For example, using Obtainium to install Signal from [Signal's APK landing page](https://signal.org/android/apk/) should be fine, but installing from third-party APK repositories like Aptoide or APKPure may pose additional risks. + +Obtainium can also be used to download apps from F-Droid repositories, and may serve as a useful alternative to the official F-Droid clients. However, we generally recommend against apps built by F-Droid or from unofficial F-Droid repositories: Read [our notes on F-Droid](#f-droid) below for more information. + ### GrapheneOS App Store GrapheneOS's app store is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Apps/releases). It supports Android 12 and above and is capable of updating itself. The app store has standalone applications built by the GrapheneOS project such as the [Auditor](https://attestation.app/), [Camera](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Camera), and [PDF Viewer](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/PdfViewer). If you are looking for these applications, we highly recommend that you get them from GrapheneOS's app store instead of the Play Store, as the apps on their store are signed by the GrapheneOS's project own signature that Google does not have access to. diff --git a/docs/tools.md b/docs/tools.md index 4fcc421b..7797f120 100644 --- a/docs/tools.md +++ b/docs/tools.md @@ -427,6 +427,7 @@ We [recommend](dns.md#recommended-providers) a number of encrypted DNS servers b
