I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there’s noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

I don’t have much experience with Scrivener, but it came up when I was looking for writing software, and clearly it’s very popular.
The reasons I ended up rejecting it were, mainly, lack of Android and Chromebook/Linux support and lacking sync capabilities (looks like there’s Dropbox and iTunes sync support now). The pricetag seems reasonable, though.
After a lot of searching, I ended up with Obsidian, and love it to bits. It syncs flawlessly from my Mac desktop to my Android phone and my Chromebook, it has a superb plugin development community, and seems to be able to do almost everything Scrivener does, but for free.
@renard_roux @foss Do you know if it can output in Shun mamuscript format with a plugin?
I’m not sure about direct Shunn / Standard Manuscript Format export, but essayist Jamie Todd Rubin has a great serie of articles about going paperless with Obsidian , and episode 25 has a workflow specifically for this (using Pandoc externally to compile).
