Honorable Mention:

Looking through my 'Sound change appliers' local folder, I see Lee Hartman's
Phono (apparently from the 80s).
Couldn't find online again:
- HaSC, a Haskell featural SCA by Christopher Bates (I wrote him here some years ago, no response)
- schcompile, written in Perl by Henrik Theiling
- Versatile Sound Change Applier (VSCA) apparently by someone from the old ZBB

While looking for HaSC, I stumbled upon yet another Haskell SCA,
sound-change by Owen Bechtel.
