EDS (Free Disk Encryption Software for Android)

VeraCrypt doesn’t recommend it, they only acknowledge its existence as a compatible mobile app:

Currently, there are no plans to develop an official VeraCrypt mobile app.

For such support, third party apps exist. Below is a list of the ones we are currently aware of, without endorsing any of them.

As pointed out by others, EDS is outdated which would definitely disqualify it. If it’s true that EDS NG is proprietary, that’d make it harder to recommend. But the minimum criteria only states “Cross-platform encryption apps must be open source” which sounds like it might not rule out something specific to either Android or iOS.

DroidFS seems to be the preferred open source VeraCrypt alternative on Android and has been recommended by some community members since 2022. The DroidFS tool recommendation thread has been dead since 2023 but we can bump it again to see if it should be added. It’d also be worth investigating options for iOS users since DroidFS is obviously exclusive to Android.
