We may need a category for Reddit one day too. I'd love to recommend an app for messaging, and a few for Adobe. Messaging: Wire. It's always secure by default, not a setting you have to switch anywhere. It has a Slack-like paid service for businesses, but is free for personal users. Based in Germany. I enjoy it's interface and it has an option to verify the user you're speaking with, along with a fingerprint or password screen to just open the app. Art: Affinity Photo (bitmaps) and Designer (vectors). I didn't see anything on the website if the software has to be open source, so if that's a priority these are out. However, they're pay one price ($50 or $60 USD), and have a similar interface to their Adobe counterparts and near parity on features, including a few that I don't believe Adobe has. They're also working on Publisher, which is an analog to InDesign. There's also Skylum's Luminar, which is a Lightroom replacement. I don't have as much experience with it, but there are companies striving to accommodate that audience.
