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).

PikaBackup

Out of curiosity, its there a reason not to just SyncThing your ~/Documents, or is it more of a Time Machine for Gnome kinda deal?

FSearch

Oh wow, that looks nice, epically that RegEx support (actually serious, I am a huge fan of RegEx).

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller had a noticeable input delay (enough to make me return it)

Nintendo do be like that... have you found a good alternative, or just the Joycons?

    PikaBackup is more of a Time Machine style backup system. Not just for Gnome, it simply is made with the GTK.

    Ultimately, I went with a Sony DualSense for my latest gaming controller. It has low latency when wired and the buttons are not clacky. Solid construction. I also have an 8BitDo Pro 2, which has one thing I especially like -- hardware turbo buttons. The rest of the controller is merely OK, and IMO not worth the extremely high praise it otherwise receives. Serviceable controller.
