For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.

And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

    This is probably slightly off topic from the intent of this post but I wish any device that produced sound, like your coffee maker pinging when your coffee is ready or your washer/dryer audibly notifying you when a cycle is complete, had at least a small ability to modify or change that sound. Even just a small way to change the frequency or pitch of the sound would help. Today manufacturers take the approach of ‘it’s important that someone knows when their spin cycle is complete!’, rather than ‘let’s let the consumer have some control over their audio environment’.

      I suggest:

      Household Acoustic Notification Standard (HANS)

      Where it’s a standard protocol or noise making system you can configure with some kind of device. Perhaps it also outlines LORA notifications as well.
