We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let’s change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:
- Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
- No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
- Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let’s create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!
ShareX, one of the best Screensho/cast productivity tool, edt tools, OCR, QR codes, scrolling capture, color picker…, storing locally, uploading captures to hosts, sharelink in clipboard. Complement with right click extension for Firefox and Chromium
Sadly Windows only
https://getsharex.com/
https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX
linux fork (not production ready yet) https://github.com/BrycensRanch/SnapX
It’s not easy, ShareX depends on NetFramework components, which Linux don’t have, it don’t even work well with Wine, because of this until now all intents are not very functional or even abandoned (ShareNix (early alpha), ShareXin (archived)…). It’s better to use Screenshot tools for Linux, even if they all aren’t so complete like ShareX. Architecture differences between Windows and Linux are very big.
