Privacy is not isolation.
All of your favorite apps are available on your phone, but they run in their own sandboxed environments, helping prevent them from tracking you or accessing sensitive data elsewhere on your device. With additional controls like Storage Scopes and Force Stops, you can decide exactly what an app can access and cut off its access when you're done using it.
That said, we encourage you to explore open-source, privacy-focused alternatives whenever possible. There’s an incredible community building apps that respect your privacy without sacrificing the features you rely on—and we’ve included some of our favorites to help you get started.
Your Apps. Your Rules.
Granular Privacy Controls
GrapheneOS gives you control over what every app can access—not just the usual permissions. Block network access, restrict sensors, limit storage with Storage Scopes, control contacts, and more. Give apps only what they need, and nothing more.
Google Play. Privately.
Sandboxed Google Play
You don't have to give up your favorite apps to get more privacy. GrapheneOS lets Google Play run as ordinary sandboxed apps, without the privileged system access it normally receives on Android. Use the apps you need while keeping control over their permissions and data.
Security Hardened.
Advanced Exploit Protection
GrapheneOS hardens Android at its foundation, using technologies such as hardware memory tagging, hardened memory allocation, stronger app isolation, and other exploit mitigations designed to make attacks significantly harder.
The Best of Both Worlds.
Privacy doesn't mean disconnecting from the world.
A GrapheneOS phone combines the premium hardware, cameras, performance, and everyday convenience of a flagship Pixel with the relentless privacy and security mindset of an open-source community.
You get the apps you love, the services you rely on, and the smartphone experience you expect—while gaining far more control over what those apps can access and what your phone shares. GrapheneOS is built around privacy and security without sacrificing usability or app compatibility.
What is GrapheneOS?
Standard smartphones track your location, log your activity, and leave your personal data exposed to corporate surveillance and cyber threats. GrapheneOS changes everything. Built as a security-hardened, non-profit operating system, it completely strips away background telemetry while engineering bulletproof defenses into your hardware.
