#NewYearResolution2026: Never let people tell you it's impossible to deGoogle your life.

@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 include Delta Chat.

@Tutanota Couple others:

News: Any RSS apps (eg Feeder)

Wallet: Not great options. But loyalty cards work in Catima. NFC payments are tricky. Some (non U.S.) banks... and Garmin Watch again...

ToDo: Tasks.org, jtx Board

Weather: Breezy Weather

I'm a dummy. I just remembered.

SmartWatch (again) : Pebble! They're back!

@Tutanota

You are missing FreeTube

@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?

@JefferyT51 @Tutanota

There is a new, really good chromium-based browser, that says it is better than Brave - Helium.

@Tutanota nice list! I'm already using some of those. I suggest Deepl for translation and "Le Chat" for Gemini (ai)!

@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

@LiraLarum @Tutanota try bunny photo editor. Or try photo editor from f-droid
Ente photo also have inbuilt editor. Also fossify and right photo apps has builtin editor

@Tutanota so I tried to access the Aurora "app". The home page is full of Temu ads and there is absolutely no set of complete instructions on how to even open any list of apps, never mind using it. If you want to convince people to adopt these alternatives, above all else, they must be instantly easy to access, install, and use. Otherwise it's Dungeons and Dragons level interest.
