Snapchat and Google Docs are the only two non-FOSS apps I can't shake off.
It would be cool to have a Snapchat clone based on Briar.
Google docs because I don't trust myself with my own data, I always end up delteting important documents cause I save them to random locations when cleaning house. Having it all in once place, with autosync, search and a nice powerful mobile interface is really convenient.

Google Keep
My wife and I use it all the time for things like grocery lists, packing lists, etc. It's nice to be an able to collaborate in real time on a checklist, and I haven't found an app that can replicate that convenience.

Technically this exists, right? It's just matrix with a bunch of bridges?
The app is closed source, deprived from element.

Oblivion as there currently exists the Open Source Version of Morrowind
I don't see anyone talking about it here but I'd dream of an open source alternative to AndroidTV/Apple Tv. Firstly because ATV is ultra-dependent on Google, and secondly because the interface is unclear and not really pretty.
Today I've switched to Apple TV, which is much better in terms of UX, but the OS is too closed and sideloading isn't possible...
So I hope to see some sort of CalyxOS / LineageOS for Tv arrive one day!

Discord. And no, Matrix/Element isnβt an alternative.

Canva.
Their feature set and functionality is great, but their vendor lock-in is really off-putting. Even just within their platform, it's really difficult to move assets around within workspaces.
Let alone edit graphics that you made on Canva and edit them elsewhere, say Penpot, for example.
It's the dumbest thing, but right now I just really want a better open source alternative to Advanced IP Scanner. Or I want someone to add a filter (especially by MAC) option to Angry IP Scanner. Whatever. I just want an IP scanner that can filter by MAC and works on Linux.
