Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they’re all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

    Some apps that I don’t understand why no OSS exists:

    • Teleprompter app that allows you to read a scrolling script while recording video

    • basic photo editor to crop, rotate, color correct, add text

    • basic video editor to crop, clip, and combine video

    • visual voicemail

    And just for fun, here are some OSS apps that are better than any non-free alternative: SD Maid, Firefox/Fennec, Aurora Store (OSS front-end for a very proprietary Google store), RTranslator, Syncthing, OSS Document Scanner.
