Foliate. It's an ebook reader. Fast, functional and immersive. I like using it in full screen mode, dark mode. Sometimes it feels nicer than a kindle device.
What I like about it is, like any excellent software, you don't notice it. It gets out of your way and lets you do your task.
For mature software, Vim.
For new software, I'd say 1Password. It's amazing how well it syncs with everything, across Firefox and Chrome, and how it handles not just usernames and passwords but gives a secure way to share secret plain text files, scan QR codes and more.
Taskwarrior [1].
Brilliant utility. Surprising amount of well thought out features. Very flexible.
The C++ source code seems well organized on first glance.

mplayer in the console. I've been using it for fifteen years and it's such a great, minimal piece of software that just works.
Procreate, it's just so nice to use on the iPad Pro and refreshing compared to Photoshop for drawing
iOS is pretty "well crafted", seeing how it has operated smoothly from day 1.
It's not perfect, but I find Beyond Compare pretty essential (on Windows).
Selection: mpv, powershell, weechat (double e)
Probably Go. I also like Google Cloud and CUE
