From the community
Building chains of utilities piped into another, local only processing, saving pipelines for reuse in browser extension, vscode extension, and mcp extension.
It stopped working on August 9, 2026. It was macOS-only; the promised Windows version never happened. It will not even do basic browsing now.
I got the portable version. Once executed I'm sitting with a folder of a 740 MB. For a software with 3 buttons that's gotta be the worst overhead I have seen. Terrible software engineering.
Easy to use, simple interface, ai personal assistant
It also has prices for Cardmarket and TCGPlayer and also provides more computed data regarding market movements, era prices, opportunities to go for (falling card prices, cards that hold value etc.)
Feature request: the possibility to exclude news about fascist-platforming operations. I prefer to hear more about the nth user-friendly Git UI than about this.
Signal
★★★★★
I really like Signal because it offers a simple, secure, and reliable messaging experience. The interface is clean and easy to use, and I appreciate its strong focus on privacy and end-to-end encryption. Messages and calls work smoothly, making it a great option for staying connected without unnecessary distractions. Overall, Signal is a great choice for anyone who values privacy, simplicity, and secure communication.

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.
