Thanks, I just bookmarked the page!
I posted it to the front so it can be seen easily
Nextcloud is German, I think.
The first I can think of (because I'm using them):
- Filen (E2E) encrypted cloud from Germany. Replaced my other cloud services for a few months now.
- Codeberg, for git stuff. I'm no dev (I just use it for my own little scripts) so I could not tell how feature-rich it is or if it lacks anything it is but so far it seems to be working great ;)
- Mullvad VPN, Swedish if I'm not mistaken.
- Should I also mention LibreOffice? It's not a European product, but its 'foundation' is German-based if I recall correctly.
- Hetzner a German company for cloud, webhosting and some other stuff I can't even begin to understand ;)
That said, I mostly focus on software being Free/Libre. Maybe in the coming years, with the rise shit nationalistic politics that we're witnessing, I will have to focus on EU-made products and services onlyโthat would be sad.

They're the power behind a lot of the Fediverse - long may they continue.
+1 to this.
LibreOffice, Odoo, Mastodon, Nextcloud and more. Lots of Linux distros and desktops are based in Europe.
There is a lot of FOSS done in Europe and EU is very proactive with it. CERN is really helping open hardware and KiCAD.
My friend uses zoner.cz for editing photos. The license is like 50โฌ and at least for us (we use it for editing photos for children group) they don't care about password sharing.
Affinity Photo used to be a European product, but the developer was recently bought by Canva, a multi national software company based in Australia.
You can however still buy a perpetual license for a one time fee.
Proton, Tutanota, Disroot & Codeberg
Controversial take, Spotify
platform.io is Ukrainian so is Grammarly and GitLab and Reface and Restream
Proton is probably my most used euroware.
Kolabnow for mail! Based in Switzerland, focused on privacy.
