Hi, Quick Cursor dev here.
I completely agree with you, my app functionality should be built inside the OS because of better integration, privacy reasons, etc.
I just wanted to add that because of this permissions my app needs in order to work, I will never add the internet permission to Quick Cursor. I took this decission 5 years ago when I started the app because I understood the privacy risk, and my app will never have internet access permission.
In order for an app to have access to internet, it needs to have the android.permission.INTERNET added to its manifest, otherwise it won't work. This can be checked easily, there are some apps that shows you this info about your installed apps, or by manually looking at the AndroidManifest in the .APK of the app.
Thank you for making this!
I am using GrapheneOS, and I think this OS actually also allows you to explicitly toggle the Network permission off for apps that require it, but I did notice that it wasn't even present on the list to begin with :). I also like to disable Network for things like keyboard apps.
I'm glad you like it. That's an awesome feature that should be implemented into all Android devices.
