PrivacyScanner is an open-source Android app that scans your installed apps and highlights privacy risks based on permissions. It’s free, ad-free, and doesn’t include trackers perfect for privacy-minded users who want to see what apps are doing on their device.

 

Over the last few years I’ve been slowly de-Googling my digital life. One thing I noticed is how hard it is for newcomers to find trustworthy, privacy-respecting alternatives.

So I put together a curated list of tools I personally use and trust, plus some great recommendations I discovered here.

A few examples:

• Email: Proton Mail, Tuta • Messaging: Signal, Element • Cloud storage: Nextcloud, CryptPad • Other tools: GrapheneOS, Mullvad VPN, Bitwarden

I’m sharing this mainly to help newcomers — not as a definitive list.

👉 What’s ONE privacy tool you think everyone should know about?

 

This is the Lemmy community for sharing privacy-friendly and open-source tools.
