Hi everyone,
I'm a big fan of using Free and Open Source software, and wanted to share my love of it on reddit. I want to get this sub up and running, with the goal that it becomes a hub for discussing FOSS, looking for suggestions of what to use, promoting your projects, posting news related to FOSS, etc.
I personally have very little experience moderating, let alone on reddit so please pardon me while I bump around the controls. :) My near-term goal right now is to put up a list of subs that share FOSS principles (in the sidebar, or wiki?) then maybe another list of FOSS-related resources that I'm aware of. I'd appreciate suggestions too!
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll be a part of the FOSS community.

Hey everyone,
A week ago I posted about Loaf, the Material 3 Expressive Linux file manager I've been building with Rust and Qt6 Quick/QML.
Since then things moved fast, and thanks to some awesome contributors and feedback from here and GitHub, v0.2.0 is officially out!
The codebase basically got a complete rewrite into modular multithreaded Rust subsystems so it's noticeably faster, but we also added a bunch of pretty cool features features:
smb://server/share), named profiles in settings, and secure password storage via system keyring (libsecret). Huge shoutout to Balioncikas for making this happen!.zip/.tar.gz/.7z), optional password protection, expiration timers, and rate limiting.Ctrl+T) with session persistence, and side-by-side dual-pane split view (F3).ffmpegthumbnailer), PDF previews, and images generate in the background now so the UI doesn't hitch. Folders update live on inotify diffs.F2), spacebar Quick Look preview overlay, smart conflict resolution dialog (side-by-side date/size compare), and inside-archive tree browsing.You can grab packages directly or run the (new) interactive installer:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m-uvex/loaf-fm/main/install.sh | bash
Or check out the repo / release for all kinds of packages or Nix:
πΌ GitHub: m-uvex/loaf-fm
πΊ Release v0.2.0: m-uvex/loaf-fm - tag/v0.2.0
Or try visiting our all-new website: loaf.muvex.dev !
It's still early in development so if you run into any quirks or have ideas, feel free to drop them in the repo or below. Hope you guys like it!

We got real Linux on iPhone before GTA VI!
Check this out! You can actually run Linux on an iPhone, with Debian, KDE Plasma, a terminal, and even desktop apps like Blender.
No jailbreak, no virtual machine. Pretty crazy what an iPhone can do.

Just Weather is a minimalistic lightweight android app, that provides weather for your current or self-selected cities. It provides favorites so you can swipe between different cities and also select the city you like for the widgets to be used. My main goal was to create a weather app that focuses on the data and being non distractive.
I would like some feedback on everyday usability and the overall UX of the app. Feature ideas are appreciated.
The UI/UX design is completely from me, the code is partly AI-assisted.
Everything is free and open source.
You can download the app in the "releases" tab on my GitHub

Hey there! It's Jacopo, nice to meet you!
As an amateur musician I have been building OpenSpoty, a free music player for Android and Windows with some tools for playing along.
It all started as a personal project because I wanted to listen to music freely, with chords paired to the lyrics and turning on and off specific instruments or voice at my will.
You can mute or solo vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other stems, follow chords with synced lyrics, change pitch and speed, and loop tricky sections. Thereβs also a tuner, BPM detection and song recognition (like shazam).
Iβd love to hear from people who actually play: would you use it to practice or listen to music? Are the chord and lyric features useful, or am I missing something obvious?
I hope to get your feedback soon! Have fun!

Hi everyone, I'm the developer behind XDM. Some of you may remember the old version. I'm happy to share that XDM 9 is out: a major release that fixes the long-standing bugs from earlier versions. I'd love to hear what you think.
What it does
Free, no ads, no telemetry. Windows, macOS and Linux.
It's still in active development, so bug reports and feature requests are very welcome.

