ANONguard vs RecollDroid
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
ANONguard
ANONguard anonymises the Internet connection. In the process, the IP address of the smartphone is hidden with the help of the AN.ON anonymisation service (https://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/).
RecollDroid
RecollDroid is an Android front end to the Recoll full text search engine typically used to index all of your desktop/server files. For more information on Recoll, see https://www.recoll.org RecollDroid consists of an andriod ui and a thin server layer providing a RestAPI interface to the Recoll software. It uses Recoll's python API and supports multiple users securely via basic auth over https. The server layer makes use of FastAPI to provide the restful endpoints for the UI. It contains no authentication code itself but depends on a proxying layer to ensure only validated users can connect. The supported setup is to use the Nginx reverse proxy to perform basic auth together with the unit app server to host the recoll rest api.
