Here to share the apps I discover, like & use! As an active AlternativeTo contributor, my ‘likes’ are bookmarks & visibility boosts, not endorsements. Remember to research thoroughly before installing!
I think Windscribe deserve a mention thanks to its usable (yet limited) free tier option. It is a great VPN service and free tier doesn't seem to compromise on privacy and their client is open source it has been well reviewed on Techlore and RTINGS.com !
Really excited to see the state of these software in 6 months to 1 year. Can't wait to replace Big Tech thanks to Big Tech itself.
No NymVPN in that list ?
Great mascot I love it's design. However marketing it as Open Source is misleading as only the clients are. Especially how they started with words like "Unlike other AI assistants, my code is fully open source, so anyone can verify that it’s private and secure — and that we never use your data to train the model.".
But that's not my main issue with it. The thing that bug me really hard is how closed it really is, it uses several models ("Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3")...
balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties
By using CapCut you agree that Bytedance (TikTok) sell your face, voice, and likeness in ads, AI training, or even sell that footage to others!
I wouldn't touch it, if you really need a mobile editing software use : LightCut
If you need a WebEditor use Mastershot
If you are serious about video editing simply learn DaVinci Resolve
A proprietary web browser in 2025... what a distopic world.

DISCLAIMERS :
Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it !
Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them.
I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !

Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android (nice & modern UI/UX)
UI = User Interface
UX = User eXperience
Most open source apps offer out-dated or classic material design UI. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your android device !
Apps are listed in alphabetical order !

Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app.
While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
