Take control of your digital life.

The OwnPhone puts you in control of your digital life. No apps tracking you or designed to keep you hooked. No data collection. This smartphone works for you, on your terms: user-friendly, private, and fully under your control.

No accounts, no surveillance, no hidden tracking

Use your phone without being forced into cloud accounts, terms you didn’t agree to or background data grabs.

Store your data locally or in your own decentralized cloud

You choose where your data lives: on your phone or in a secure, user-owned cloud. 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 addiction

No bloatware, no infinite scrolls, no manipulative alerts. Just what you need. Nothing more.

Say goodbye to hidden costs of traditional smartphones.

What seems convenient often comes at a high cost: every click, movement, and word is quietly tracked, analyzed, and linked to your digital profile.

Not for your convenience, but for profit and behavioral manipulation. And that’s not all.

All that data ends up in massive data centers owned by a handful of corporations. These consume huge amounts of energy, strain natural resources, and leave a heavy ecological footprint.

While you scroll, you feed a system built on control, exploitation, and profit maximization.

OwnPhone breaks that cycle.

With this privacy-first phone, your data stays on your device — or is securely stored on the energy-efficient, decentralized internet of ThreeFold.
