I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there's noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

Sesame Shortcuts. I know there are launcher with similar tools included, but I also use Nova Launcher and paid for it. I've been thinking to migrate to alternatives, but I haven't done it yet.
Microsoft To Do. The alternatives are incomplete, ugly or don't have the same capabilities. I'd gladly pay for any FOSS and Privacy respectful To Do app, but I guess setting up sync servers may be hard. I'll give a try for tasks.org again in some days.

I'm glad I don't get to say Notion anymore, Anytype.io is missing some features, but I can manage to live without them and Notion was getting worse with time.

Have you tried Obsidian? It’s not FOSS either unfortunately, but the sync service is astoundingly good and E2EE. Also, plenty of community plugins :)

Yeah, I use it for course notes and so, but it's kind of expensive for where I live, so I use it in pair with pCloud and a backup in other cloud.

Btw, if you say it for the to do apps, I've tried, but it just doesn't work for me as a to do hehe
