Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty: Introducing LibreFind
Introducing LibreFind
Does your phone work for you, or for Big Tech?
We all know we should use open-source software. We know we should de-Google our lives. But actually finding reliable, privacy-respecting alternatives to the apps we use every day is exhausting.
I’m a student developer, and I got tired of manually hunting for FOSS alternatives. So, I built LibreFind. 🔍 What is LibreFind?
LibreFind is an Android app that scans your installed applications and instantly suggests Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) alternatives.
It’s not just a list; it’s a dashboard for your digital freedom.
The “Sovereignty Score”
The core feature of the app is your Sovereignty Score.
The app analyzes how many proprietary apps you have vs. open-source ones. It gives you a score from 0 to 100. It gamifies the process of taking back your privacy.
Built in Public
I am building this entirely open-source.
No Ads.
No Tracking. (The app calculates everything locally on your device).
Community Driven. We use the OpenAlternative database to ensure recommendations are high-quality.
Help Me Build It
I am currently working on scaling the backend and fixing F-Droid builds. I’m looking for feedback, contributors, and beta testers from the Nostr community.
If you care about privacy, please check out the code or give it a star.
