Tools that probably no one had heard of but are extremely helpful for Degoogling:

Sustysubs.net - A list of alternative services

LibreCuts - The only FOSS Android video editor for the professionals

  • A video editor for Android that supports overlays and keyframes, which in my opinion, is the minimum requirment for a video editor to be “professional”

F-Droid:

LibreFind - Community-driven app for finding alternative apps for Android

  • LibreFind is probably the most well-known project listed here, but basically, you submit a FOSS alternative to a proprietary app, then wait for it to be approved. It also lists how many of your local apps are FOSS or not

(TURNS OUT IT IS NOT OPEN-SOURCE MY BAD) Pur.ili - Kagi if it was free

  • Pur.ili is a private search engine that does not have big tech spy on you by secret. Unlike most “privacy friendly” search engines, like DuckDuckGo or Brave Search, this one has a completely independent index, meaning no contracts to big tech to let them spy on you by secret. The difference between this and Kagi? It doesn’t require a paid subscription, so you can use it for free

      Yeah Magic Earth isn’t as good as Google Maps, but it comes closest to the full package.

      Just FYI regarding car navigation, so far it’s been pretty hit or miss for me whether it knows if roads are closed.

        I also like using Nunav in Germany. It provides much better coverage of traffic jams and road closures.

          I haven’t heard of them before, that definitely looks interesting. I’ll have to do some more research into them before I trust them fully but thanks.
