Apps and privacy tools I use/have used or recommend to secure your mobile devices running Android.
Sandbox environment to clone selected apps and isolate them from accessing your personal data (fork of Island with closed source parts removed).
Let's you isolate specified applications in a separate user profile that is "sandboxed" to prevent unwanted 3rd party access to your files and other personal data. It uses the built-in Android work profile feature to accomplish this.
KeePassDX is a material design KeePass client for managing keys and passwords in an encrypted database for your Android device.
In my opinion the best keepass-compatible password manager. Clean design and simple to use.
An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of mappings between hostnames and IP addresses. When an app requests an ad, that request is directed to 127.0.0.1 which does nothing.
Powerful hostname resolver ad-blocker. You can either use it with or without root, and in rooted mode will manage your systems hosts file for (almost) un-circumventable domain and hostname blocking! Without root it utilizes a local VPN server so that it can act as a man in the middle for all your DNS traffic.
If you don't upload posts or stories on Instagram, but you still have to use it to keep in touch with people and contents, you now have an alternative: Barinsta is a beautiful client that allows you to browse Instagram, while giving you more options to control your data.
Third-party Instagram client just filled to the brim with useful features such as the ability to download posts, and even collections of media in posts. Allows for browsing without logging into an account, too.
Privacy-respecting, open source camera app.
A wonderful fork of Chromium with lots of bloat and non-privacy-preserving components removed. It even includes support for custom user scripts and stylesheets!
