In the near future, we plan to ship support for a per-app toggle for memory tagging, a per-app toggle for ptrace replacing the global one, duress PIN/password and a toggle for enabling Android Auto by granting a list of special privileges which can be reduced via shims over time.

We're also working on various other small features and initial work on some longer term projects including App Communication Scopes. In order to work on more at the same time, we need more developers, and we're currently moving forward with hiring additional full time developers.

This is a preview of App Communication Scopes from an incomplete proof of concept we made for a previous version. The goal is to provide the ability to disable communication with user installed apps within a profile with the ability to enable it on a case-by-case basis instead.

Screenshot of setting screen with a heading that reads "Restrict App Communication". Below the heading is a black and white icon of a cube with black outline. Below the cube icon is a title for the selected app, titled "Apps". Below "Apps" title, is a number 9. Underneath current app information, is a light blue bar with black text that is positioned to left side that reads "Restrict App Communication" and positioned to the right side is a switch toggled on. Below the bar is a list of several apps installed on the device, with app icons, titles on left side and switches on right side that are all toggled in the off position.

GrapheneOS already provides Contact Scopes and Storage Scopes as alternatives to granting apps contacts and media/storage permissions where apps will work without access to any of the user's data and the user grants it case-by-case. We plan to provide more features like these.
