## What it is
A curated awesome-list of privacy-respecting, mostly open-source services and apps as alternatives to mainstream proprietary products. It covers categories from messaging and cloud storage to search engines, password managers, and AI tools.

## Use cases
- find privacy-respecting alternatives to Google services
- discover open-source messaging apps that don't collect data
- degoogle my digital life
- find a private cloud storage or email provider
- recommend privacy tools for a non-technical friend
- find open-source alternatives to proprietary apps by category

## When to choose
- you want a broad, community-curated catalog of privacy alternatives across many categories
- you're starting a degoogle or de-GAFAM migration and need options per service
- you want explanations of privacy vs security vs anonymity alongside tool picks

## When to avoid
- you need a single audited tool rather than a list of many options
- you need actively maintained software with releases rather than a reference list
- you need enterprise compliance-focused security tooling rather than consumer privacy
