## What it is
PRISM Break is a curated directory of free and open-source software recommendations focused on privacy and security, published as a static website. The repository contains the JSON data, LiveScript filters, and Pug/Stylus templates used to build the site.

## Use cases
- find open-source alternatives to proprietary surveillance-heavy apps
- discover privacy-focused browsers, messengers, and VPN tools
- recommend vetted FOSS software with strong security practices
- contribute translations for a privacy software directory
- research censorship-resistance and metadata-leak-resistant tools

## When to choose
- you want a curated, quality-over-quantity list of vetted privacy tools
- you need only free/open-source recommendations with security scrutiny
- you want a multilingual directory of surveillance-resistance software

## When to avoid
- you need exhaustive listings including proprietary or freemium options
- you want frequently updated recommendations (last release was 2021)
- you need tool comparisons with benchmarks rather than curated picks

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, privacy, documentation, static-site-generator
- domain: privacy, security, self-hosted, awesome-lists, developer-tools