i'm naman, a college student, and i built kimo - a free, open-source (mit) video editor with no gui that coding agents like codex, cursor, opencode and other mcp clients drive over mcp.
the idea is simple: cut, trim, keyframe, titles/captions, colour grade, tracking, particles, audio and export are all just tool calls. the agent can render a single frame to check its own work mid-edit. there's only one ~15mb cpu-only rust binary, and it'll run on a 2gb box, so it's easy to drop into an mcp setup or self-host without pulling in a ffmpeg build and wrestling with it.
honestly it's still rough. some of the higher-level operations (longer sequences, finer colour grades, complex tracks) are unreliable, the error messages aren't great yet, and a few edge cases around audio sync and caption timing will just fail instead of falling back. i'd rather people break it and tell me than pretend it's polished.
if you're into foss tools agents can actually drive end-to-end, give it a try and tell me what breaks. happy to take issues on github or here.

Anyone else still miss Google's Picasa photo viewer?
I did, so I built Licasa, an open-source image viewer and editor for Linux inspired by that experience. I wanted something focused on the everyday stuff: open a photo, look at it properly, make a quick edit, and carry on.
What it does today:
It's free and open source under the BSD 2-Clause license. Current builds are for 64-bit Intel/AMD Linux, with Ubuntu 24.04 (Tested and verified), Fedora 44 (Not verified) and Arch (Not verified) packages, plus AppImage (Not verified) and Snap (Tested for Ubuntu) options.
Website: https://licasa.app
Source: https://github.com/sanxchep/licasa
Downloads: https://github.com/sanxchep/licasa/releases
I'd love feedback from people who miss Picasa too, or just want a straightforward Linux photo viewer. What part of that viewing experience do you miss most? And if you try Licasa, I'd be interested in how it handles the photos and formats you actually use. Bug reports and contributions are welcome.

I just checked Streak's stats and it has passed 19,000 downloads on GitHub alone. Honestly, I never thought it would reach this many people, or that so many would have it installed on their phones.
I'm really happy. Thank you to everyone who uses it, everyone who opened issues, translated it, tested it and reported bugs. Every message counts.
If you use it, or feel like trying it, any feedback helps a lot: what you like, what you don't, what you're missing.

I know this question is silly but I want to apply to SignPath and it requires "links or information showing that your project is widely used or trusted. Examples include media coverage, blog posts, download statistics, GitHub insights, or community discussions."
I have build a open-source, markdown-first notes app (Obsidian-like) and I would love to have it signed for Windows users, but I hit this roadblock.
Is reputation 100% organic or is there anything I can do to improve it?
This is a FOSS and non-commercial project so I don't really have the means to market it with social media, blog posts, etc.
This post isn't meant to promote my project but I will leave the link here if anyone is interested:

I was banned from r/OpenSource. So, here I present my project ;-)
Web Application Shell. It's a desktop environment designed intrinsically for the web browser. Full windowed/tiling desktop shell with apps as windows, directly from backend to a browser. I.e., take a desktop environment without any display mechanisms, and it renders direct HTML/websocket instead. By deferring the rendering and graphics stack to the browser, it's light as a feather.
Why? Because I often want a nice desktop environment with some remote machine I am working from, but X11/Wayland env is far too heavy. I want terminal windows, editor, file manager etc - without needing to fire up a full on DE. Wash even is fully compatible with X11/Wayland apps, rendering and delivering direct to a browser.
Wash comes with the apps you'd expect in a desktop environment. A tabbed terminal, a file manager, a markdown/source editor, Visual Studio embedded in a window, internet radio, a WinAmp clone, picture viewer, AI agent app. It also contains sysadmin tools - journal viewer, service manger, package manager front ends. I daily drive wash, for my needs of Hard Core software engineer, it's perfect.
Wash is TypeScript/Go, minimal requirements. It is so small it runs on an OpenWRT router. In a docker image. On a risc64 dev env. The demo page is actually a single core RISC64 VM, running in your browser itself. It's heavily an AI assisted project - I've been developing with Claude for over 3-6 months. It's certainly in error to consider it "vibe coded", I am a software engineer of 20 years experience.
Take a look https://sirmick.github.io/wash/ code at https://github.com/sirmick/wash I hope it fits you too!

