<p>
<strong>Droid-Break</strong> is a list of <em>free and open source</em> Android apps inspired by <a href="https://prism-break.org" target="_blank">prism-break.org</a>.
We want to show you <em>high quality alternatives</em> to the big proprietary solutions.<br />
Please note that open source apps don't guarantee absolute freedom, e.g., an open source Twitter client still sends everything to Twitters' servers.<br />
Anyway, we believe it's the best we can come up with and that in many cases it's the better choice.<br />
If you think an app is missing please write an <a href="support.html">email</a>, a <a href="https://twitter.com/droidbreak" target="_blank">tweet</a>, a <a href="#disqus">Disqus</a> comment, or fork the project on <a href="https://github.com/repat/droid-break" target="_blank">GitHub</a> and make a pull request.<br />
</p>
<p>
You will find most of these apps in the <a href="https://f-droid.org/" target="_blank">F-Droid</a> repository.
Also, you might want to consider flashing a custom ROM like <a href="http://www.cyanogenmod.org/" target="_blank">CyanogenMod</a> or <a href="http://replicant.us/" target="_blank">Replicant</a> on your device.
