Every Privacy Phone arrives with a vetted set of apps installed and ready. You are not assembling a privacy stack from scratch.
How pre-installed apps work on a Privacy Phone
Essential and Pro share the same foundation: private browsers, Proton, encrypted messaging, maps, notes and the day-to-day tools.
No Google or Apple account is required to use them.
Pro Bundle adds a year of Proton Unlimited with the account set up, three profiles ready, and extra tools in the Ghost profile.
Sandboxed Google Play is available. It is not switched on at dispatch. How to add an app is in install apps on a Privacy Phone.
A stock phone arrives already tied to a platform account and a store that profiles you. This set works on day one without that.
Apps on every Privacy Phone (Essential and Pro)
Browsing: Vanadium (GrapheneOS’s hardened browser), plus Brave and Tor Browser. Private ways to play podcasts, music and video offline.
Proton Free: Mail, Drive, Calendar, VPN on one device, Pass and Authenticator. You create the account. Swiss-hosted.
Day to day. Documents, encrypted notes, encrypted calls and messages, offline maps and weather, and a tool to strip location data from photos before you share them. A private assistant that does not keep your prompts.
Extra apps on the Pro Bundle
Everything above, plus:
Proton Unlimited for 12 months. About $200 at current Proton pricing: 500 GB of Drive, VPN on up to 10 devices, more addresses, Pass vaults, Sentinel and dark-web alerts. After the year you renew with Proton. Already paying for Unlimited? Contact us before purchase for a $200 discount coupon so you are not paying twice.
Three profiles ready: Owner, Daily and Ghost. You can add more, up to 32. How those rooms work is in isolation features. Which tier to buy is in Essential or Pro.
Ghost profile tools: Tracker detection (bluetooth and network scanners), rogue hotspot identification, secure peer-to-peer communication tools, location spoofing, Proton + Tor/Orbot hybrid VPN configurations, secure document shares, and the extra notes in the Pro manual.
Why these apps are pre-installed
Unlike others, we provide a complete, ready-to-use privacy-first ecosystem. Our detailed User Manuals include an overview of each app, Pro-tips, video links, alternatives, etc.
This approach helps you avoid a steep learning curve while maximising privacy from day one.
