A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)
Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device.
Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%)
I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time).
FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software
Into the Cyberverse
The ultimate list of apps/services for better Security, Privacy & Anonymity; Defense against Surveillance.
What sets this list apart is its commitment to authenticity:
No Sponsorship: Choices are made without commercial bias.
No Affiliate Links: Purely user-benefit-focused.
No Brand Deals: Independent and unbiased evaluations.
Strict criteria ensure the tools prioritize user welfare and software quality:
Opensource Preference: Prioritizing transparent and community-driven software.
Cross-Platform Availability: Emphasizing tools usable across multiple systems.
Active Development and Security Updates: Selecting only actively maintained tools with regular security enhancements.
Proven Track Record: Requiring a history of reliability and positive feedback.
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.

The best firewall for Android. It allows to hav firewall + VPN + Ad Blocker and more in one device. Tons of features my favorite is to block (isolate) apps with trackers and only allow the necessary urls to work. It has support for DNS over Https (personally I use NextDNS) Support WireGuard VPN configuration .
A life saver for privacy nerds
Support a lot of possibilities, stable, user-friendly... Perfect.
I'm always happy when multiple apps with their own features can be replaced by an all-in-one solution. This app has everything you need to secure your connection and self-monitor incoming and outgoing connections. It also includes features that most apps would charge for, and it might just become my favorite.
A few minor bugs, but the complete package: per-app IP/hostname white/blacklist firewall, DNS over HTTPS, per-app Tor, stats, custom settings, etc.
Best firewall for Android, it's feature packed. Network monitor, firewall, DNS resolving options, rules, adblocking filters,...
I am testing but I have found only this product that freely combines firewall, monitor connection and DNS choice, a full suite utility. I appreciate the possibility to block the ip address or the whole app engaging in internet traffic, the monitor feature is superb!
