I switched to indie apps for privacy, and now my workflow is a mess
Joe Maring / Android Authority I just wanted to send a file from my Android phone to my Windows 11 PC. It should have been easy, but I had de-Googled my life, and suddenly, I was stuck. Quick Share was gone. Google Drive wasn't an option. Docs and Keep were also out of the picture. My new setup relied on a handful of indie tools, and they weren't cooperating. Microsoft's Phone Link wasn't working (again), and my Canadian cloud service was as slow as molasses. It was at that moment I realized escaping Big Tech only sounds good in theory. The practice turned out to be much more difficult than it should have been. Here's what I learned trying to live a Big Tech-free life, and why I'm still picking up the pieces. Have you tried de-Googling your digital life? 0 votes Yes, I use mostly indie apps NaN % I've tried, but went back to Big Tech NaN % Not yet, but I've thought about it NaN % No, Big Tech just works for me NaN % My third-party app setup to replace Google Andy Walker / Android Authority I've grown tired of handing over my data to enormous monopolies that treat me like a product. Google reads my emails, Facebook tracks me across the internet, and Amazon is always spying on me. I didn't want that anymore. I wanted to support independent developers building thoughtful, purposeful software. I didn't want to be part of an algorithm or a data-scraping scheme for AI. So I set some ground rules for my new digital life. I was looking for apps that were not US or Chinese-owned. If there was an app in the US that I absolutely needed, then it should be a nonprofit, like Firefox. If it was Canadian, my home turf, it jumped to the top of the list, but Australian and European apps were fine. Big Tech was an instant no. Here's what I ended up using: Sync instead of Google Drive Obsidian instead of Keep ToDoist instead of Tasks Elemental instead of chats Kobo instead of Kindle VLC instead of YouTube Music Firefox instead of Chrome Ecosia instead of Google Search Fastmail instead of Gmail I didn't expect perfection, but I hoped I could build a modern, and private, workflow that did 90% of what I used to do. What I ended up with was a fragmented, friction-filled experience that cost me a lot of money and valuable time. How my replacement apps fared Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I went with Fastmail to replace Gmail. This is a fast and clean email service from Australia. It's private, it handles email as well as Gmail, and it comes with a suite of tools included in the annual $50 fee. I ended up falling in love with Fastmail, and it has completely replaced all other emails in my life. I wish I could say the same for Sync. This is a Canadian cloud storage service with strong encryption and no tracking. It felt good ethically, but practically, I found it slow and clunky. File uploads from my Android took forever to appear on my PC, and the mobile app looks dated. I swapped out YouTube Music for my own MP3 and FLAC files, stored locally on my phone. It felt good to return to the old iPod days, and VLC has a solid music player that can handle pretty much any music file. I own thousands of tracks from the old days, and it felt liberating to stop renting my music from Big Tech. My switch to Kobo was similar, although now I was buying my ebooks from Indigo, Canada's biggest bookstore, instead of Amazon. It felt liberating to stop renting my music from Big Tech. Nathan Drescher Obsidian became my replacement for Keep and Docs, and it was not fun. Obsidian is powerful on desktop, but slow on mobile. I never liked how it looked or felt. While it got the job done, there was always something missing. I tried the plugins, read the forums, and watched the videos, but in the end, I ended up never using it. ToDoist, on the other hand, has always been a pleasure to use, and I will continue using it until the day they take my Android from my hands. Bogdan Petrovan / Android Authority I ended up falling in love with Firefox. Then, its owners decided to change the terms and declared ownership over everything I did in the app. I shopped around for a replacement and settled on Vivaldi, albeit reluctantly. Chromium still has Google's hands all over it, after all. The biggest failure was messaging. I experimented with Element, a decentralized, encrypted platform built with the Matrix protocol. It sounded like a great idea, but setting it up is a pain. Ultimately, getting anyone else to use it is impossible. Good luck explaining decentralized protocols to my mom. She's fine with Messenger. Going indie ended up costing more than sticking with one platform Andy Walker / Android Authority Everything felt disjointed without a unified ecosystem. Notifications were delayed, or didn't arrive at all. I'd create a task in ToDoist but it wouldn't show up in my Fastmail calendar. Saving a file from Fastmail to Sync meant first manually downloading the file, then re-uploading it. No drag-and-drop, no auto-sync. Even copying a link from Obsidian into an email felt like more work than it should be. The financial cost alone proved to be confusing. I subbed to ToDoist, Fastmail, Obsidian sync, and None were outrageous on their own, but each one added up. I was still paying a lot, and for a messier experience. That said, I did gain some privacy and was able to support companies I believed in. But that smooth, invisible infrastructure that makes tools feel like extensions of my brain was missing, and it wasn't any cheaper. What big tech actually gets right Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Big tech gets one thing undeniably right: integration. For all its flaws, everything just works. You don't often notice how smoothly files sync across devices, emails link directly to calendars, and messages flow to their recipient. Tasks appear on calendars while attachments can save directly to Google Drive or OneNote. This convenience is invisible until it's gone. There's also a kind of cognitive relief