Recommended Software for the Average Joe and Jane [1/3]

Part 1 of 3 in Series: lists will continually be updated periodically. Criteria I look for universally for my lists are as follows: — Open source code: publicly audited — Privacy-focus: minimal data collection, encryption by default — Security-focus: 2FA available, encryption by default — Zero Knowledge end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when appropriate — Cross-platform or progressive web apps (PWAs) + cloud backup/sync — Freemium subscription model, so basic features are always available for free — Oligarchy / Big Tech alternative — Absence of “dark” or deceptive patterns Criteria specifically for this list: — Established companies with a strong reputation — Provides a “it just works” experience for the user: minimal configuration, user friendly — Features available can easily replace Big Tech’s popular apps

What is Dangerzone?

🦠 Removes malware

Dangerzone destroys malware by rendering your document into pixels in a secure sandbox and reconstructing it locally as a PDF.

📝 Supports many file types

Dangerzone supports more than 20 file types, including PDFs, all major office-suite formats, and the most common image types.

🔌 Avoids network access

Documents are sanitized in a sandbox with no network access, so if a malicious document can compromise one, it can't let anyone know.

🫴 Provides a public good

Dangerzone is a free and open source project, maintained by Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), a nonprofit organization that protects and defends press freedom.
