<h1><a href="#features">Features overview</a></h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is an overview of the current set of features differentiating GrapheneOS from
|
||||
the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This page does not currently cover any of our
|
||||
historical features that are either not yet reimplemented or which became obsolete due
|
||||
to improvements in AOSP. Each major release of AOSP brings substantial privacy and
|
||||
security improvements, some of which have been based on our research and development
|
||||
work.</p>
|
||||
<p>GrapheneOS is a private and secure mobile operating system with great functionality
|
||||
and usability. It starts from the strong baseline of the Android Open Source Project
|
||||
and takes great care to avoid increasing attack surface or hurting the strong security
|
||||
model. GrapheneOS makes substantial improvements to both privacy and security through
|
||||
many carefully designed features built to function against real adversaries.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>GrapheneOS is based on the Android 11 release of the Android Open Source Project
|
||||
which provides a strong baseline for privacy and security. GrapheneOS takes great care
|
||||
to preserve the baseline privacy and security, including taking full advantage of all
|
||||
of the standard hardware features. The privacy and security features inherited from
|
||||
AOSP and the hardware are not covered here. Documentation on that will be gradually
|
||||
added elsewhere on our site.</p>
|
||||
<p>GrapheneOS is focused on substance rather than branding and marketing. It doesn't
|
||||
take the typical approach of piling on a bunch of insecure features depending on the
|
||||
adversaries not knowing about them and regressing actual privacy/security. It's a very
|
||||
technical project building privacy and security into the OS rather than including
|
||||
assorted unhelpful frills or bundling subjective third party apps choices.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The project cares a lot about usability and app compatibility so those are taken
|
||||
into account for all of our features. GrapheneOS is also hard at work on filling in
|
||||
gaps from not bundling Google apps and services into the OS. We aren't against users
|
||||
using Google services but it doesn't belong integrated into the OS in an invasive way.
|
||||
GrapheneOS won't take the shortcut of simply bundling a very incomplete and poorly
|
||||
secured third party reimplementation of Google services into the OS. That wouldn't
|
||||
ever be something users could rely upon. It will also always be chasing a moving
|
||||
target while offering poorer security than the real thing if the focus is on simply
|
||||
getting things working without great care for doing it robustly and securely.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This page provides an overview of currently implemented features differentiating
|
||||
GrapheneOS from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). It doesn't document our many
|
||||
historical features that are not no longer included for one reason or another. Many of
|
||||
our features were implemented in AOSP, Linux, LLVM and other projects GrapheneOS is
|
||||
based on so those aren't listed here despite us often having involvement in making the
|
||||
implementations for those projects.</p>
