Howdy everyone! I'm happy to say I've finally gotten off the iOS ecosystem and loaded into grapheneos! Does anyone have any recommendations for apps to get? I've been away for a long time and saw tachiyomi was killed so I've lost my edge on apps for this side of the mobile space. Currently I've got: F-droid (god I'm happy this has never died) Aurora store Obtanium Mihon (I think this might be a successor to tachiyomi) And the fossify communication apps (phone, messages, contacts) But let this also be a good thread for others like me having privacy back in their lives, even if a slow transition like mine.

  • VLC, for local video and music playback
  • Google Cam and Photos from the aurora store. I just dont give them internet access.
  • Image Toolbox, i dont really need/use it. But it has cool tools for image manipulation

Thank you for the suggestions! I've just gone and installed half your recommendations after reading them.

IronFox having uBlock Origin offered at first time setup was so premium that was so nice.

To add to the list:

  • F-droid Basic (app repository/app store)

  • LibreTorrents (for downloading Linux ISOs)

  • Obtanium (supposedly, a safer way to install apps from F-droid, etc)

To clarify Obtainium is used to get and update apps from github/gitlab/forgejo/dev website directly and somewhat comfortably. Instead of using f-droid as an appstore.

Why you might want to do that is eg explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAoCfrqxIEg

Personally(!) idgaf and just use f-droid. This is no security advice because am dumb.
