+<h2>Free Software for iOS</h2>
+
+<p>
+Here is a list of free iOS programs which can also run on
+<a href="http://www.replicant.us/">Replicant</a> and/or
+can exchange data with Replicant programs — along with the proprietary
+applications they replace. Using these programs is only
+a small step toward freedom, and we encourage all iOS users to switch to
+a mobile device that supports Replicant as soon as possible.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We have a page
+<a href="/software/for-windows.html">for-windows.html</a>
+which explains how to install free applications on
+Windows as a first step towards replacing Windows with
+<a href="/distros">GNU/Linux</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+While Windows can be easily replaced with a free operating system
+in most cases, the same cannot be said about
+iOS - there are ways to install
+<a href="/philosophy/android-and-users-freedom.html">Android</a>
+on some iThings but its free counterpart, Replicant,
+cannot be installed on any of them.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Additionally, there are a few apps for iOS whose source code is free.
+In order for the executable of an app to be free, in a practical sense,
+one needs to jailbreak the iThings it runs on,
+because only thus is it possible to run a modified version of the app.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+These reasons (along with <a
+href="/proprietary/malware-apple.html">these</a>)
+could be sufficient for us to avoid recommending
+any iOS apps altogether, however we feel that it is important
+to list those few free programs which
+can also run on Replicant or can interoperate with it.

+ embedded media (such as voice clips) and attachments.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Signal employs end-to-end encryption and measures to prevent
+ man-in-the-middle attacks.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Signal only runs on iOS, however its developers released compatible
+ Replicant programs called
+ <a href="https://github.com/WhisperSystems/RedPhone">RedPhone</a>
+ (for voice calls) and
+ <a href="https://github.com/whispersystems/textsecure">TextSecure</a>

+ OnionBrowser is a free web browser which encrypts all web traffic through
+ the Tor network.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ On Replicant, similar functionality is offered by
+ <a
href="https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=orbot&fdid=info.guardianproject.browser">Orweb</a>,
+ or by running
+ <a

+<dd>
+ <p>
+ VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable
+ multimedia player for various audio and video formats
+ (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, OGG, etc.) as well as
+ DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also
+ be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in
+ IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
+
+ VLC is also avaiable

+ On Replicant, a version of Vim optimized for touch screens called
