| − | Beware, I support most of what Tristan Harris has to say about Smartphones -in short, I think most apps are shit and a means to occupy your attention.

| − | * First thing: Install some self hosted calendaring and cloud software (I use [https://www.zimbra.com/ Zimbra], as I don't have much need for file storage). Otherwise ownCloud or Nextcloud may be your thing.
| |
| − | * Second: Encrypt your device and it's SD-Card
| |
| − | * Follow one of the various How Tos for securing your device and disabling/uninstalling unwanted apps.
| |
| − | * Pay for the non-advertisement version of the apps you like (none of them cost serious money). Also -or especially- the Open Source ones. Even if they are only donationware.
