Welcome to the collaborative low-tech directory. The directory allows you to find low-tech actors near you. We do not collect any data.
The directory is not an exhaustive database of low-tech actors. It is the result of scouting by the Low-tech Lab, communities, low-tech explorers… It is constantly evolving thanks to the contributions of all low-tech actors in the world… and thanks to you, too!

A directory? But why not a cartography!
We have chosen not to display a map for several reasons: first, the display of a list of answers is lighter, requires less bandwidth, making the information accessible regardless of the quality of the user’s connection. Secondly, we do not ask for precise location information and thus respect the privacy of our visitors.

Seek and you shall find, but above all, contribute because these tools are open to all!
