+<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 &mdash; 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.

+  Signal is a free encrypted instant messaging and voice calling program.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  It can send and receive personal messages, group messages, messages with
+  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

+  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

+  <p>
+  Vim is a free extensible command-based text editor.

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