Let’s build a useful collection of must-have F-Droid apps!
Shelter - isolate and run multiple instances of apps using Work Profiles.
Similar to Island and Insular.
Could anyone ELI5 the difference between all these? Is there a “stock” Android work profile possible also?
Work profile is basically a second set of apps with a little briefcase badge that coexist next to your other apps. You/work chooses which apps are installed. They can’t access the data in your actual profile and vice versa. You don’t log out and in, it’s just 2 containers spaces.
Private space is basically another such container, meant to be a 2nd personal one, but the apps aren’t seen next to the others … Theyre inert and hidden until you unlock the private space (pin/print/etc)
I think Android 15 is needed or thereabouts.
IDK about this 3rd party one being mentioned by adding it to my todo list
Thanks for the explanation. I’m just curious how island is different from shelter and insular.
Now You can have Private Space integrated into Android Out of the Box
Private space works slightly differently especially when it comes to folder organization. Because of that I actually still prefer Shelter, personally.
