Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

Blender. Maybe not everyone needs to try it but it it's great if you like 3D.

I can suggest everyone to try Bitwarden if they don't have a password manager yet. I use Pass now (because UNIX^TM^) but was a Bitwarden fan before.

Bitwarden is very good. And it is not getting hacked every year as Lastpass... (another free password manager).

I also saw that proton has launched proton pass as a password manager. Seems to also be free, but only the app, I think is open source, and not the server. It also works less well than bitwarden, being new it can be expected.
