This was forked with the same name and that version is still maintained. Unfortunately it still has the same issue of minimal effectiveness due to being.based on detecting known malware not malicious behavior of apps and services. There is a lot an app can do without any permissions given.

Android - Open-Source, Privacy, and convenience

The best Android apps for privacy and convenience. Open-source preferred. Remember, the most secure way to download an app is from its repo, such as Github. The Google Play store is actually more secure than F-Droid, as long as the app is trustworthy. All of these have been tested as working on GrapheneOS and Android. But remember, the more apps, the higher the attack surface.
