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).

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".
