Currently using: Aeris, BitWarden, VeraCrypt, GPG etc. What are your standard and can’t live without privacy/security apps?

  • More about privacy than security on my end.

    • Aegis
    • Bitwarden
    • UntrackMe
    • Url forwarder
    • Privacy Browser

    I guess the Google replacement stuff is somewhat privacy related, like OpenStreetMaps, Droidify, AuroraStore, etc.

  • Since nobody mentioned it yet, I want to link to pass.

    It uses only standard stuff, passwords are GPG encrypted files in a directory tree, and you can sync them with git. This makes it completely platform/browser independent, I currently use it with passff and APS.

  • Mostly just interact with:

    • keepassxc
    • KDEconnect
    • cryptomator
    • veracrypt
    • metadata cleaner
    • Signal

    Edit: forgot about android, my bad

    • keepassdx
    • aegis
    • cryptomator
    • grapheneos’ camera
    • vanadium (counting it as a security/privacy app sort of since I use PWAs)

  • Standard Notes is a big one for me. Thunderbird is the only way I access email on my PC. LibreOffice (or OnlyOffice) is regularly used on my end too. VLC is amazing and the only method I listen to music or watch videos on my devices. JabRef is a phenomenal bibliography tool I use for papers. Plus, Kdenlive is an amazing video + audio editing tool I use to clean up OBS recordings. Lastly, Syncthing is how I manage files across multiple devices. All of these are fantastic and a big aspect of my day to day.
