What privacy friendly app/service/stuff makes your life simpler? (feddit.de)

I am trying to re-adjust how much effort I want to put into privacy concerns. Too much stuff I'm using isn't working properly or using a lot of my mental resources that I need elsewhere.

For (a bad) example: I recently performed a half-switch from my self-hosted Nextcloud instance to ProtonDrive, in the hope that it would spare me the stress to maintain my private Nextcloud. Unfortunately, it doesn't, as basic functionality like cross-device-sync is not possible (there isn't even a client app for Linux, as of yet).

This brings me to the question: have you found any services/apps/stuff that significantly eases your life while still being privacy friendly? I know, this is a broad question, but I think this is for the best as this thread then maybe even has use for other users.

It's based on unifiedpush standard https://unifiedpush.org/. So a central notification middleman like google firebase for all your apps (that support it). There's messengers like mercurygram, fluffychat, Molly that support it and you can also send notifications yourself via a simple curl command.

    Wow, I really appreciate how they use animations to show how it works (and I generally despise any animation on a home page).

    That's how it should be done.

    Also, what they've done is impressive. Smart. I had no idea this existed, though I've seen another open solution to Unified Messaging (just can't recall what). This is really promising.
