F-Droid Basic

The minimal client app for the app store that respects freedom and privacy
NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

GrapheneOS Starterpack
A list of apps I use on GrapheneOS, but most also make sense on other operating systems.
Install "F-Droid Basic" and Obtainium, add a few repos to F-Droid by searching for "F-Droid known repositories"
Apps I Use on GrapheneOS
If you are using GrapheneOS on your main phone, then you have made the first and most important step towards privacy in your daily life (in my opinion of course). Most people use their phones more than any other device, and have their phones on them almost all the time, so ensuring that your phone is as private as you can reasonably and comfortably make it is a great move. Switching the operating system is only the first step however. If you move from an iPhone full of big tech apps to GrapheneOS and then install all those apps again, what is the point? Sure, you will have a more private and secure system, but you would subject yourself to being tracked every time you open an app. So, we need to find alternatives to these apps, that are open source, don't track us, keep everything possible local, and don't have an ulterior agenda beyond being the tool you are looking for.
My recommendation re Android/AOSP
