10 open-source apps I recommend every Windows user download - for free


Open-source might not be the first thing you think of with Windows, but these free tools can seriously boost your productivity.

Using a right-click context menu entry (within the file manager), you can convert audio, video, images, and documents from one format to another. With every feature you'll need (including a web browser extension), Bitwarden can do more to help keep you protected by simplifying the process of using strong, unique passwords. If you want to use AI but don't like the idea of a third party using your queries or data to train their LLMs, consider the open-source Ollama, which is easy to use and even includes a well-designed GUI for interacting and adding models.
