Looking for a privacy focused travel assistant on mobile

Heya, as the title suggests. I have tried the KDE Initary (on mobile), but the user experience didn't quite flop-my-mop. It is however the better one in terms of privacy as far as I have found. Are there any other ones that you folks know of and would recommend? Looking for an app that specifically can hold boarding passes....

I am going on trips with Anytype as well. Worked fantastically for my last two week-long trips. Relatively quickly, you can prepare on your PC an itinerary with files such as boarding passes, tickets, both as a normal file and embedded images to show at gates and similar. You can copy-paste e-mails, information from the web, links (URLs, etc. with additional context). Prepare for your travels, tick off things to do before leaving for your trip as well as creating tasks (as reminders, though without an actual reminder in your notification bar on mobile. You have to check the app for them.) to do before each day on the trip. All of this can be dumped into a single “page”, or organized into a hierarchical structure annotated by tags, relations between the objects and more.

To put it simply, I always find something missing in various itinerary apps. Anytype gives me the freedom to input every and all type of information I need for and during the trip.

Slight warning: If you input the files on PC, you need to them click on them (download them to your local storage) in the mobile as well. Then you can access them without requiring connection to the internet from your mobile later on. If you do this, everything you put in your Anytype itinerary will be accessible offline. Ideally, try accessing everything on mobile when your Wi-Fi and data connections are turned off.

It is way better now, but it is still a work-in-progress, especially regarding some more advanced features (none of which I found myself missing when on trips) and some polishing (not enough man-power to polish everything as of now).

Aegis is so great especially because it allows you to set an automatic backup every time you add a new TOTP. This way, a backup is made immediately after modifying the MFA vault, stored in your phone storage, where it can be grabbed by your synchronization system of choice (e.g., Syncthing), replicating the backup on your other devices, for example. This way, you can rest assured you will always have your MFA vault no matter what.

Syncthing encrypts the data, so it will be encrypted when being transferred. However, Aegis can export the vault into an encrypted file, too. So the vault file you will be transferring over an encrypted channel is encrypted itself as well. That means that the vault is secure even when at rest on some device.

I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars

Mozilla released their studies, and I'm seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail. I remember how this issue wasn't talked about earlier because "just buy an older car" was still prevalent. I'm so happy that people are taking notice. Thank you to this community and Mozilla...

People are starting to comment on the topic and take notice? That is great to hear. It is not often that this happens when such a study is released. It might be that ordinary people who lack the knowledge on the subject may be able to comprehend the concerns regarding privacy in cars more readily than in other areas. Whatever the case is, I'm happy the discussion is finally happening.
