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. Wizestream - A better NewPipe

  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"

F-Droid:

  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

For android: Vela Maps, basically newpipe but for google maps. It anonymises your requests to google maps and functions essentially the same way. It also works offline assuming you downloaded the maps you need (including search results).
