Do Privacy Phones include the Proton apps?

Yes. The Proton app set is on every Privacy Phone.

Mail, VPN, Drive, Calendar, Pass, Authenticator, Wallet, Meet and Lumo are installed on Essential and on Pro Bundle. The difference is the plan. On Pro Bundle we also set the account up.

We are a Proton Partner. The apps are Swiss-hosted. Mail and Drive are end-to-end encrypted. The VPN is no-logs. They sit inside GrapheneOS’s sandbox, so they do not get a free look at the rest of the phone.

How Proton apps work on a Privacy Phone

  • Same apps on both tiers.
  • Essential runs Proton Free. You create the account. Looking to upgrade? As a Proton Partner we can offer up to 38% off: https://go.getproton.me/SH30e.
  • Pro Bundle includes 12 months of Proton Unlimited, about $200 at current pricing, and we complete the account setup before it ships.
  • Already paying for Unlimited? Contact us before you order. We send a $200 coupon so you are not paying twice.
  • Gmail, Outlook and a consumer VPN keep the account inside the same companies that already profile the phone. Proton is the account layer we put on GrapheneOS instead.

What Proton apps are on the phone

  • Mail: Encrypted email instead of Gmail or Outlook.
  • VPN: Routes the connection through Proton’s no-logs network. Hides your IP from the sites you visit.
  • Drive: Encrypted files and photos, with sharing links when you need them.
  • Calendar: Private calendar on the same login as Mail.
  • Pass: Password manager with aliases and a built-in 2FA option.
  • Authenticator: Standalone codes for accounts that need an extra step.
  • Wallet: Self-custodial Bitcoin wallet in the Proton account.
  • Meet: Encrypted video calls without a Google or Zoom account.
  • Lumo: Proton’s private AI for drafts and questions, no login / account needed.

After the year you renew with Proton, or step down to Free. The apps stay on the phone either way.

Which tier to buy is in Essential or Pro.

One Swiss login covers mail, files, calendar, passwords, VPN and a private assistant. That is the account layer we want on GrapheneOS. Essential is the working free set. Pro Bundle is the same set with the paid room, and the account already done.
