Featured software

This is a list of applications I use on a daily basis. My main intention with these is to prove for myself that there is a good open source alternative to most common applications usually found on a regular computer. If an application of the list is not free to use I will mark it in italic. The list is split into Windows, Mac OS and Linux for simplicity.
