What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for? (lemmy.world)

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

Thanks for the advice, but, for now, I can’t picture myself managing a professional phone backup without a GUI.

Had it been just a tinkering phone maybe, but not my professional one😇

honestly it's no different than using a GUI, unless your place of work mandates a specific piece of software or something. It's not like you can't fuck shit up, but you can also do that with GUI apps too. I've fucked up more shit using a GUI than using CLI. That could change some day, but that's what backups are for.
