Ravine Desk
★★★★
I like most is having customer conversations organized in one place. It makes it easier to keep track of pending requests and follow up without missing important messages. The overall workflow feels simple, which is exactly what we needed.

★★★★★
I've been using Explorer² for many years, and it's still my go-to file manager. Its greatest strength is flexibility: the dual-pane layout, customizable shortcuts and powerful file operations adapt perfectly to any workflow, from quick everyday tasks to complex file management. It's lightweight, fast and reliable, and it makes Windows Explorer feel outdated. I recommend it to everyone!
Uncork
★★★★★
great app, good optimization.
PrivacyNotes
★★★★★
Finally found the perfect all-in-one note app. PrivacyNotes is secure, easy to use, and syncs seamlessly across all my devices. 5 stars, amazing work by the developers!

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.
