Thanks for the reply, aside from not getting much interest in this post I really appreciate the two open source apps you’ve suggested on Fdroid.
I use Island currently, but it’s outdated now, and Shelter seems like the way to go. I also didn’t know about the contacts app that you suggested, but I will check it out for sure. Cheers again.
I’ve been on the Android ecosystem for 15 years, I literally thought this was an onion article.
