I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! 👌
Email -> Runbox
Browser -> Vivaldi (also has a calendar and email client)
Messaging -> Signal
Photos/Drive/Docs -> Jotta
Notes -> Justnote
TickTick is Chinese and Nobody should use it. They have full access to your calendar, todo lists and so on. Don’t organize your life in a Chinese owned app.
My replacements
Keep is for notes, optionally with cross-device sync.
CalDAV supports notes/todos. I never used it tho. I usually just Note to Self on XMPP.
If only my uni email was not using gmail..
I once had a Roundcube setup just to access gmail IMAP. It worked great and I did not have to get google tracking cookie.
well, you can still use k9mail or thunderbird with a gmail account so at least the client is foss
You're lucky with Gmail. Both my work and school uses Outlook and they ban IMAP, POP3, third-party apps (even those with OAuth2) and also forwarding to another address. So I have to keep another browser or an anonymous window open for one of them, as it takes WAY too long to switch accounts and I'm NOT downloading the official Outlook app.
I’m loving mailbox.org as an alternative to Gmail and Magic Earth as a replacement for Google Maps. Also I’ve been using Ecosia - both the browser and the search engine. Sadly the search engine is just a reskinned bing, but they are involved in the project of making the first real EU based search engine. And once that’s out I’m looking forward to using that.
+1 for the mailbox.org, moving to it as Proton's CEO Andy outed himself as a Trump supporter. It's been working fine so far with my anonaddy (moved from simplelogin to...)
I'm using Thunderbird on my phone to see my mailbox.org emails
