A curated list of privacy-respecting services and software, organized by category (search engines, social networks, messengers, VPNs, email, operating systems, and more). For each mainstream data-collecting service it explains the privacy concerns and suggests alternatives.

Use cases

• find privacy-respecting alternatives to Google services
• which messenger doesn't collect my data
• private search engines that don't track me
• self-hosted alternatives to cloud storage
• privacy-focused operating systems and browsers
• de-google my life
• curated list of VPN and email providers that respect privacy

When to choose

• you want a human-curated starting point for switching to privacy-friendly tools
• you want explanations of why mainstream services are problematic alongside alternatives
• you need recommendations across many categories from search to hosting

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained security audits or vulnerability data rather than links
• you want an exhaustive, automatically updated database of privacy tools
• you need installation instructions or setup guides rather than a reference list
