title: "Software I Use"
---

# Here are the programs I use on a daily basis

These are some great (mostly free) and open source apps/programs that I use (and you should too!)

## Desktop Programs:

- ### Operating System:

    I use [Arch](https://archlinux.org) btw

- ### Web Browser: 

    I use [librewolf](https://librewolf.net) on a daily basis but it's pretty locked down (I like that)
    so I use [Brave](https://brave.com) when I need to access any shit website that librewolf blocks
    or simply need a chromium based browser.

- ### Terminal Emulator: 

    [Alacritty.](https://alacritty.org/) best terminal.

- ### Image Editor: 

    [GIMP.](https://gimp.org) This is a no-adobe household.

- ### Video Editor: 

    [Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org) is pretty crashy but eh shotcut won't even work. 
    Also it's gotten much better since 2020 (when I first started using it)

- ### Screen Recorder:

    Do I even need to say it? [OBS](https://obsproject.com).

- ### Text Editor: 
    
    Recently switched to [Doom Emacs](https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs), before that it was[NeoVim](https://neovim.io).

- ### Email Client:

    [Thunderbird](https://thunderbird.net) because I'm too lazy to configure mutt/neomutt. (tutorial coming soon??)

- ### File Manager:

    I have both [lf](https://github.com/gokcehan/lf) and pcmanfm on my system but those are for noobs. `cd`, `rm`, `mv`, `cp` are the best things.

- ### Shell:

    [Fish](https://fishshell.com/) but I might go back to zsh idk

- ### Window Manager:

    [XMonad](https://xmonad.org/) is the best window manager and you can't prove me otherwise.
    If you want to see my config files (along with polybar and stuff) see my [dots repo](https://github.com/MikunoNaka/dots)

- ### RSS Feed Reader:

    I'm pretty new to RSS Feeds though I use [newsboat](https://newsboat.org/)

- ### MyAnimeList Client:

    Btw, I use [macli](/docs/macli)

## Mobile Programs:

All of these apps are on <https://f-droid.org>

- ### Operating System:

    [Project Sakura](https://projectsakura.github.io/) is a cool fork of LineageOS, it's more customizable and that's what I care about!

    Also I don't use GApps and (hopefully) never will.

- ### Camera:

    I use [OpenCamera](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera/) because the default cam on Sakura OS is horrible.

- ### YouTube Client:

    [Newpipe](https://newpipe.net/) is beautiful.

- ### Web Browser:

    Firefox for android is garbage, but [Firefox Focus](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/mobile/focus/) is somehow the best!
    I use [ffupdater](https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/) to download and update privacy respecting web browsers on my phone.

- ### TOTP App:

    [FreeOTP+](https://freeotp.github.io/) is a great authenticator app. Best alternative to Google Authenticator!

- ### Backup App:

    Custom nextcloud instance paired up with the official 
    [nextcloud app](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nextcloud.client/) 
    and [DAVx5](https://www.davx5.com/) to back up contacts.

- ### RSS Feed Reader:

    [Feeder](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/)

- ### Reddit Client:

    No longer use Reddit on phone but [RedReader](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.quantumbadger.redreader/) supremacy!

- ### Mastodon Client:

    [Tusky](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.keylesspalace.tusky)

- ### Email Client:

    [K-9 Mail](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fsck.k9/) is a really good email client on F-Droid!

## Other:

(i.e work on both platforms ig)

- ### Password Manager:

    [Bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com/) because it can sync between my devices.

- ### Cloud Storage, etc:

    [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) devs marry me!

- ### Matrix Client:

    [Element](https://element.io/) because I haven't really checked out other alternatives yet. Maybe I will, then see which one is better!
