Tools that probably no one had heard of but are extremely helpful for Degoogling:

  1. Sustysubs.net - A list of alternative services
  • A very useful tool that you can find privacy-friendly altermatives to proprietary services. You can suggest a service via Codeberg and/or Email

  1. LibreCuts - The only FOSS Android video editor for the professionals
  • A video editor for Android that supports overlays and keyframes, which in my opinion, is the minimum requirment for a video editor to be "professional"

  1. LibreFind - Community-driven app for finding alternative apps for Android
  • LibreFind is probably the most well-known project listed here, but basically, you submit a FOSS alternative to a proprietary app, then wait for it to be approved. It also lists how many of your local apps are FOSS or not

  1. Pur.ili - Kagi if it was free
  • Pur.ili is a private search engine that does not have big tech spy on you by secret. Unlike most "privacy friendly" search engines, like DuckDuckGo or Brave Search, this one has a completely independent index, meaning no contracts to big tech to let them spy on you by secret. The difference between this and Kagi? It doesn't require a paid subscription, so you can use it for free

Has anyone been able to find a Google Maps alternative that's good with public transit routes? That's my last google holdout.

    Comaps is enough for me when I only need the routes itenary and don't care for the time tables. Comaps is, according to many people, the best open-source (and not company-owned) map at the moment

    It seems Murena Maps is coming along nicely in that respect! It has buses and trains, shows live traffic info, is open source, and seems to be working alright.

    It's still under development, so it's not perfect, but for public transportation it seems to be pretty great. You need to install Obtanium to try it. The repo is here.
