humble bundle does cheap Campaign Cartographer bundles all the time so that's probably where you got it.
Affinity Studio is now completely free and its awesome. It's owned by Canva now which is far less awesome, but if you don't want to use canva's bullshit AI nonsense you can literally turn it off in affinity studio and remove it from the interface and never look at it again and now you have a completely free, industry professional, layout/design/art program. It takes the place of three different adobe products and that is awesome because fuck adobe. Currently windows/MAC only, but they have been heavily talking about making a linux version, so... soon? maybe?
Focus Writer is a freeware writing program. It's main "selling" point is that its a distraction free writing application, which means you can set it up with a cool background that gives you writing vibes and then it makes the rest of your computer disappear when you full screen it. Has all the standard word processor things, spellcheck, text attribute type things, etc. I don't think it has tables, but its really meant for like, writing novels and such. Available for windows, linux, and has a source code download available also. It's really, really good, and tiny, and free.
Media Player Classic - Black Edition (MPC-BE64) is media player from back when windows didn't suck shit, magically ported to modern systems and then shot up with every single video and audio codec known to man, like piracy steroids. You know how 7zip will uncompress basically anything? MPC-BE will play basically anything. I prefer it to VLC because I like its UI better, but they're functionally identical. It is, unfortunately, windows only, though it is available on github so maybe there are forks? I dunno.
Stacher 7 rips shit from youtube. Its a frontend for yt-dlp, and if you want to rip shit from youtube, then this is the best way to do it. It is available for windows, both flavors of mac, and linux.
