A blog post listed some Delphi apps: https://jonlennartaasenden.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/famous-software-ma…
On that list, I use WinRAR and BeyondCompare every day. I also see Skype but I think the client was rewritten in Electron/Javascript to be cross-platform Windows/Mac/Linux.
Not on that list is AcrylicDNS which I use as a DNS "firewall". The author provides Delphi source code for it: (https://mayakron.altervista.org/wikibase/show.php?id=AcrylicHome)
