My "Top" apps are what I think are cool, not necessary what the most useful apps are to me.
Briar its a peer to peer communications app that can communicate via wifi, blutooth, or through the internet via Tor. It can form a sort of mesh network with devices in proximity. Hypothetically, with enough users, you could spread information across a long distsnce even with a nationwide shutdown of the internet like some authoritarian countries do.
There's already some public forums on there by connecting to random people around the world via Tor, although, these forums doesn't have much activity now. But it exists and thats so cool. Its like a secret corner of the internet, even more obscure than the "dark web"
Wasted Remember those news about iPhones randomly restarting in police storage lockers? This app does something even better. Amongst many functions, this app can let you set your phone to auto-wipe itself if not unlocked for X amount of time, ranging from 5 minutes to 7 days. (Warning: You may get in legal trouble for using this, if you get arrested and the phone auto-wipes, you could get a "Destruction of Evidence" charge. I am not a lawyer. You might wanna consult a lawyer before using this)
OpenKeychain Just a PGP tool for Android, pretty straightforward. Very cool to have a digital signature right in your pocket to validate your online identity with other internet users. Potentially useful for
secret drug tradesahem just kidding lol, don't do drugs, kids. (Seriously, don't),> Warning: You may get in legal trouble for using this, if you get arrested and the phone auto-wipes, you could get a "Destruction of Evidence" charge
One could defend itself alleging that they had the app in order to prevent themselves from being blackmailed and/or extorted by robbers which could try to access the phone contents in order to extract information from banking apps, photos, social networks and personal information.
Defending oneself from malicious actors (such as robbers) shouldn't be a crime.
Or alternatively, don't even mention you have such an app and when they ask if you had anything to do with the phone getting wiped, you say "hmm that's odd, it must been some sort of hardware failure, I've heard that [Phone's Manufacturer] have had some issues with quality control, perhaps that's the reason"
You're not lying, you're just suggesting a possible reason: hardware failure. And every manufacturer had quality control issues, it wouldn't be odd for you to have heard about such news, or even just rumors amongst people about a company's quality control issues.
Interesting possibility, either.
