What are the coolest (privacy respecting) apps you have?
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).

Everyone knows about VLC but I don't think many people know it has a really good Android app! I use it as my primary music app and it's great. Even has android auto support and a surprisingly sleek interface.

I'm assuming it doesn't work with Jellyfin or Subsonic, does it?

I haven't used those so I don't think so. But it lets you add music from local networks, and you can add streams from a URL (even supports youtube links, which is a way to watch youtube without ads without pihole or a third party app).

Huh, TIL - I've been using VLC for ages on my phone and on my tablet, but I never knew this. I just tried it - open Youtube app, select random Video, share, select VLC, wait a bit and it plays!
Mind blown

I haven't used VLC on my phone. I prefer MPV on both desktop and mobile (it's the media player used in JMP), and it works with the jellyfin app just fine!

Jellyfin app (at least for Android) can play in external video players.