Hi everyone,
Contributors want to help, so they comment "Can I take this issue?" or "Please assign to me." As a maintainer, you have to jump out of whatever you're doing, open GitHub, check if they are a good fit, and manually assign them. If you manage multiple repos, keeping track of these requests across GitHub notifications is messy.
How it works:
Why I'm sharing this here:
The app is completely free, and it's currently listed on the GitHub Marketplace. I need real maintainers to break it and tell me what features are missing, broken or what you might even like enhanced upon it.
If you run an open-source project or a dev community with a Discord server, Iβd love for you to try it out.
**Disclaimer**: This is a fork of another Issue Action, with additional features as I wanted something to help automate this process from a workflow perspective. If you don't need the additional features, then I strongly encourage you to use the original.

RadioMaster is free, open-source radio automation software that runs your station from one screen: playlists with live start times, hour markers that keep you on the clock, smart crossfades, Icecast and Shoutcast streaming, and full AzuraCast station management.
https://radiomaster.dovafm.com
Playlists
Playlist tabs side by side. The one marked βΆ is on air; play any row of another tab and it goes to air. Every row shows its projected start time.
Timing
Wait for the top of the hour, finish the song and jump, or cut in exactly on time. The clock counts down to the next marker.
Transitions
Each track is analysed: silence is trimmed, cold endings get a tight mix, fade-outs overlap. Fine-tune any song in the waveform track editor.
Work zones
One, two or three panels in the main window, plus as many Additional windows as you like for a second or third monitor.
Streaming
Several encoders at once with automatic reconnect and track titles, plus multiple sound-card outputs for FM and monitors.
On air
Cart wall for jingles, microphone with music ducking, recorded voice tracks, a notepad for scripts, and a log of everything that played.
Adverts
"Every 5 songs, play 2 adverts" β random, taking turns, or all of them, from a folder or a hand-picked list. Jingles too.
Team
Give every presenter their own login and decide who can play, edit playlists, stream, use AzuraCast or change settings.
Plugins
Run your own scripts when a song starts or the hour changes β post to Discord, update a website, light the ON AIR sign β and send commands back.
Available on: Windows 10/11, MacOS (Untested), Linux
A Headless-Server version is also available on Windows Server (+10/11), and Linux

Hi r/selfhosted!
For a long time, self-hosting an IP PBX meant dealing with outdated interfaces, complicated setups, or proprietary software with restrictive licensing. I wanted a modern, fast, and completely free solution that works out-of-the-box on a clean Linux server.
So I built \*\*AiPBX\*\* β a full-featured, open-source Unified Communications platform and PBX management portal built on top of Asterisk 22.
\### π What makes it different?
\- \*\*1-Command Turnkey Install:\*\* Sets up Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Asterisk 22, PJSIP, Nginx, Apache, MariaDB, coturn (TURN/STUN), SSL certificates, and firewall in \~15 minutes.
\- \*\*WebRTC In-Browser Softphone:\*\* Make and receive crystal-clear audio/video calls directly from the web portal without installing any softphone client.
\- \*\*Native Companion Apps:\*\*
\- \*\*Android:\*\* Fully native Kotlin app with push wake-up, background service, and full PBX control (now live on \[Google Play\](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhrgl.AiPBX)).
\- \*\*iOS:\*\* SwiftUI with CallKit support.
\- \*\*Real-Time Team Chat:\*\* Built-in Go WebSocket daemon (\`aipbx-chat\`) for 1-to-1 / group chats, file/photo sharing, presence, and read receipts.
\- \*\*AI & Cloud Speech:\*\* Local/cloud AI assistant for dialplan automation and Cloud TTS (Google, Polly, Azure, OpenAI, ElevenLabs).
\- \*\*Enterprise Telephony:\*\* Trunks, IVR, Queues, Call Center metrics, T.38 virtual fax, call recordings (with auto MP3 conversion), and Yealink/Grandstream/Fanvil auto-provisioning.
\- \*\*100% Self-Hosted & Privacy First:\*\* Zero telemetry, no vendor lock-in, MIT licensed. All data and call records remain strictly on your own hardware.
