Hello everyone 👋

I run r/DigitalEscapeTools, a small community focused on open-source, privacy-respecting, and Google-free tools. The goal is to help users discover practical alternatives to mainstream tech while keeping discussions respectful and non-commercial.

I’d like to invite open-source developers and maintainers to share their projects if they fit the following:

🔹 What we’re looking for

Open-source software (FOSS preferred)

Privacy-respecting / minimal tracking

Useful tools (apps, web tools, CLI, extensions, etc.)

Actively maintained or stable projects

🔹 What we avoid

Closed-source apps

Tracking-heavy or ad-driven software

You’re welcome to share:

What your project does

Why it exists

Source code (GitHub, Codeberg, GitLab, etc.)

How users can contribute or give feedback

If you’re interested, feel free to post directly on r/DigitalEscapeTools or join the discussion there.

This is not a promotional post — just an attempt to connect developers and users who care about open source and digital independence.

Thanks, and keep building 🛠️

Open-source software (FOSS preferred)

FYI, there isn't really such a thing as "OSS but not FOSS." The free software definition and the open source definition mostly overlap. Anything that is free software is almost always open source and vice versa.
