and though it looked cool, so I'll have to give it a shot!
