Scribus
replaces Adobe InDesign
Desktop publishing with real print chops — CMYK, spot colors, and press-ready PDF/X output, unlike anything else free.
Super Productivity
replaces Toggl Track
Task manager with built-in time tracking, Pomodoro, and Jira/GitHub integration — for people who bill or timebox their work.
VSCodium
replaces Visual Studio Code
VS Code without Microsoft's telemetry and branding — the same editor, community-built from the MIT source.
Xournal++
replaces Microsoft OneNote
Handwritten notes and PDF annotation with a stylus — the OneNote-for-ink replacement.
Zotero
replaces EndNote
Free reference manager with browser capture and word processor integration — the academic standard EndNote alternative.
