I am open to any suggestions or to add an services I missed! Suggestions are especially welcome on services with less than three current options
Wouldn’t really recommend threema and would include SimpleX
Why not?
As an email provider there is also posteo which is a nice email provider from germany that costs only 1 € a month. And with posteo and mailbox you can use 3rd party email clients which is not something you can do on proton or tuta.
Aren’t Brave and Vivaldi supposed to have blue bullet instead of yellow?
Any iOS alternative to Google Tasks?
Maybe anytype
After further inspection, I would recommend Joplin for most private
Thanks for your tips :-) I have been trying both Anytype and Joplin, and might use either, but they seem to be primarly note apps not task/todo/reminder/list/priority apps.
Your first links looked interesting, so I will do some research on them.
Would you be willing to pay? Some of the apps aren’t currently being developer unfortunately
Maybe omni focus?
Maybe a Joplin? Sorry this is a kinda half arsed andwer I’ll be back with a better one in a mo
Some of those suggestions are not exactly degoogling, in the strictest sense. If you’re just going to keep using Google services but through a different frontend, you are not freeing yourself from Google.
That’s not to say piped and invidious and Aurora and so on aren’t worth using if you absolutely cannot wean yourself away from Google entirely. It’s a step in the right direction, certainly.
Still, it might be nice to label those suggestions differently in a list like this, for clarity.

If you’re degoogling to reduce google’s influence in the world, not just in your life, you should avoid chromium based browsers entirely. Google’s chromium web rendering engine dominates most web traffic, and is squeezing out all alternatives. This leaves defining web standards in the hands of google pretty much exclusively. Vivaldi and Brave should be avoided for this reason. Brave founder Brendan Eich donates to funds seeking to undo gay marriage protections in the US and other reactionary causes, if that matters to you (it should).
Everything you need and more if you have a bit of time and an old laptop or two.

Some of these you can use through public hosted servers too.
Wow! These are great. I’m going to have to try out minusgames. I’ve just been using syncthing.
I run a lot of these on the background of my desktop too and you can flip them off if they’re too intensive and you want to game or something. Self hosting is a little tedious to start but it saves so much money lol.
For those of you who want to dump music streaming entirely and go back to audio files Symphony is an open source music player on Android.
another option if you want a hybrid is host a jellyfin instance with your music youbcan even install a lrclib plugin and get pretty good lyrics
Oh? Self hosted music streaming? Thats neat as fucc
Bitwarden also makes an OTP authenticator app.
It has TOTP built-in for paid accounts.
I’m not paying them, and I have their authenticator app. It’s a free download from the app store.
Most KeePass clients have built-in OTP support too. That being said I still prefer Aegis.
Cryptpad for a Drive/Online Office Suite replacement, it’s fantastic
Just started using this. It’s free (for a small amount of storage) and super private. Like so private that if you forget your password, your data is lost forever.
Someone please help me find a browser that has the Chromium gestures.
I want o be able to pull the URL bar down to go into the tab selection screen and pull the page down to refresh, and all the Firefox based browsers are so different it drives me crazy and I go back to chrome or brave.
Brave I think If not then ungoogled chromium
Would it be better to replace Gemini with a local model run through ollama or something?
Yes, but unless you have god hardware it won’t be a direct replacement ):
I like Firefox Sync. What are my options when moving to Librewolf?
You can continue using it.
