I know Anki is the most popular by far, but what else does everyone else use? I'm currently listening to a Mass Effect Legendary playthrough in German. I use https://yourdailygerman.com/ to learn grammar. And I made a custom app to help me learn vocabulary in a way I find a bit easier than Anki.

What does everyone else use?

For Mandarin

Pleko = Swiss army knife for hanzi: dictionary, optical character recognition (OCR), vocab trainer, writing trainer, additional paid content like lessons, exercises, books
Anki = FOSS vocab trainer
Chinese In Flow = a fun gamified vocab trainer; Google removed it from the Play Store recently IDK why.. time to release it on F-Droid
ChinesePod = daily in different flavors: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (also available in your podcatcher)
Craig's list, ebay or your local shop platform for finding online teachers or tandems.

I cannot really recommend Duolingo as you'll stop making progress at some point due to stacking repeatitions.
