* Speed of Sound: https://www.speedofsound.io/
* Open Media Converter: https://github.com/albilu/open-media-converter

* LEDSuite: https://d0minik.dev/LEDSuite/

And libraries based on java-gi:

* Stargate (wrapper for XDG Desktop Portals): https://github.com/zugaldia/stargate

And there's also Coulomb, a Java GTK app that uses the bailuk/java-gtk bindings: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.hamza_algohary.Coulomb
