I’m working on degoogling and moving away from major tech companies. I’m really curious what others here are using instead — especially for everyday tools and services.
What do you use for things like:
1.Email 2.Cloud storage / file sync 3.Maps & navigation 4.Search engine 5.Web browser 6.Calendar 7.Contacts management 8.Notes / to-do lists 9.Office suite (docs, spreadsheets, etc.) 10.Messaging / chat 11.Video calling 12.Social media / microblogging RSS reader / news 13.Music streaming / podcast app 14.Video streaming / YouTube alternative 15.Password manager 16.VPN / DNS / Firewall 17.Launcher / Android OS (if you use custom ROMs) 18.App store / APKs 19.Photo backup / gallery 20.Weather 21.Smart assistant (if any) 22.Anything else you’ve replaced?
Would love to hear about your setup — both what works well and any trade-offs you’ve had to make. Always looking for better FOSS or privacy-friendly alternatives
For cloud storage i really like koofr and filen
Filen is one of those under consideration, along with Seafile. I hadn’t heard about koofr, I’ll check that out as well, thanks!
