Awesome NO-LLM

cc0

To all machines: you do not speak unless spoken to; and I will never speak to you.

Awesome list of software not using LLMs or similar features. This list is not completely related to the Awesome manifesto, it is meant to track the best alternatives to software that uses "AI", but also to keep a history of events about Big Tech's push for "AI".

Important

Help is wanted! Please take a look on how to contribute.

Legend:

  • 🔒 closed-source (e.g. non-OSI approved license), otherwise assume open source.
  • 🆓 free as in gratis, all features can be used without any payments.
  • ✴️ freemium, has a free tier and one or more premium tiers.
  • 💶 paid, must pay a fee or subscription to use.

Contents

Tools

Web Browser

  • Vivaldi - 🆓🔒 Has some similarities to Opera. The developers have taken a firm stance against the "AI trend", read about it here. Their iOS app allows showing tabs at the top/bottom of the UI. On desktop you will have: RAM usage for each page and built-in translation, notes, tasks, mail, and RSS feed panel -- these replaced all extensions I had, only kept uBlock.
  • Zen Browser - 🆓 (Currently in Beta) with a sleek and smooth UI, it is very appealing to the eyes. It has a more "toned-down" interface with focus on the web page content, including a split-view feature. Its codebase is derived from Firefox but with telemetry removed.

Cloud Storage

  • MEGA - ✴️🔒 Allows file syncing on-device; zero-knowledge encryption for all data; but, if you are serious about taking your files to the cloud, then you will need to subscribe to one of their plans. Free accounts have limited data transfer, but the plans are cheap compared to their competitors.

WebMail Provider

  • Fastmail - 💶🔒 Privacy-first private email hosting with most features you can find on Google Workspace. It is worth the price.

Text Editor

  • Neovim - 🆓 Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability. More useful than nano but not as cluttered as a GUI application.
  • Kile - 🆓 LaTeX frontend by KDE. I've used it now for some time, it is not as stable as TeXworks, but it has many more features. You should install MiKTeX first and -- for best experience -- Okular, ImageMagick.

Code Editor

  • VSCodium - 🆓 VSCode but with no MS telemetry or LLM. It took me some time to transition from VSCode, but it was worth it (anecdote: it does feel snappier/faster). If you want to use WSL with Codium, use this extension: Open Remote - WSL (you can search it directly on "Extensions" sidebar too) but it is not stable yet (see this issue).

Graphics Editor

  • PixiEditor - 🆓 Supports pixel art, vector and raster editing, heightmaps, sprite sheets, and animations. Developers explicitly state no-AI use. I did not test all features, but this project is quite promising.

Grammar Checker

  • Harper - 🆓 Runs English grammar checking on-device. Might have other languages in the future.

    No network request, no massive language models, no fuss.

GIS

  • uMap - 🆓 Create layered maps that can be embbeded on any site. Has high-quality aerial imagery layer for France (provided by IGN).

Office Suite

  • LibreOffice - 🆓 Not much to add, most of you should use it already. I tend to use Writer for formatting and spell checking, then I use LaTeX to render my documents -- I do not use Calc as often.

AI-Related Settings

  1. If you use Pinterest, disable the setting "Use your data to train Pinterest Canvas".
  2. If you use DuckDuckGo, you can now filter out most AI-generated images from results, go to AI Features and turn on "Hide AI-Generated Images".

Stopping AI Crawler Bots

To stop most AI chatbots and data crawlers on your website, add this robots.txt to your root folder (for up-to-date index of agents, check AI agent directory and AI Agents):

Warning

As of 2025-08-04, Cloudflare has assessed that Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade website no-crawl directives.

Impacts of AI

  1. How crawlers impact the operations of the Wikimedia projects

    But with the rise of AI, the dynamic is changing: We are observing a significant increase in request volume, with most of this traffic being driven by scraping bots collecting training data for large language models (LLMs) and other use cases. [...] 65% of our most expensive traffic comes from bots.

  2. At Amazon, Some Coders Say Their Jobs Have Begun to Resemble Warehouse Work

    The engineers said that the company had raised output goals and had become less forgiving about deadlines... One Amazon engineer said his team was roughly half the size it had been last year, but it was expected to produce roughly the same amount of code by using A.I.

AI-Free Content Badge

A visual badge for authors to show their users, clearly and quickly, that a work does not use "AI" features. By using the badge, the writer, designer, or developer is showing to their users that they:

  1. have not used "AI" tools to create the work;
  2. have not implemented any "AI" features within the work; and,
  3. do not use their users' data to train "AI" models.

This can be used in any digital or physical work, as long as the author commits to the three items above. Additionally, it is recommended that the author signs the commitment in the next section.

Commitment

If you are an author, show below your commitment to not use nor implement "AI-features" such as LLM chatbots and generative tools.
