I hope that my list of apps will help out people, particularly those new to this world of privacy. These apps fit into the categories that people typically look for or should have and they are all at least fairly recently updated.

    I would add a few things. Thunder is another amazing Lemmy app. LibreTube is a great, private and open source YouTube client. Tuta (previously Tutanota) is another end to end encrypted email provider and an alternative to Proton Mail.

      Thanks for the additions! I purposely left off Tuta as it recently had some concern that it could be a honeypot. If that’s not true (as I have not followed the story) then that’s a good addition.
