OwnPhone: privacy smartphone for digital sovereignty
OwnPhone is the only smartphone that truly gives you control over your data. No accounts, no tracking, no data selling, and no Big Tech.
Your data stays on your phone or is securely stored on the decentralized ThreeFold internet. All this without compromising ease of use: everything you can do with your current smartphone, you can do with the OwnPhone.
Take control of your digital life
The OwnPhone puts you in charge of your digital life. No apps tracking you or designed to keep you hooked. No data collection. This smartphone works for you: user-friendly, private, and fully under your control.
No required accounts or hidden tracking
Use your phone without mandatory online accounts, without conditions you didn’t choose, and without silent data collection happening in the background.
Decide where your data lives: locally or on the decentralized internet
You choose where your data is stored, either on your phone or securely in your personal Nextcloud environment on the decentralized ThreeFold internet. No Big Tech involved.
Fully designed and produced in Europe: from hardware to operating system
The OwnPhone runs on an open-source, Google-free OS and is built in Germany. No Google apps, no mandatory services, no hidden tracking. Just a clean, secure user experience, developed to meet European standards for privacy and digital autonomy.
Built for focus, not distraction
A smartphone without bloatware, unnecessary distractions, or apps designed to hijack your attention. The OwnPhone includes everything you need and nothing you don’t. Its lightweight, open-source OS, YOS, is designed to give you control, not steal your focus. The interface is customizable, just like Android. And thanks to multiboot, you can also choose to start in Ubuntu Touch, a privacy-first alternative that takes your digital autonomy even further.
Say goodbye to hidden costs of your smartphone.
What seems convenient often comes at a high price: every click, every move, every word is quietly recorded, analyzed and linked to your digital profile.Not for your convenience, but for commercial gain and behavioral influence. And that’s not all.
All that data ends up in massive data centers owned by a handful of large companies. They consume enormous amounts of energy, strain natural resources and leave a heavy ecological footprint.
While you scroll, you feed a system built on control, depletion and profit maximization.
OwnPhone breaks that.
With this privacy phone, your data stays on your own device or is securely stored on the energy‑efficient, decentralized internet of ThreeFold.
