From the community
I love that semi-transparent pumpkin!
This is interesting because wouldn't this eat into Adguard's own desktop macOS app profits? I pay for yearly licenses for it, but if this ends up working well then what's the point of that paid app? Seems to me like we'll end up with 2 tiers of system-wide blocking: this free version that gives less customization options, and maybe the paid version will continue, with blocking URLs all exposed so you can monitor exactly what is going on. Maybe this free one for average users and the paid for...
It is free and privacy first
Webkit based and it it so powerful and refined.
It's a lot more afforable, with a really easy to use interface and all the features you need for easy zero-based budgeting.
Adaptive dark mode doesn't use AI at all (why it would do?), it's just some basic CSS and SVG manipulation, and seems to produce some decent results. And as Webkit blog states: "For complete control over how your site looks in dark mode, add full support [of dark mode]." so yes, you've still got the choice to do all the work by yourself and even got a reason to test your website on Safari if you don't already hate your life.
Cozy
★★★★★
Cozy is such a gorgeously designed app and is a fantastic alternative to apps like Day One and even Apple's own Journal app.
It's privacy-focused, has a lot of small little cool features like habits and reviews. They're really implemented quite well and the developer has been really active with features and support. Deserves to be known and used by far more people!
Notion
★★★★★
Notion is very powerful and flexible. I like that I can shape Notion around my processes and my org. It takes time to set it up and think it through. But once done, it does the job of keeping knowledge and documents organised without redundancy, beautifully.

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.
