โŒจ๏ธ Link Source Code first

This again is about promoting applications. Please include a link to the source code of the application at the top. If the application is hosted on F-Droid, a single link to the F-Droid page is OK, as it includes all relevant information.

GrapheneOS does this- contacts and storage have scopes such that you can fake out the app into thinking it has access but really quarantine it to a specific folder. I use this for things like applications where I want it to have file access for photos, but only the photos I send to that folder.

GrapheneOS

Yeah, but only few newest Pixels are supported.

Kinda workaround is the Insular.

For good reason! Security updates are super important and the project extends upon having regular updates there.
