GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile operating system built on Android. It’s developed as a non-profit open source project and is widely considered the gold standard for mobile security.
Why GrapheneOS?
Stock Android, even on Pixel devices, sends telemetry data to Google constantly. GrapheneOS eliminates this entirely while maintaining full Android app compatibility through sandboxed Google Play.
Key Security Features
Verified Boot
Every time your phone starts, GrapheneOS cryptographically verifies that the operating system hasn’t been tampered with. If any modification is detected, the device refuses to boot.
Hardened Memory Allocator
GrapheneOS uses a custom memory allocator that makes entire classes of memory corruption vulnerabilities unexploitable. This is one of the most significant security improvements over stock Android.
Network Permissions
Unlike stock Android, GrapheneOS lets you control which apps can access the internet. This prevents apps from phoning home, sending analytics, or leaking data without your knowledge.
Storage Scopes
Apps can only access the files you explicitly grant them access to. No more apps silently scanning your entire storage.

The easiest way to get started with GrapheneOS is to purchase a pre-configured privacy phone from LainCollective. Every device ships with:
- GrapheneOS installed and configured
