Vodaphone DreamLab offers a similar platform for donating CPU time, including for COVID-19 research. If you're not already running BOINC on your phone, give DreamLab a try. https://www.vodafone.co.uk/dreamlab/ |

Hm, mobile only and it is not clear if it is even available outside of UK. |

I was able to use the Android app on my Moto x4 in the United States without issue for months as a "back up" for when World Community Grid wasn't offering Android tasks. I will say I removed the app recently as it had been crashing but that could have been for any number of reasons and for all I know it's been updated/fixed. Unlike BOINC you don't need to create a login, which for someone who just wants to help via mobile without tracking stats makes for easy trial setup. |

I'm not sure I'd use this on my primary phone, just because of heat and battery issues even though it only runs when plugged in... BUT, I did have 2 older phones that I should have recycled long ago in my desk drawer. They are now setup to run this on the corona project 24/7. If those older phones die no big deal. |

I set mine to use 3-4 cores, and it barely gets warm. It gets way hotter when I'm bored and play stuff on it. I'm a bit concerned about the disk writing tho. Not sure how much each WU writes to the phone's storage. |
