While the web is full of reviews, this repo aims to cut through some of the noise and give yet another, user-level perspective. I'll cover the open-source apps I rely on, the commercial software I haven't found good FOSS or open-source replacements for, the settings and configurations I personally use, and even the small annoyances that I've run into over time.
Whether you're considering switching to GrapheneOS, have already jumped ship, or are just curious about using a privacy-focused, de-googled Android fork — this hopefully helps to get some insights.
The guide includes:
- A curated list of all the apps I use
Specific GrapheneOS settings and configurations I use- Some notes on what works well and what doesn't
- Some tips,
workarounds, and mini-guides based on experience
This guide is updated periodically as I discover new apps, refine my setup, or run into noteworthy issues. The deployed page always holds the most current source of information.
Found a typo? Have a suggestion? Feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request. This is a personal guide, but I'm happy to incorporate most feedback.
