I suggest: Citationsy (https://citationsy.com)
There is no tracking, it’s very privacy conscious, and built by an independent developer (full disclosure, the independent developer is me!).
Citationsy is a reference manager and research assistant for people who value simplicity, privacy, and speed.

Hi All, My name is Wilson, maker of https://blocksurvey.io - a privacy focused surveys, polls & forms platform. I built this using Blockstack blockchain. Would it be possible to add this to the ‘Forms’ category? This will help me grow. Please do try it. It is free to use and I’m yet to monetize. Any feedback, suggestions, improvements are welcome. You can write to me at wilson@blocksurvey.org.
Hi! It’s incredible how many good projects people are proposing here. I would like to add an email provider:
Ethical Mail
It uses carbon neutral hosting and focuses on privacy.
DTube - Online video portal, YouTube alternative, based on blockchain, decentralized, no censorship, no ads.
More about DTube: https://www.valleyarm.com/so-what-is-dtube/
Proton Calendar - https://beta.protonmail.com/calendar
Ethical calendar alternative from ProtonMail. Private, secure, encrypted service from Switzerland.
Currently in beta and for paid users, but do not forget: “If you get product for free, you are the product.”
More details could be found here: https://protonmail.com/blog/protoncalendar-beta-announcement/
How about a category for eBook readers? Some alternatives to Amazon Kindle would be nice.
I can recommend PocketBook - wide support of eBook formats, you truly own your device (no remote deletion possible), some have SD slot to extend memory, MP3 player or text-to-speech conversion.
I’d like to suggest Whole People - a digital magazine dedicated to ideas and tools for sustainable living. Think Whole Earth Catalog for the digital/insta-age.
You can add PinePhone to the list of ethical smartphones - An Open Source Smart Phone Supported by All Major Linux Phone Projects - see https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/
Hi,
Only just discovered this directory and I love it, so many great tools I didn’t know about.
It would be great if you could add S4 Hosting to the Web Hosting section.
Disclosure: I’m one of the founders of the company
We offer sustainable and ethical web and email hosting, powered by 100% renewable power and hosted in Europe’s most sustainable data centre in Helsinki. Certified green by the The Green Web Foundation.
We are passionate about sustainability, ethics, open source software, net neutrality and internet freedom. At some point we realised that while we were doing a lot of things in our lives as sustainably as we could, the way that we were hosting our websites didn’t fit in with that.
When we couldn’t find a host that matched up with what we wanted we spent a year planning and developing our own.
We also have strong policies about who we partner with and expect them to meet the same standards we do.
Our website is at https://s-4.host and you can check the about and sustainability pages for more info.

Private and no tracking search engine, it work well for me!
I hope you going to like it like me and share that for other people
It would be awesome if you could add Internxt to the file-sharing category. They provide a cloud storage/sharing service (pretty much like SAFE NETWORK, Tresorit etc). It’s free, open-source, client-side encrypted, uses blockchain technology & it works really well! https://internxt.com/drive
Thank you!
We would like to add to the list decidim.org, the free open-source platform for citizen participation (deliberation, collaboration, collective construction of proposals, assemblies, meetings, elections, participatory budgeting, etc…). Thanks!
apertus.org to ‘Video’ - Home of FOSS, open hardware, professional digital cinema and imaging tools.
Could you please add https://piwik.pro/ to Analytics cathegory? It’s a privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative empowering organisations to analyze and optimize the full customer journey while adhering to the strictest security policies and privacy regulations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA).
What about adding https://miniflux.app . It is a open source, minimalistic and privacy-friendly Feed reader. You can host it for your self or you can let miniflux host it for you for $15/yr. If you let it host, you are not tracked in any way.
What about adding a graphics or design category? Then you can add Gimp, blender3d, inkscape for sure.
Maybe also some other interesting related websites:
3dmodelhaven, texturehaven, hdrihaven
Many thanks for adding Piwik PRO to the analytics cathegory! Could you please change our name from “Piwik” to Piwik PRO, as this is how company is called
Hello,
I would like to suggest our business - cloud hosting and managed servers by https://www.veroservers.com/
Key principles in our work is:
- To maintain privacy of our customers - we do not share any information with third parties. It is basic human right, that has been constantly violated by market giants. We believe people deserve better future than the one depicted in “1984”.
- Prioritize data centers which are using renewable energy sources. Currently almost all the servers we are using are from such data centers. That’s the only direction world can move to not consume and not pollute itself. And it’s not disputable anyway.
Thank you for your time and attention. Keep up the good work!
