It's also worth keeping an eye on the great work **GrapheneOS** does on [their future app repository](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Apps). It will serve as a simple, secure, modern app repository, albeit only for a curated list of high-quality apps, some of which will have their own builds (for instance, Signal still uses their [original 1024-bits RSA key](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9362) that has never been rotated since then).

Some individuals have also falsely associated this article with GrapheneOS. _This article is an entirely independent work and unrelated to the GrapheneOS project. It was not written by a GrapheneOS developer and does not claim to represent the GrapheneOS project's official stance._ Either way, dismissing the article on the basis of association instead of addressing the actual technical content is silly and not helpful to anyone.
