Privacy librem5 app whishlist

Hardware Librem 5
4

My App-Whish-List for the Librem 5 based on Android Apps:

  1. KeepassXC
    At least a Client which is compatible to Keepass Databases

  2. OpenVPN
    I think that’s a pure a must have

  3. Orbot, Orfox
    Or any other easy way to access TOR

  4. Jondonym
    Old fashiones, not up to date with encryption but convenient and still better than (public) VPN’s

  5. Silence (SMS Secure)
    An easy way to encrypt Standard-SMS

  6. Conversations
    A Jabber-XMPP Client, which is able to handle OMEMO

  7. Riot.im
    Even though I’m not in line with the Privacy Statement of Matrix and even though I still do not understand, why it is not possible to finally delete a complete Room as a Room-Admin (which actually is a privacy no-go).

  8. Secure WiFi Manager
    Keeps Privacy and saves a lot of Battery: By analyzing the Base-band-Towers, it detects, whether your are close to known WiFi and switches WiFi on and off automatically

  9. NextCloud Client
    Simply a must-have. Of course including Contact-, Calendar- and Task-List Synchronization.

  10. AIMSICD / Snoopswitch
    Get an idea on the Mobile-Phone-Network, Silent SMS, IMSI Catchers and other nasty stuff

  11. OpenKeychain / GnuPG
    Painful but still necessary :wink:

  12. Browser with Privacy Features or Plug-In’s
    NoScript, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin

  13. SMS Theft Control
    There is no Open-Source-App available for this functionality, at least as far as I know …
    Define a another specific Mobile Phone Number from which (and only from this Number) you can sent encrypted Commands with a hashed Password like:

  • locate -> submits the Geo-Coordinates of the lost / stolen phone to the other Mobile Phone
  • submit -> sent a Message to the lost or Stolen Mobile Phone, visible on the Lock Screen (Give me back my phone, please call the following Number…)
  • erase -> Throws away the encryption keys of the lost / stolen Phone
    There are other Commands, which could be useful.
    At least such solution would avoid using the usual spying 3rd Party Servers for such functionality.
  1. Firewall between Base-band- and Application Processor
    Of course only possible if Base-band- and Application processor physically 2 devices, which so far is not available in the market (unfortunately)

That’s so far my basic “should have”-Privacy-List.
