We’re thrilled to announce a major leap forward: /e/OS 3.0 is here.

At Murena, we’ve always believed that your phone should work for you—not for advertisers, data brokers, or surveillance systems. With the release of /e/OS 3.0, we’re taking another big step forward in building technology that is user-friendly, more ethical, transparent, and respectful of your privacy.

This latest version is packed with new features designed to give you even more control over your digital life, while keeping the smooth, user-friendly experience you’ve come to expect from /e/OS.

Why /e/OS 3.0 Matters

We all know that most phones today are data collection machines. Every tap, swipe, and search is tracked and sold. That’s why /e/OS exists—to make digital freedom and privacy the new standard. A fully open-source, deGoogled mobile OS with no trackers, no user profiling, and no targeted ads.

Paired with the Murena Workspace, you get a full digital ecosystem—email, cloud, calendar, notes, office documents and more—all under your control, and fully aligned with our privacy-first values.

What’s New in /e/OS 3.0?

Enhanced Parental Controls

A newly refined screen time management system gives parents greater ability to guide their children’s device usage. Applications flagged for Parental Guidance now require a security code to install, and parents can opt to enable the code for any app installations.

Upgraded Advanced Privacy Tools

/e/OS’s Advanced Privacy feature now offers users a comprehensive overview of how their data is handled. New Weekly Reports provide detailed insights into invasive apps, aggressive trackers, and an overall Privacy Score. Users can even share these reports on social media to raise awareness.

In addition, users can now customize app geolocation access, distinguishing which apps see true vs. fake locations.

Murena Vault

We unveil an ultra powerful tool to protect users’ data on our Murena Workspace at murena.io: a user-friendly and end-to-end encrypted Online Vault, powered by the CryptPad technology, now in beta. This feature allows users to store sensitive files with end-to-end encryption—including for real-time editing and collaboration. This new test service helps explore how ultra-strong encryption can be integrated into the Murena ecosystem with minimal impact on user experience.

Find My Device via SMS

With Find My Device via SMS in /e/OS 3.0, users can locate their device even when they’re far from it—no internet connection required. This simple yet effective feature uses standard text messages (SMS) to help users geolocate their device, securely and with ease.
It is also very useful for parents who want to locate their child in some circumstances.

Tablet Mode

/e/OS 3.0 offers a Tablet Mode, bringing a responsive and user-friendly interface for larger screens while maintaining the core privacy principles of the OS.

Ethical Search with Murena Find

Murena reinforces its commitment to privacy with a new search engine, Murena Find, powered by Qwant technology. It operates by default in “no-tracking” mode, ensuring that users’ searches remain private and while providing great search results.

Digital sovereignty and autonomy for everyone

With users all over the world, /e/OS continues to grow as a truly global new proposition. Murena’s open-source nature helps bring digital sovereignty to users around the world—consumers and increasingly also organizations, like businesses, governments and non-profit organizations.

And one more thing! Hands-Free Messaging for Premium Users

Murena Workspace Premium users now benefit from the Murena Voice to text – feature that allows them to dictate messages easily and privately, thus offering even more security, freedom and flexibility.

Your Phone. Your Data. Your Rules.

With /e/OS 3.0, you’re empowered with more ways to reclaim control — over app permissions, private files, family screen time, and even your online searches.

We’re proud to have you with us on this journey toward a better, fairer, more private tech future.
