Beyond the above list, there is megasync that is maintained in 3rd
part repository.

I maintain "tegrarcm" that builds with cryptopp in order to sign some
code for some tegra devices in recovery mode.
amule also uses cryptopp exclusively. Now clementine could be a
leftover after a deeper check. and cryfs (likely still bundled despite
using a BuildRequires) is been rewritten in rust with 2.x
