Android
A customizable mobile operating system for phones and tablets
A privacy-focused mobile operating system with Android app compatibility

GrapheneOS is an open-source mobile operating system for supported Google Pixel devices, built around stronger privacy and security while retaining Android app compatibility. It adds protections to Android's app sandbox, memory handling, and permission controls, including separate switches for network and sensor access. Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes let people share selected information with apps, while separate user profiles help keep activities apart.
Users install GrapheneOS through its official web installer or command-line tools and receive automatic system updates. Google Play is optional and runs as ordinary sandboxed apps without privileged system access. The project also includes the Vanadium browser, a camera app, and device verification tools for people who want more control over their mobile environment.
