Free Android Apps

The following is a list of apps that I use on my GrapheneOS phone. I am hoping that this can serve as a reference for those who may be looking for free software alternatives to mainstream (proprietary) crap-ware.

These are all obtainable either directly from f-droid.org, or via a separate compatible repository.

Besides these, I use the following apps included with GrapheneOS: Phone (dialer), Files, Camera (I have found that it takes better pictures than Google Camera), and PDF Reader. These are all better than basically any other alternatives I have found.

Proprietary Apps

I use the private space feature which is included nowadays with GrapheneOS. It offers the isolation of a separate user profile with the convenience of a work profile managed by an app like Shelter.

Basically, it allows you to install a separate “private” profile within your main profile with isolated (sandboxed) Google Play services. It is also easily (or automatically) “locked” when not in use, which effectively shuts down all apps within the private space.
