Collection:IOS
This page is a fork of https://www.gnu.org/software/for-ios.html. I didn't start this page to propose changes to the Windows/iOS pages on gnu.org I rather want us to continue the work on the Free Software Directory. -- David Hedlund
We urge all iOS users to switch to a mobile device that supports Replicant.
Windows can be easily replaced with a free operating system on most PCs, but not iOS: there are ways to install Android on some iThings, but its free counterpart, Replicant, cannot be installed on any of them.
You may want to check the Runs-on/iOS category for more software.
If you are technically minded, you may find it interesting to build these apps from source code rather than download them from the App Store.
