Sefirah
★★
Looked very promising, but I never managed to get it to pair devices or work properly. Every time it scans the QR code it would seem like it paired then nothing would be saved or show up
Its close as it gets to notepad++ on mac
Getting better with every update and is just the best private chatbot available. If Lumo doesn't do what you like you can still use Duck.AI.
GOG.com
★★★★★
In love with the service. Their old games initiative, the DRM-free purchases. Moving everything I can from everywhere to Gog. And soon in Linux. Yeah!
Traktor Pro
★★★★★
I have Traktor 2. I used to DJ live events and home mixing. The great thing about Traktor (or bad thing) is that you don't need to be a very good DJ to look like you're good. I used to concentrate on a good playlist while probably not being the greatest DJ at mixing. Traktor lets you get away with it. Awesome bit of software. I don't DJ anymore.
No limits on anything, free plan is complete, the app is beautifully designed and easy to use.
Ableton Live
★★★★★
The only DAW that I could just open and just create stuff. Been using it for 10+ years. If you look properly, you can get Standard for much below 300USD
Whatsapp if it never become sold to Meta. It is stable, it has a big user base, great privacy and E2EE

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
https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/ai-free-foss-alternatives
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.
Updated 11-11-2026: Added Gleam language, Fooyin Media Player, Fish shell, Pixelorama, GNOME Showtime Player, LibreTube

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.
