About
We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after
buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply
integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are
developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused
free software mobile OS that is modeled after
traditional Linux distributions. With privilege
separation in mind.
Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!

»postmarketOS revolutionizes smartphone hacking«
— Drew DeVault, FLOSS pioneer
»I think it's really amazing what you do. [...] I have also always
thought that it was a goal to have spin-offs or distros that are
derived from Alpine, and we have that with postmarketOS.«
— Natanael Copa, Alpine Linux founder
»I feel like every project that's kind of in the Linux Mobile space
has some sort of connection to postmarketOS. [...] For us in KDE,
having always supported Plasma Mobile from its inception, even
before I started contributing, to now also helping provide all
the resources we use for development.«
— Devin Lin, Plasma Mobile lead developer
»The enthusiasts behind the project are hard at work to port
drivers for devices to the mainline Linux kernel. This ensures that
devices can be used after vendors do not provide an up-to-date
operating system anymore.«

»With the widespread move to mobile devices,
users lose control over their computing
devices. PostmarketOS gives us the ability to
run code that we can read and modify on these
devices.«
