Universal Paperclip

TransMac. It's a tool to create MacOS install discs and USBs. It works off of a limited time free trial then you are supposed to pay.

It works great but I'd prefer something FOSS.

Vectric Aspire for my CNC work.

Waze

Two categories, broadly: any professional software, with deep features and professional quality.

I know theres audacity, but that's really not an acceptable saw.

I know theres a few cad apps, but no professional I've ever met finds the good enough.

I know gimp, and I use it, but no artist I know does; they all pirate Photoshop. Literally every one.

I like having audacity to record audio. I like having gimp to fuck with shit. I like having various cad apps to bang out organizational tools to print. These things do generally fit my use case. But I still have to help people pirate everything else and god the DRM is do fucking annoying.

Abd here's the more esoteric ask:

Not so much programs as features; Why aren't we really going all in on shit we can do that they can't? Features capitalists would never add, never support? Instead I find open source software always playing catch-up, and theres no reason it has to.

s/one/thing/

Substance Painter. Material Maker will get there but its development has stalled quite a bit.

Suicide booth

It may sound boring, but I would appreciate a good open source alarm app for android.

Dating app. An app that help people metting each other based on their interest and purpose local activity. :)

A clean redshift application for Android, like redmoon. I found something but it's not quite there.
