GrapheneOS is a free and open source Android -based operating system for selected smartphones . Known as Android Hardening until March 2019, it focuses on privacy and security .
The lead developer, Daniel Micay, originally worked on CopperheadOS until he left the company to work on GrapheneOS. After a split between the founders of Copperhead, Micay turned his attention to the Android Hardening Project, which he renamed GrapheneOS to better reflect the project goals.
Edward Snowden said in September 2019, "If I were to configure a smartphone today, I would use Daniel Micay's GrapheneOS as the base operating system".
According to Daniel Micay, GrapheneOS should only be ported for devices that support "Verified Boot" and have an attestation for alternative operating systems. Currently (March 2020) only the following smartphones of the Google Pixel series are officially supported: Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. Other smartphones not named are supported on "source level" and must be compiled by yourself .
