[email protected] - @fdroidorg now passed the mark of 100 apps using #reproducibleBuilds (factor 10 to a year ago) – about 9 out of 10 apps recently added opted for that extra step. What does this mean to you? * you know #FDroid builds from source * you see the app is signed by the developer * => double trust! * plus: cross-updates. Already have the app installed from Play? Seamlessly switch over to F-Droid for the extra trust! Expect more and more #Android#apps at F-Droid using this :awesome: https://nlnet.nl/project/reproduciblebuilds/

TrackerControl TrackerControl allows users to monitor and control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour (‘tracking’). To detect tracking, TrackerControl combines the power of the Disconnect blocklist, used by Firefox, and our in-house blocklist is used, created from analysing ~2 000 000 apps! Additionally, TrackerControl supports custom blocklists. 💡 This approach 👉🏼 reveals the companies behind tracking, 👉🏼 allows to block tracking selectively, and 👉🏼 exposes the purposes of tracking, such as analytics or advertising. The app also aims to educate about your rights under Data Protection Law, such the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under the hood, TrackerControl uses Android’s VPN functionality, to analyse apps’ network communications locally on the Android device. This is accomplished through a local VPN server, to enable network traffic analysis by TrackerControl. 💡 No root is required, other VPNs or Private DNS are not supported. No external VPN server is used, to keep your data safe! TrackerControl even protects you against DNS cloaking, a popular technique to hide trackers in websites and apps. TrackerControl will always be free and open source, being a research project. https://trackercontrol.org/ https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android/releases/latest/download/TrackerControl-githubRelease-latest.apk #TrackerControl#data#collection#android#apps#opensource 📡@nogoolag

[email protected] - Drizzle in my repo today with 2 new apps. Most prominently: Watomatic – to help those of you still stuck at WhatsApp to leave that s(t)inking ship without being afraid "nobody can find you": it sends auto-responses to everyone writing you, telling them you've left and where to look. So: no more excuses, here's your door! https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parishod.watomatic​ Further running: SpaceXFollower (SpaceX events, facts, statistics) and Auxio, a nice music player, added yesterday. Enjoy #foss#Android#apps with #fdroid!

Insular Isolate your big brother app. This is a fork based on the excellent Island. Extra credit to Shelter which inspire me to make the completely FLOSS fork of Island. Differences from Island: Basically no difference, except that -all blobs (gms, crashlytics, etc) are removed to comply with F-droid's policy -Internet access of this app is removed because we just don't need it Features: Isolate app, for privacy protection. Clone app, for parallel running. Freeze app, to completely block its background behaviors. Hide app, for various reasons. Archive app, for potential future use on-demand. Use VPN only on one side, or different VPN on both sides. Prohibit USB access. https://gitlab.com/secure-system/Insular Get it on F-droid 📡@NoGoolag📡@Libreware #insular#island#shelter#isolate#apps
