Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

I'll go with FreeCAD. I've known about it for a while and tried it about 5-10 years ago but have given it another look as I try to get back into CAD stuff and hate the restrictive licenses of commercial products. It has come a LONG way and is far more intuitive to use than it used to be.

Have you heard? The release candidate of 1.0 dropped just a few days ago. It looks very interesting.

I had missed that. Thank you!

That is great to hear, definitely seemed like FreeCAD was REALLY basic in the past, but there is such a big gap for a really fully featured FOSS Cad software!
