@Tutanota ✅ in all categories. What's the next challenge? 😁
@GrapheneOS Tuta is mentioning /e/ again.
@Tutanota As usual you just forget about Informaniak. Their suite (email, cloud, office) is really good and their AI Euria work's surprisingly well
@Tutanota how does one deGoogle when their phone is a Google Pixel?
Habe letzte Woche die Notizbuch App " OpenNotes" auf F-Droid entdeckt. Für mich ( fast optimal ) . Es fehlt mir nur Fett, Kursiv etc. für Nachrichten und ein funktionierender Import Export. Hat bei mir nicht funktiniert. JSON Datei. Vieleicht blockiert auch Android oder Xiaomi den Download, das Installieren.
@Tutanota Al fin una infografía de alternativas a Google con verdaderas alternativas a Chrome.
Eso sí, la categoría de sustitutas de Google Chat podría mejorar, comenzando por quitar Signal. Delta Chat o Monocles Chat/XMPP quedan mucho mejor.
A good list! I'm still using Google maps with Android Auto (also Google) - is there any alternative to Android auto?
@Tutanota for being fully open-source organic maps is fantastic!
@Tutanota, I appreciate the list as much as I do the comments. Both parts were informative.
Thank you for bringing up less known (imho) alternatives, such as Immich. I truly enjoyed their "Cursed Knowledge" section
@Tutanota for authenticator you should also add Ente Auth which is open source
@Tutanota why is brave browser not mentioned?
@Tutanota
Never downloaded anything ever again from google since It wouldn't let me uninstall some program/app back when they started.
How did yall not know they were bad back then?
@Tutanota
Yeah, could be, but to be honest, it costs a lot more than f.e. the all in one (mail, storage, photos) price 2,99/month that Apple charges.
I would be fine if that would be 5 or 6 euro, but it's really a lot more.
@Tutanota
Hey baby, I am a se*x worker. Do you need any services such as video se*x or real se*x . Are you interested?
Just to add that if you use KeepassXC it has a built in authenticator. ctrl-t, ctrl-v fill in the otp validation.
@Tutanota Suggestions :
Translations:
- Firefox supports downloading models and running locally (either to translate page or direct access in "about:translations")
Android: also list non Android derivatives:
- #SailfishOS <- I daily drive that
- postmarketOS
- UbuntuTouch
They all have (container-based) solutions to run Android apps if necessary (AppSupport, Waydroid)
Also, add fediverse:
- Pixelfed
- Peertube
@Tutanota openstreetmaps is soooo much better.
I didn't even know half of those browsers. Are the foxes all forked from Firefox?
@Tutanota Also instead of Google Photo: Piwigo. 🙂
@Tutanota Any phones models (new) to 150eur with Linux operating system ? i saw ca 300/400eur but i wold like find 150 eur. Ideas ?

@Tutanota never let people tell you they are user friendly though! It really annoys me when “Google alternatives” get promoted that are overcomplicated, ugly, and unusable for normal people.🤷
I honestly think many open-source developers don’t prioritise usability because they assume their products will always be fringe and non-commercial, so UX and onboarding are neglected. It becomes a badge-of-honour exercise to even get them working. 🛠️ 1)
@Tutanota I just tried Aurora Store. The homepage is full of Temu ads (ironically), there’s no clear download path, no proper instructions, and no obvious way to browse apps 📖.
If you want people to adopt alternatives, above all else they must be instantly easy to access, install, and use. Otherwise it’s Dungeons & Dragons level niche interest.🔚
@TheComfortableSpotPodcast @Tutanota are you using Web version of aurora? Use f-droid version with no ads and easy to install any app even downgraded version of app manually.. Latest version 4.8.0with material 3 design (beta version)
@TheComfortableSpotPodcast @GOKUSHRM The app is also available at Google Playstore...
@Tutanota I liked u added fennec and session in ur list. Still need some more like keepassdx for android, offline translator, another notes/NotallyX. Also add options for files & keyboard because ppls still using Google files & gboard. Alternatives are fossify files or right files and SwiftKey (not foss but 💯 %manageable without internet) or unexpected keyboard. With ente photo u can add aveslibre photo app
@Tutanota nice list! I'm already using some of those. I suggest Deepl for translation and "Le Chat" for Gemini (ai)!
@Tutanota I'd like to some good non google photo *editors* for storage on my own device.
Ente etc is just storage.
The ones I found are deep in an ai swamp, thats not what I'm looking for.
Any android suggestions for that?
You are missing FreeTube
@Tutanota include Delta Chat.
@Tutanota a few suggestions:
Email: Proton (yes yes I know, but you mention them in calendars anyway.)
Translate: DeepL (?)
Browsers: I know they're Chromium, but options like Vivaldi and (reluctantly) Brave aren't half bad.
App Store: Obtainium
Android: Drop Calyx, its not actively being developed right now and is more of a security hazard than anything.
Maps: HEREWeGo (HERE Maps) is honestly pretty alright.
SmartWatch (WearOS): GadgetBridge, Garmin(?)
Google Home: Homeassistant
@Tutanota You could also add peertube and matrix chat to your list!
