Fusion360
Tried out FreeCad/Ondsel, and just couldn't get it to cooperate. Trying to do even basic changes would constantly result in errors/crashes. I spent maybe two weeks trying to make a single model. Then I tried making the same model in Fusion360 and was done in an half an hour. Granted, there is a huge difference in experience level here between these pieces of software, but still.
So I think my best bet for now is a jailbroken copy of Fusion360.
I would really like an open-source alternative to Facebook. The connection idea with friends via a social network platform I like, the bots and ads and force fed (propaganda) news I really don't like.
Plus, an open source Facebook would really hurt Zuck and that's also a win.
Snapchat and Google Docs are the only two non-FOSS apps I can't shake off.
It would be cool to have a Snapchat clone based on Briar.
Google docs because I don't trust myself with my own data, I always end up delteting important documents cause I save them to random locations when cleaning house. Having it all in once place, with autosync, search and a nice powerful mobile interface is really convenient.
Google Keep
My wife and I use it all the time for things like grocery lists, packing lists, etc. It's nice to be an able to collaborate in real time on a checklist, and I haven't found an app that can replicate that convenience.
personally for me it'd have to be remote desktop software, don't really need it myself, but being an SSH jockey, the day that i can do that but with remote desktop, and without it looking like a jpg, or needing to compile tigervnc specifically for it or some shit like that will be a good day for me.
I realize it's partially dependent on hardware, and that hardware sucks, so sometimes it just sucks. But SSH just works so well though.
Beeper
Technically this exists, right? It's just matrix with a bunch of bridges?
The app is closed source, deprived from element.
Canva.
Their feature set and functionality is great, but their vendor lock-in is really off-putting. Even just within their platform, it's really difficult to move assets around within workspaces.
Let alone edit graphics that you made on Canva and edit them elsewhere, say Penpot, for example.
Oblivion as there currently exists the Open Source Version of Morrowind
Tasker, Photopea, Perplexity.ai, Quick Cursor and A powerful alternative to Powerpoint. (I used to be a Powerpoint nerd)
It's the dumbest thing, but right now I just really want a better open source alternative to Advanced IP Scanner. Or I want someone to add a filter (especially by MAC) option to Angry IP Scanner. Whatever. I just want an IP scanner that can filter by MAC and works on Linux.
