LordOfLocksleyHow can I verify which apps will run on Graphene before migrating?
VikI think Plexus has the info you need
BroBot9000Fantastic link! Thanks for sharing
Very welcome, hope it helps in some way. Feel free to ask within the GOS community as well.
Generally, compatibility should be fine with sandboxed google play. I suppose plexus is relevant if you intend to completely avoid play services.
There is a similar app: github.com/jonathanklee/Sapio
However both are not GrapheneOS specific. apps marked as not working without Google Play services may work, in a GOS Profile where you install Google Play services.
In addition to what else was shared: GrapheneOS now has fairly nuanced options for running apps.
Things that previously would not run at all, now often run fine.
Many apps run afowl of the memory protections, but if you trust the app author, they can be disabled those protections just for that app.
This allows deciding how much to trust each app author.
I find it creepy that Google hasn’t back-ported more of these privacy features into stock Android.
Specifically regarding the two types you mention:
Regarding authenticators: I have yet to encounter one that fails on GrapheneOS. I have found some that only allow backups via Google services, which is insane to me, anyway.
Aegis is compatible with every MFA service I have tried it with, fully open source, available on F-Droid, and supports backing up to an encrypted file.
Regarding finance management apps: These have gotten super invasive, recently. Mine all work fine on GrapheneOS, but don’t play nice with routine VPN usage, or with ever having location services disabled even for a minute.
The saving grace is that all the finance apps I use have had perfectly functional websites, which cannot be made invasive, the way an app can.
