To Be Free
A directory of truly free software
To Be Free — A directory of truly free software. It is a product built with the doaipm method, using Claude Code.
A directory that only lists genuinely free software — no ads, no tracking, no forced sign-ups. 69 curated tools, open-source first, sorted by use (productivity / design / media / development / utilities / privacy / office). Every one is hand-tried before it goes in — not a scraped list. It also includes a batch of our own original tools. The site itself is open source.
