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

A list with 25 apps by justarandom without a description.

While I definitely don't recommend keeping all your eggs (private data) in one basket (apps and/or services from the same groups) some people find it easier switching to private alternatives when they come from the same entity as it's like a change from an ecosystem to another. This list just give you some options that share the same teams behind them. If you know other apps, please let me know down in the comments.
