De1984 Firewall
★★★★★
De1984 (a direct reference to the dystopian surveillance in George Orwell's "1984") is an excellent tool for anyone who wants real control over Android. It brings together two powerful features in a single app: per-app firewall and advanced package management.
🔥 Granular and Complete Firewall
• Block each app individually on WiFi, Mobile Data, Roaming, and even local network (LAN) access — using iptables and VPN; • Flexible global policies: blocklist ("Block All by Default") or allowlist...
DuckDuckGo
★★★
I don’t fully understand how this browser works, but I use it occasionally.
AudioCentral
★★★★★
The best Mac EQ/Mixer I've tried so far.
I can’t even get Proton to install properly here in the UAE. The whole setup is such a mess that I haven’t even managed to use it. Support started by asking whether I’d tried switching connection methods, followed by more basic troubleshooting questions. After half an hour of going back and forth, they admitted they had no idea what could be causing the problem. Just wasted time and frustration.
LMMS
★
Unstable, horrible looking, taking the worst design cues from FL Studio and blindly copying them, the built in stuff sounds cheap.
Locks custom launchers like Projectivy as the default home activity on Google TV over wireless debugging without any accessibility resets.
DAEMON Tools
★★★★
DAEMON Tools is the first and only program of its kind I’ve ever used. Back then, it did exactly what I needed, and I never felt the need to look for an alternative. It served its purpose really well, and I still have a positive impression of it.
WinRAR
★★★★★
I don’t know why, but I’ve always used WinRAR. I’ve never even felt the need to look for an alternative))))

Popular App Lists
AI Slopfree Software Catalog
A more optimistic homage to the slopware catalog https://alternativeto.net/lists/44427/slopware/, this list is designed to showcase projects, both FOSS and proprietary, which reject contributions from Generative AI LLM slop machines. The most pessimistic thing about this list is how short it is and how so many commonly used software solutions and websites are not included.
I have to give it up to the following sites for providing references:
https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index
https://github.com/melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies
There are a lot more projects on this list which I didn't include because they aren't on AlternativeTo (yet). I'll be adding more entries to this site (and removing those who fold to the AI overlords) on a regular basis. I'm including references, which are all first-hand declarations from the development teams for each entry to ensure items aren't included based on hearsay or conjecture.

Apps I Use on GrapheneOS
If you are using GrapheneOS on your main phone, then you have made the first and most important step towards privacy in your daily life (in my opinion of course). Most people use their phones more than any other device, and have their phones on them almost all the time, so ensuring that your phone is as private as you can reasonably and comfortably make it is a great move. Switching the operating system is only the first step however. If you move from an iPhone full of big tech apps to GrapheneOS and then install all those apps again, what is the point? Sure, you will have a more private and secure system, but you would subject yourself to being tracked every time you open an app. So, we need to find alternatives to these apps, that are open source, don't track us, keep everything possible local, and don't have an ulterior agenda beyond being the tool you are looking for.
