These are apps and projects made by unaffiliated developers. This list features alternative clients, SDKs, tools, bots and datasets to improve or build upon the default user experience across various social media platforms. Also included are solutions that repurpose social media platforms and their content in elevated ways. No dead or broken projects - all apps in this list are checked automatically weekly for OK response and will be removed following failure. Open source projects must not be archived and must show recent commit activity (<= 12 months) to be included. No sketchy extensions that must be run in dev mode.
