A curated list of technology projects and resources that promote digital wellbeing, privacy, and ethical design.
Awesome Humane Tech is a curated directory of technology projects and resources that prioritize human wellbeing, privacy, and ethical design. It addresses the negative impacts of mainstream tech, such as social media addiction and surveillance capitalism, by promoting alternatives that respect user freedom and societal health. The list is community-maintained and serves as a hub for discovering tools that align with humane technology principles.

It provides a centralized, vetted collection of humane technology solutions, saving users time in finding ethical alternatives and fostering a community dedicated to improving tech's societal impact.
