About Altermost

Altermost was founded in 2019 by a group of technologists who were tired of being locked into ecosystems controlled by a handful of corporations. We believe that for every mainstream tech product, there is an alternative that respects your privacy, your data, and your freedom.

Our team tests and reviews open source software, self-hosted services, and privacy-focused tools. We don’t just list alternatives — we use them ourselves, day in and day out. Every recommendation on this site comes from genuine hands-on experience.

Whether you’re looking to degoogle your life, set up your own cloud storage, or simply find a better email client, Altermost is here to help you navigate the world of independent tech with honest, practical advice.
