It’s barbones Android, without the Google. You can add the Google stuff if you want, but by default, it comes completely de-Googled.
It also comes with some extra features, like granular app-level permissions, sandboxed Google Play Services (which a lotta apps use), duress PIN, and more.
Widely regarded as the safest and most private “commercial” mobile operating system.
Disclaimer: I run SwapMyOS, a GrapheneOS/custom ROM installation service.
Okay, I’ll be that guy: Keep em in your password manager.
And don’t save them in your browser. In fact, turn autofill off for your browser altogether.
You can autofill from your password manager, or copy and paste instead.
Usually, security comes at the cost of inconvenience, but in this case it’s actually the opposite.
That’s dope, glad it could help 🤟
I’m starting to edit idcaboutprivacy more and more often (and that’s not a good thing)
Don’t mind me, just adding it to idcaboutprivacy
Gives me no pleasure to add it to idcaboutprivacy
Free and open source—feel free to contribute.
You can technically put GrapheneOS on a Fairphone, but it’s not officially supported.

Hopefully we can carry out the original mission with Signal.

Not all heroes wear capes
I’m tryna change this and raise awareness about the importance of privacy through this open source project called idcaboutprivacy.
Even though it’s not technically physical, GrapheneOS does have switches for both the camera and mic that disable them at the system level.
So if you answer a call, for example, you’re prompted to unblock the mic because the phone app is requesting to use the mic.
