Hi there. I need to use my phone for work, but want to isolate anything that is work related. What’s the recommended way of doing so these days? Found the Foss app called Shelter, but found it to be a bit buggy and seems to have been a while since previous update. Let me know about any tips or recommendations regarding this! 🙌
I’ve used Island in the past and it worked fine
Interesting, could you share the fdroid link to that? Not seeing it on fdroid/droidify
Looks like it’s only on the play store and GitHub, you could use obtainium. But it’s not been updated since 2023 apparently.
There is a maintained fork of Island on F-Droid, called Insular:

Why not a second user profile?
Not sure why i didnt think of using the stock option for this tbh. But isnt that what shelter and these apps do anyway? What are the differences?
I’m just an average user, I don’t think I can give an accurate answer… But check this out…
Super helpful community. Tons of info available.
Short answer: No
I use it daily, it works wihtout issues for me, I don’t know what these dudes are talking about.
I have a Pixel 8 pro (with stock OS) and use Shelter to isolate my work apps. I have not had any issues. Super nice being able to just pause the whole suite of apps when I’m on PTO / away and don’t want to be bothered.
