What are the coolest (privacy respecting) apps you have?

Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

Wait... How do you make SearXNG redirect to old.reddit?

Change your settings.yml to have this

enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

And then define the rules like this:

hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

Wow this feature alone makes me want to try using it

It runs inside a docker container, so you could even have it locally (if you don't want to host it on a VPS).
