OSM is love. OSM is live.

Working with the data

https://overpass-turbo.eu/
Query OSM data. For simple things the wizard is really easy to use.

https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/
Create custom maps with OSM data e.g. for websites or data visualization.

https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/
Various cool visualizations and heat maps.

Editing tools

https://streetcomplete.app/
Shows missing data as “quests” on a map. Also includes more and more general purpose editing functionality via overlays.

If more elaborate editing is required on the go.

Actually a sports tracker, but you can also upload not-so-sporty tracks to OSM or use them as overlay in an editor. It’s also possible to add markers with text or images for later inspection.

When my smartphone screen just isn’t enough.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys
This has statistics on key and value utilization to better understand how frequently some tags are used.

Navigation apps

https://organicmaps.app/
All-round navigation/map app.

https://osmand.net/
Very versatile, but a little bit more complex. Can be highly customized e.g. to show street lighting on the map.

For car navigation including traffic data. It’s not open source, but in return it has turn-by-turn voice instructions without needing Google Play services.

Honorable mentions

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/
It has even more information on everything listed on here and obviously many other topics.