that comes from using an ecosystem designed to hold your entire digital life. You don't have to juggle tools or rewire your brain every time you switch tasks. Google, Apple, and Microsoft have spent years building systems that anticipate what you'll need next. It's an experience most indie apps just can't match. What I'm keeping, and what I've learned Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I'm not walking away from everything. Fastmail is staying, as is ToDoist. These are two solid apps worth every penny. I'm sticking with Vivaldi for now, using Ecosia as my search engine. I'm also sticking with local music files, and even set up a Plex server to stream videos and music from my PC to my Apple TV 4K. It just works. I'll keep Kobo, for now. I ditched everything else and went crawling back to Google. Keep is wonderful, and Google Drive has no equal. What I've learned is there is no such thing as a clean break when going indie. I know Proton is building its own ecosystem, with a simple single fee. I may try it next. In the meantime, it's hard to beat how good the big tech ecosystems makes everything feel.

I swapped my Bose Ultra Open for these $80 open earbuds — here's what happened
Price: $129 / £97Colors: GreyBattery life (rated): 8 hours; 40 hours (charging case)Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4Durability rating: IPX5Weight: 5.5g per bud Open headphones have become my go-to option for runs and other workouts, offering a good balance between the sound quality you get from in-ear buds and the awareness you get from the best bone conduction headphones. My favorite running headphones are the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which offer the best sound quality I've come across from open buds, and a comfortable, secure clip-on fit. No-one would say the Bose buds are cheap, however, so I was keen to see how the Nank Ultra open headphones compared, given they cost less than half the price. I tried the Nank Ultra clip-on headphones for a few weeks of workouts and general use and found they have a great fit and good sound quality for the price. They're a solid, affordable option for those who want open workout headphones in particular. Although the Nank Ultra open headphones have an MSRP of $129.99 / £97.31 they seem to always be reduced on the Nank website to $79.99 / £59.88, which puts them amongst the cheapest open headphones I've tested. The Nank Ultra buds are lightweight buds you clip on the middle of your ear so that a speaker rests near the ear canal without blocking it. There is only one color available — shiny grey. The buds don't look bad, but a strength of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in particular is the range of 10 colors to pick from. Given that clip-on buds resemble jewelry, a wider range of styles is always going to be better. A flexible band between the two pods on the headphones allows them to stretch and accommodate most ear types, and the fit was secure for me for a variety of workouts, including runs, bike rides and strength sessions. The buds also didn't place too much pressure on my ear, so they were comfortable to wear for several hours at a time. With an IPX5 rating the Nank Ultra buds are not fully waterproof, but will withstand sweat and rain during workouts, and I did several runs in wet conditions while wearing them. There are touch panel controls on each bud on the section that sits behind your ear. You can't customize these and I found that the controls were hard to use during workouts in particular, as some functions require you to hit the panel several times in a row. A button would be a lot simpler to use. For the most part I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the Nank Ultra headphones. The sound is not only clear and crisp in the upper ranges, but there's a good level of bass too, especially for open headphones. On busier tracks I noticed that the lower end did sound a little compressed at higher volumes, and I lost a lot of the drums when listening to Hole's "Celebrity Skin", for example, but for the price I don't have substantial complaints about sound quality. You don't get the noise cancellation of in-ear buds of course, and I found that the Nank buds can be drowned out when using them on trains or running by busy roads, but the volume is loud enough for most scenarios including when using the buds in a half marathon race with loud crowds on the sidelines. I also confirmed with those around me that they don't leak much sound even when playing music at high volumes. The call quality isn't great, however. Even in quiet environments I found that other people's voices sounded tinny and a little crackly, and they reported the same for my voice. Given the relatively small case and buds, the listed battery life of the Nank Ultra headphones is impressive at eight hours on the buds and 40 in total with the case. The case is charged via a USB-C cable. The buds lived up to their claimed battery life during my testing, and they outlast the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which offer 27 hours of battery in total. The Nank Ultra offer better sound quality than you'd expect for their price, and a comfortable and reliable fit for workouts. They aren't as good as the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, but cost far less, and are also cheaper than most earhook open buds I've tested like the Shokz OpenFit 2. I could see them being a good purchase for people who want open buds to use on occasion, such as when running outside or in an office where they want to hear others, but mainly use more expensive in-ear buds when travelling or when they want superior sound quality. In this situation spending hundreds of dollars on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds doesn't make a whole load of sense, and the Nank Ultra are much more affordable. If you're going to use open headphones are your main buds all the time, however, spending the extra on more impressive-sounding buds might be worth it.

