A good way to up your privacy on your phone. This app has been great for pushing me to find FLOSS alternatives.

Just adding on to this: If you want apps to be scanned before you install them, Aurora store has built in integration with exodus, so you can know before you download.

Thanks for sharing, OP!

Good callout. I'd recommend this as a first step when downloading apps through Aurora.

I understand the worry and depending on your threat model this could be an issue. But looking through the code I don't see anything personal being sent over to the exodus servers. If you're worried about sending data that could identify you, I don't see this app being a problem.

But OpSec is personal and multi layered so another less invasive option is to directly use the exodus website to look up any apps you have questions on https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
