Thank you!!! It’s crazy how I feel like no one is talking about it, but there isn’t a FOSS alternative to Google Keep. I tried Joplin, Standard Notes, Logseq, Anytype, etc., but none of them are pleasant to use on mobile. (On the other hand, they are good alternatives to Notion, but that’s not what I’m looking for)
I use Notesnook which I find is complete and not bad at all on pc, but the mobile interface is as unintuitive as the other ones mentioned before...
Beaver Notes seems to be a plausible alternative for now, but is today too unstable and too early in its state (as far as the iOS app is concerned anyway).
It seems to me to be a strange way to store your photos, not sure that Telegram is made for that. Especially if the conditions of Telegram ever change, it’s taking a huge long-term risk between losing your photos or worse.
I’m an iOS user too. I’d switch the day there’s a nice little Android smartphone that’s compatible with a Google-free OS (and by “little,” I mean under 5.8 inches, I don’t have giant hands).
The size of the iPhone X was the best for me. Not too big, not too small, 5.8 inches is the way 😇 (Said as a user of iphone 13 mini, which I find slightly too small)
The screen is huge for a phone. This type of screen resolution can damage the eyes on a large screen (the lower the dpi, the greater the strain on the eyes to bring the screen into focus).
Proton Pass already has built-in authentication keys. The proton auth application is more for those who want to separate dual authentication from their password manager, or for those who don’t use proton services but want to have a european dual authentication application.
But I admit that the separation of services into multiple applications confuses the issue.
I understand your point of view, but I think that in today’s society, a company can’t afford to fall too far behind when it comes to current uses. I’m perfectly aware of the risks that AI brings, but if it can enable some people to find a -private- way out of American AI, I think it’s a good thing.
Indeed, that's a good question 🤔 An interesting solution might have been to leave the app free and make certain functions like speed cameras or real-time traffic accessible with the €1/year subscription. (I'm not saying it's a good solution, it's just an idea)
For my part, I'm more concerned about the "subscription" aspect. I'd have been prepared to pay €10 to get Magic Earth for life. But at 99 cents a year, it doesn't seem like much, and there's no guarantee that it'll become monthly or more expensive, for example.
On the other hand, I find Magic Earth rather poor when it comes to POIs, finding an establishment, finding out the opening hours of a place, and so on.
In the end, I use CoMaps + Apple Plans for points of interest and timetables, and Magic Earth for navigation.
If you're talking about Magic Earth: no. Despite the fact that Magic Earth is based on OpenStreetMap and has a quite good privacy policy, the application remains closed-source.
For me, the CoMaps (or OrganicMaps) application is pretty good for the map side of things. On the other hand, when it comes to navigation, I find Magic Earth much more complete (speed camera display, better traffic management, optimized interface for landscape navigation, reporting of road events, better precision of lanes to follow, and I'm forgetting many others).
I downloaded the app just to see what the interface looked like and when I got to the app, it turns out that you can't access the app without automatically signing up for a subscription (even though there's a free trial period, for me this is clearly a redflag).
Wow looks nice. Sadly I’m on iOS but thanks for your answer !

I would add DeepinOs in an ultra-modern, automatic-opening building shaped like a trash can.
As a Gnome/GTK enthusiast, I really love Geary. I think it’s the email client that integrates best with the Gnome environment!

6.7" with 1600x720 is crazy in 2025.
How is mapy with regard to confidentiality?

Honestly, Proton Pass is the best choice for me. Easy to use, super comprehensive. It’s the best service provided by Proton in my opinion.
Basically Google Maps by Apple on iOS

Exactly !

Capslock + the letter, thats all
