What server/self-hosted software would you like a desktop/mobile app version of?

Think of some stuff you may already self-host but it'd make it easier (and maybe keep your config simpler) to suggest to others if it had a desktop/mobile app version

Text to speech, speech to text, machine translation.
We have some of that available as local software. But they're all limited or don't offer the same quality as their big (and proprietary) counterparts.
- Isn't Kaldi speech recognition? So speech to text and not text to speech?
- Speech Central is pretty good for the text to speech
I swear to God if someone says Skyrim
- Do you get to the cloud district very often...oh what am I thinking, of course you don't.
- Haha, fucking skyrim npcs on my phone
I just want more apps to support sync-to-file so they're compatible with Syncthing.
Home server with in/out VPN, system auto - back up, hosting FreshRSS just to "subscribe" and sync YouTube channels. Why can't NewPipe at least just add auto backup at the very least. Sigh.
- I have no idea what you are referring to but you could try LibreTube and see if they have it.
I think it'd be pretty sweet to get like a single executable installation for a VPN server that internally generates a cert and then assembles a new executable that'll install and a VPN with that cert pre-configured.
Basically "Run this program on the computer you want as the server then run the program it gives you on a computer you want as the client." It'd make it really easy to proselytize against things like NordVPN.
