This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PrivacyGuides

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • banking-apps-compat-report

    Report and track banking app compatibility with GrapheneOS, including which workarounds may be required.

  • One of the few limitations you may come across is apps like Banking Apps doing a SafetyNet check, some apps will pass and others may fail. There is a project tracking the status of these apps, and using the browser may be an alternative. There have also been times where GrapheneOS improvements have revealed issues with apps, such as previous memory corrpution issues with Unity. These issues were reported to Unity and patched, but if developers don't update their app's Unity engine then the app will continue to crash due to GrapheneOS protections (hardened malloc in this case).

  • plexus

    Remove the fear of Android app compatibility on de-Googled devices.

  • You can check what apps work or have issues on this site https://plexus.techlore.tech/ or with the app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/tech.techlore.plexus/

  • WorkOS
