Digital empowerment

We want to raise awareness about the impact of digital technology on our lives, and show that alternatives to the web giants exist. It is possible to have a healthy and serene use of the Internet, while respecting our data and our personal lives!

Free and Emancipating Digital Tools

De-googl-ify Internet

Online services that respect our integrity, our privacy? From videoconferencing to diaries to discussion lists, Framasoft opens these (free) services to more than a million beneficiaries every month.

Framaspace

Framaspace’s objective is to enable associations and activist groups to use digital spaces for sharing and working in line with their values. This ambitious project will be carried out in several stages over the next 3 years.

Development of free and decentralised software

PeerTube

PeerTube (alternative to Youtube) is a free and federated software that not only allows to view, publish and interact with videos but also to create its own video platform. Independent, free and federated platforms are possible!

Mobilizon

Mobilizon (an alternative to Facebook events and groups) makes it easy to organize events and meetings. Framasoft created the project and led its development from 2018 to 2024.

Yakforms

Yakforms is the software currently powering our online forms service, Framaforms. Developed by Framasoft since 2016, it is now nearing the end of its life, and we plan to use the Liberaforms software to replace it.

Framadate

Framadate is also the name of the software (developed by Framasoft) behind the Framadate mini-survey service. Our flagship service is getting old and making changes to the software is proving to be complex. We are therefore thinking about its future regularly!

Democratizing free software

Framalibre

Framalibre is a directory presenting free software and free culture in general. The writing of the records is community based (like Wikipedia): all users are encouraged to create, improve and modify the records, to enrich the directory!

Contributions

We often contribute to the code of software we use. We have, among others, worked on Sympa (Framalistes – group emails), Nextcloud (Framadrive and Framagenda – storage, synchronisation, contacts calendar…) or Framadate (alternative to Doodle)…
