Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1592

Just as a suggestion, not sure if it would be doable, but would it be possible to make a firejail app, have it run like as if it was the home screen, a overlay. Then any selected apps would be fire jailed, or would this not be possible

You mean a launcher like that included in Firetools?

Its not really needed anymore since you can just run 'sudo firecfg' once and then launch your applications normally. Any program with a profile will be sandboxed.

Both Android and iOS heavily sandbox apps.
If you want FOSS go install CopperheadOS, LineageOS, or Replicant. Stay away from root, Xposed and theme engines and only install apps from F-Droid and you'll be dandy.
