I Migrated To An Almost All-eu Stack And Saved 500€ Per Year

Here is a breakdown of the tools I’m using, the money I’m saving, and the few hurdles I’m still trying to jump over.

by the way, this post is for personal setups not for companies. Yet, I think most tools can be used for teams and companies too.

The biggest impact on this migration has come from Proton. They have matured from a simple encrypted email provider into a (almost) full-suite productivity powerhouse.

Drive: Secure cloud storage, having docs for a while, and now also tables.

Proton Pass: A solid password manager with 2FA integration.

Standard Notes: My go-to for note-taking, now under the Proton umbrella.

Everything is integrated and the user experience is superb. I’m also eagerly awaiting the release of Proton Meet to complete the suite.

This entire setup replaces for me my Google Drive and Gmail ecosystem. Plus NordVPN, Notion, 1Password and Authenticator.

AI is the hardest thing to decouple from Big Tech, but improvements are happening fast here, too.

My default for Mammouth looks like this. You can sort them in your favourite order; whatever is leftmost is your default one.