How to tell if your number's been blocked — 5 tell-tale signs Android users need to know
As an Android user, you might wonder if someone has blocked your number — especially if your calls suddenly go unanswered or texts seem to vanish into thin air. There are many reasons why some people may reach for the block button. In some cases, it's a temporary escape. In others, it's more permanent. Some may want to exert greater control over a relationship or avoid negative interactions. Others are looking to cut real-world ties. Whatever the reason, it's important to respect a person's decision to block — but that doesn't make it hurt any less. Studies have shown it can lead to feelings of rejection, confusion, or anger. But first, you'll want to determine whether you've actually been blocked, especially if you're using an Android phone, where some signs can be subtle. Here we look at five tell-tale signs that someone doesn't want to interact with you — plus a few reasons why those signs might be misleading. If you've not heard from someone in a while, it may be a good idea to give them a call. Chances are it'll ring, you'll chat and everything will be ok. But if it rings once and then goes straight to voicemail, it's a good indication that your number has been blocked by the recipient. Numbers can be easily blocked on Android: it only requires a user to tap the Phone app, tap the More menu (the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the screen), tap Settings then select Block numbers. From there, it is possible to tap Recents or Contacts to choose a number to block or manually enter a number and tap the + sign. To be sure you have been blocked, it may be worth trying again later or on another day just in case the recipient simply had their phone turned off or had been suffering a poor signal. Before you give this one a go, it could be worth asking a friend or family member if they've been able to get through to the recipient — provided, of course, they are mutual friends. If that isn't an option, then you could try calling the contact yourself using a different phone number or device. Should that call not go straight to voicemail, you can decide whether to allow it to keep ringing until the recipient answers or just hang up. Can't access a different number? You can hide your own instead. To do so, add *67 before the phone number you are calling. Again, if it rings, you will know your number is blocked. If you have sent a few texts but you've yet to receive a reply, be patient. The person may yet respond and, as before, a lack of response could be due to them not having their phone turned on. They may even be busy! There are, however, some telltale signs that you may not get a response. Time is one — if you're waiting an extraordinary amount of time to hear back, you may have been blocked (to block in Google Messages on Android, a user has to touch and hold a conversation, then tap Block). Many messaging apps have read receipts. You will see them in WhatsApp, Signal, Google Messages and more. In the case of the latter, read receipts will depend on whether the recipient is allowing use of Rich Communication Services (RCS). In any case, take a look at your sent messages. In general, you will see a checkmark or two beneath a sent message, showing it's been successfully sent. If the checkmark is colored, it tends to indicate the message has been read. If you have either of these, you haven't been blocked. But what if you don't see any checkmarks appear? Well, the recipient either has read receipts turned off, doesn't have RCS, or has blocked you. No, this isn't a tit-for-tat move, but if you have an Android phone you can go into the Contacts app, look for the person you suspect is blocking you, make a note of their contact details, select the More menu and select Delete to remove. You can then go to the main Contacts screen, tap + and search for their name or number. If someone has blocked your number, you won't see them as a suggested contact. It's a neat little trick to try. Chances are that if someone has blocked your number, they've also sought to block you from contacting them in other ways. If you were connected on social media, you should go through your various social media accounts to see what the situation is. Some social media services such as X will tell you outright that you've been blocked, but others are more subtle. You may not be able to find someone's profile when searching, or you may be told you can't follow them due to their privacy settings. Sometimes, profile images are missing and online statuses are absent. Any of the above is a strong indicator that you've been blocked. So, now you know how to tell if someone's blocked you on Android. Just remember that if someone has blocked you, it's their choice. It's also a function that you may need to use as well. To that end, it's worth knowing how to block emails in Gmail, how to block a number on your iPhone and if you want some temporary peace, here's how to block all calls on Android. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
