Bear - beautiful writing app for notes and prose
Used Bear for some of the writing tasks, it is simple and elegant, easy to use. I love the simplicity of the app, tagging, linking, formatting, and organization are intuitive. It may be a little less powerful but does everything I need to do and cost less than other heavily featured apps.

Pexels | Free stock photos
Good variety of photos, I use it for some of my presos. Would be better if the photo size can be bigger.

VLC | Free multimedia solutions for all OS
This free video player is best I found. I used to install a few other players, everyone of those had annoying ads pop up frequently, I had to uninstall it when I didn't use it, and re-install when I needed to watch video. This is no longer the case after I found VLC.

Tor Project: Anonymity Online
Tor has been great. Only thing is that sometimes it is a little slow but this is because the data needs to be encrypted over the Internet, so understandable - comparing with that Tor is protecting your personal data, it is worthwhile.

Signal | Private Messaging
Good messaging tool, easy to use - similar as other messaging tools out there but better as the messages are encrypted.

WhatsApp
You can send messages and make phone calls for free. Even better that the latest version is now encrypted end to end. Only thing could be improved is that occasionally the phone calls has some delays.

WeChat
Great tool. I found it especially useful when travel away from home, WeChat let you communicate with family and friends anywhere with a wifi connection. So the old day of international roaming of mobile phones are no longer required.
So far, I have not encountered any issue with the app.
