What is GrapheneOS?

GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed as a non-profit open source project. It’s focused on the research and development of privacy and security technology including substantial improvements to sandboxing, exploit mitigations and the permission model.

What Pixel phones are recommended?

6a, 7, 7a, 7 Pro, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold,  8, 8a, 8 Pro

What Applications/Applications Stores are available?

GrapheneOS doesn’t install Google Play Services by default.  Most modern Android applications can be run without Google Play Services, but some will miss push notifications.

Some applications require Google Play Services.  GrapheneOS will sandbox Google Play Services and give you some added privacy and security.

GrapheneOS – Contacts, Clock, Calculator, Files, Gallery, Phone, SMS Messaging  (minimal applications for best security)

GrapheneOS App Store – PDF viewer, GrapheneOS Auditor, Vanadium (web browser).  Lets you add sandboxed Google Play Services (if needed)

Obtainium – Any open-source application available on sites like Github.  Use this for critical use applications.

Zap.Store – Open-Source apps verified by NOSTR web-of-trust

F-Droid – Open-Source applications

Aurora Store – Open Source replacement for Google Play Store.  Use as last resort for installing applications.
