Hey everyone!

So, I’ve made some small progress in switching things up on my Android:

Replaced  Gmail app with Thunderbird
Replaced Google Calendar with FOSSify Calendar
Replaced Google Play Store with Aurora & F-Droid
Replaced  Android file manager with FOSSify File Manager
Replaced  Android keyboard with Heliboard

But now I’m hitting a wall trying to find  ones on root of problem:
free replacement for Gmail
free Google Calendar alternative that works well
 on both Android and via Thunderbird    Windows

Self-hosting isn’t really an option for me, so I’d love to hear your suggestions!

If you’ve found something you really like, please share your experiences.

Thanks!

    I would recommend against Proton, it’s just a matter of time before their CEO starts tweeting again.

    Calendar+contacts: use Baikal

    As for email, I went with a cheap no frills service like migadu

      Any CEO can tweet some garbage, this doesn’t change the code and the developers views/work.

      I would recommend against Proton, it’s just a matter of time before their CEO starts tweeting again. I kind of agree on Proton, besides it has no free version works with Thunderbird email/calendar integration

      Calendar+contacts: use Baikal that is a self -hosting one if I am correct as I mentioned earlier as follows : Self-hosting isn’t really an option for me"
