“I got tired of ad-cluttered timers and paid sound apps, so I spent the last month building an aesthetic, 100% free study sanctuary (Cadenzato)”

Cadenzato

Noisli turns the rain off after 90 minutes unless you pay $12 a month. Cadenzato synthesizes it forever, free.

replacesSlack Pro · $8.75/user/mo

Deft

Slack bills you per head, per month, forever. Deft puts chat, tasks and notes on your own server and bills you nothing.

“This started with three things: wanting Slack to do more, a growing resentment of SaaS bills, and getting slightly too obsessed with self-hosting.”

replacesEvernote Starter · $14.99/mo

EdgeEver

Evernote wants $14.99 a month for your own notes, plus ads for free. EdgeEver is the three-pane notebook you run on Cloudflare's free tier or your own Docker box, apps included.

“Data export is cumbersome, free tiers are heavily restricted, and AI/MCP features require costly subscriptions.”

replacesMattermost Professional · $10/user/mo

Antimatter

Mattermost started paywalling features it used to give away and sells the rest by the seat. Antimatter is the fork with the licence checks pulled out: SSO, LDAP, no nag screens, no invoice.

“Unfortunately, after a few disappointments at a previous company actually trying (and giving up) to buy a licence, and after their latest actions, which I could only call backstabs (paywalling previously available features, putting arbitrary limits that previously didn't exist, or recently adding nag screens to push people into either buying their licence or just away from their platform altogether), I've ended up fed up with their BS and started to work on a fork.”
