Slicers
Lychee Slicer
Mango 3D's resin and filament slicer, with a free Lite tier and Plus and Library subscription plans. It is not open source.
Lychee Slicer is, along with Chitubox, the slicer most people use for resin printing. Its strength is support generation: the automatic algorithm leaves parts far cleaner than most, and manual support editing is comfortable even on highly detailed models. The maker distributes it in three tiers: Lychee Slicer Lite, free, with the basic slicing tools; Lychee Slicer Plus, paid, with a 30-day trial and no upfront payment; and Lychee Library, which adds a catalogue of creators' models. There are builds for Windows, macOS and Linux (Debian package and AppImage). It is proprietary software: the source is not published and Mango 3D sets the terms of use.
Best for
- Automatic resin supports with a good finish

Limitations
- Advanced features sit behind a paid subscription
- Not open source: it cannot be audited or adapted
- It leans heavily on the graphics card; slow on machines with shared memory
