What is Smoke ?
See here. Very interesting, but sounds a bit like it's not really that far in terms of development, probably one of the established encrypted messenger is still better for everyday use. Still interesting!

How do you like to set up your custom Android ROM?
Because knowledge empowers privacy, I install Exodus, Warden, and Privacy Dashboard (works just like Vigilante). Those apps to give me an idea of what's going on behind the scenes with my installed software. Exodus and Warden are slightly redundant, but Warden gives you really nice visuals and graphs.

Does anyone know of a way to log which apps access different permissions on your phone? Android specifically.
So basically its an open source app which is available on F-Droid App Store. It could be useful for users who are Android 11 or lower version. It indicates you if any application is using your Location, Camera, Microphone by showing a DOT on the top right corner of the screen and also gives a notification about it but doesn't tell you which application is using it.
