Items marked with \"Open-Source are open-source software and link to the source code. Items marked with \"Nonfree\" are nonfree (as in nonfree beer). Items marked with \"Nonfree\" are nonfree (as in nonfree beer) and will cost money to use.

\n\n

Author's note: Recently, I received feedback from you about the quality of some of the applications on this list. I have tested a lot of these, but not all. If you have any problems with the apps, please: -> head to the dev page (if available) -> make an issue for the dev there -> make an issue here so that I can consider whether I should remove the app from the list. Remember : Every piece of software has it's own merits, so there will never be anything like \"best app\" or \"selective list\" here, thank you.
