  • mullvadvpn-app

    The Mullvad VPN client app for desktop and mobile

  • Ive read a year or so ago the privacy policy for NordVPN, im not sure if that covered the VPN service aswell but it shouldve. NordVPN collects all the required data by governments when you make a payment with a debit/credit card. With Mullvad you can use bitcoin(not sure about monero) which if used correctly wont have any data related to you. Also mullvad's app(s) are open source: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app

  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • Android

    DuckDuckGo Android App (by duckduckgo)

  • Thanks, I didn't know of this. It's open-source too! https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
