For me, that would be Secure CRT. I have yet to find a terminal emulator that matches its feature set. If you regularly manage hundreds of machines using various connection protocols (serial and ssh mostly in my case) It’s worth the $$$, and so far there hasn’t been any subscription nonsense. I liked using it at work so much I forked over the dough to have it at home.

None of the free alternatives do everything I need.

I’ll also mention a few iOS apps. One is Sun Surveyor. It’s an AR app that shows you the position of the sun, moon, and galactic center at any given time. The other would have to be Radarscope. It’s a weather radar app, but it’s a really good weather radar app.

EDIT:

This one’s debatable, but I use it all the time. Plasticity is 3D modelling software that attempts to bridge the gap between practical CAD programs and software meant for 3D artists like Blender. It’s not cheap considering Blender is free, but it’s buy once use forever, and at (I think) $150 it’s within reach of an individual hobbyist who knows what they want and is willing to pay for it.

    I think it might be one or both of:

    • people are sick of seeing it mentioned. I’m not a shill, I just really like the product.
    • they are indignant about Kagi occasionally using Yandex when it compiles search results

    In both cases, meh. I’m answering the OP question with my opinion, and hopefully somebody finds it useful.

      Also that Kagi is working alongside AI instead of resisting it. I’m not thrilled about that part either, but it’s not a complete deal breaker for me since I can just choose not to use it.

        IMO, LLMs are a tool which are sometimes useful; I like appending a question mark to a query to get a quick answer. But I agree that the AI work should be kept to a minimum. At least they are using models which are far more sustainable and lightweight.

      Thanks so much! I wouldn’t have known about it had people not talked about it. It’s only been a much or two since switching to kagi and I’ve been happy with it.
