Currently, I prefer the Kagi model as my daily driver – pay a small fee each month and not worry about having your search data, in all its forms, sold instead. They have some neat features, as well, like AI summaries and the ability to ask questions about pages. It’s those two features I have used to determine what kind of content, even musical, may be on the page for me without having to go to the page, itself.

There is also SearXNG, which is an open source, privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine. It can be self-hosted and also has a number of instances you can access.

Features like this exist for putting the phone back at rest when there hasn’t been a successful unlocking for X hours – GrapheneOS, an Android OS, has a similar feature. The objective is to limit the window of time an attacker has to try to exploit anything the phone may have in operation during a not-at-rest state (when the user is still ‘logged in’ to the phone, certain background services / features may be available to exploit).

Rebooting automatically, especially if the phone not has not been successfully unlocked recently, may place the phone in a less exploitable state, as those services / features might not be available without logging in first.

TrailSense, an easy to use, comprehensive wilderness tool.

The goals of the developer are fun to consider:

Goals

• Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire app usable when there is no Internet connection

• Features must provide some benefits to people using the app while hiking, in a survival situation, etc.

• Features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as guides

• Features must be based on peer-reviewed science or be verified against real world data

Likewise, the features being developed under those goals are great for getting outside:

Features

• Designed for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching
• Place beacons and navigate to them
• Follow paths
• Retrace your steps with backtrack
• Use a photo as a map
• Plan what to pack
• Be alerted before the sun sets
• Predict the weather
• Use your phone for astronomy
• And more
