#NewYearResolution2026: Never let people tell you it's impossible to deGoogle your life.
️ Find out the names to the icons: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list@Tutanota I'd like to some good non google photo *editors* for storage on my own device.
Ente etc is just storage.
The ones I found are deep in an ai swamp, thats not what I'm looking for.
Any android suggestions for that? -
@Tutanota Couple others:
News: Any RSS apps (eg Feeder)
Wallet: Not great options. But loyalty cards work in Catima. NFC payments are tricky. Some (non U.S.) banks... and Garmin Watch again...
ToDo: Tasks.org, jtx Board
Weather: Breezy Weather
I'm a dummy. I just remembered.
SmartWatch (again) : Pebble! They're back!
There is a new, really good chromium-based browser, that says it is better than Brave - Helium.

️ Find out the names to the icons: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list@Tutanota nice list! I'm already using some of those. I suggest Deepl for translation and "Le Chat" for Gemini (ai)!

️ Find out the names to the icons: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list@Tutanota I liked u added fennec and session in ur list. Still need some more like keepassdx for android, offline translator, another notes/NotallyX. Also add options for files & keyboard because ppls still using Google files & gboard. Alternatives are fossify files or right files and SwiftKey (not foss but
%manageable without internet) or unexpected keyboard. With ente photo u can add aveslibre photo app -

️ Find out the names to the icons: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list@Tutanota never let people tell you they are user friendly though! It really annoys me when “Google alternatives” get promoted that are overcomplicated, ugly, and unusable for normal people.
I honestly think many open-source developers don’t prioritise usability because they assume their products will always be fringe and non-commercial, so UX and onboarding are neglected. It becomes a badge-of-honour exercise to even get them working. 1) -

The homepage is full of Temu ads (ironically), there’s no clear download path, no proper instructions, and no obvious way to browse apps.
If you want people to adopt alternatives, above all else they must be instantly easy to access, install, and use. Otherwise it’s Dungeons & Dragons level niche interest.

️ Find out the names to the icons: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list@Tutanota openstreetmaps is soooo much better. I use mapy.cz as a frontend and it is soo much better for biking and tracking.
I didn't even know half of those browsers. Are the foxes all forked from Firefox?

️ Find out the names to the icons: https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list@Tutanota Suggestions :
Translations:
- Firefox supports downloading models and running locally (either to translate page or direct access in "about:translations")Android: also list non Android derivatives:
- #SailfishOS <- I daily drive that
- postmarketOS
- UbuntuTouch
They all have (container-based) solutions to run Android apps if necessary (AppSupport, Waydroid)Also, add fediverse:
- Pixelfed
- Peertube -

@TheComfortableSpotPodcast @Tutanota that is SOOO important.
Sometimes it's only one click less that makes an app better.
Edit: I remember several times I tried to install new software on PC and needed 1-2 hours. That was depressing.
I need a happy path! -

The only Google service I can't kick is YouTube because I watch a lot of music and niche interest videos not available elsewhere. Shame PeerTube can't just mirror YouTube! As it is I use FreeTube to watch YT but Google keep messing with the API to stop it working on 3rd party apps. Most recently yesterday afternoon. -

Yeah, could be, but to be honest, it costs a lot more than f.e. the all in one (mail, storage, photos) price 2,99/month that Apple charges.I would be fine if that would be 5 or 6 euro, but it's really a lot more.

@Tutanota
And, more importantly the quality of alternative apps is currently not that good; e.g. compare the desktop app of Ente with Apple Photos; it's a huge difference.
