I have several freeware applications on my website, what type should I
use to mark it up? I guess most appropriate type is "Product"?

Have a look at the extensions mechanism in schema.org.

Basically you can add your own category as a sub category of product

I added new subcategory of product type, it's called "Software".

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product/Software">

Hopefully I used proper syntax. :-)

Are we meant to use the schema.org domain for our own extensions?

The Documentation is unclear.

I'm not sure either. I hope they will add examples on all pages so
it's more clearer.

I just saw that "software programs" are mentioned in Creative Work
http://schema.org/CreativeWork , so I guess I was wrong about marking
it as product. :)
