Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Organic Maps for ... maps.

FluffyChat as chat client for matrix.

Joplin for note taking on any device.

AntennaPod for podcasts.

100% with you on Joplin, I use it all the time. I love it. I haven't yet found anything I like more.

I tried Obsidian recently and was turned off because the notes aren't encrypted in place like with Joplin. To me that's just a really nice privacy feature that I don't like the idea of sacrificing, especially not to a not open source project.
