I have so many of these things that I use daily.
I made a CLI password manager in Bash. It grabs random bytes from /dev/urandom, filters out the non-ASCII, then GPG encrypts with my key. Months later I realized I had reinvented the common utility 'pass'.
I made a utility to type accented characters on Linux. I learned to type French on an English keyboard under windows as a kid using Alt + 0NNN where NNN is the decimal character code. I made a delightfully hacky solution: when I press Alt+0 a tiny window is popped for a fraction of a second to capture the next keystrokes. If they are 3 digits, it spits out the relevant character into the active window. This one is also in bash.
The car share service I use got rid of their web interface. I reverse engineered their android app and created my own unauthorized web app so I can find available cars.(evofinder.ca)
I built an embedded device that connects to the door buzzer in my apartment so I can let myself into the building. It's built with a cheap esp8266 dev board and programmed with the arduino IDE, yet it has been running reliably for years.
I built a mobile trivia game web app that is simple and lightweight with no ads or tracking. I made it pre-COVID to kill time when I was out and about. (Justtrivia.fun)
