I used to run my creative life through spyware.

Docs in Google. Tasks in Trello. Notes in Notion. It worked until I realized who else it was working for.

Every brainstorm. Every file. Every draft. Indexed, mined, and sold.

It’s not just about privacy. It’s about control. If your tools serve surveillance capitalism, they don’t serve you.

So I killed the stack. Burned it down. Rebuilt from scratch with tools that answer to me.

No hype. Just what I trust now and why.

Excellent post. Do any of the solutions allow for Kanban-style boards?

Focalboard has a lot of templates that are kanban-esk and you can build your own. If you want something dedicated to kanban check out either:

https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard or https://github.com/NicolasHaas/golang-kanban

Both run in docker locally

Agreed. I've moved all my files to my own personal file server. Setup file and photo sync. Currently I'm just working on deleting the last of my data off Google Drive/Photos and making sure I have everything.

My email and other stuff has been off Google for years now. Just trying to cut the last few strands to other parts. Youtube and Maps are tough ones though...
