    My main concern wit Briar is that it would be of not much use without a smartphone (I meant the internet-less features in particular). I would not trust sensitive things to a smartphone. I wonder if soemthing like that could be doable with an Android VM or Waydroid with a laptop’s bluetooth…

      Maybe. Check out Android Subsystem for Windows. It’s essentially an Android VM though you don’t have a launcher/home screen. You just see the apps in your task bar like any windows app. I run it on an older laptop, it’s a touch slow but works well enough.

        Windows is as much of a spyware as an average smartphone though, so not much of a point.

        Edit: I should try it in Waydroid then.

          Lol, true. I just assume most people are using it.

          I’m working on getting away from it, been stuck on fining a OneNote replacement.
