I use FreeCAD for both 3D printing and woodworking design.

I use Rednotebook for my personal journal, and it's mostly satisfactory.

I want to highlight a practical usecase for password management with open source tools. Keepass (gnome secrets on computers, and keepassdx on mobile) with syncthing syncing encrypted password files between the devices. Very effective so far. Passwords are synced seamlessly.
