Murena Launches /e/OS 3.0: Where Usability Meets Privacy
June 3, 2025 — Tech giants may be addicted to citizens' data, but they should not be able to use smartphones for that. Today Murena launches /e/OS 3.0, the latest milestone in its journey to create a user-friendly operating system (OS) for everyone that is also more ethical, private, and user-controlled. /e/OS pairs a mainstream-grade user experience with bullet-proof privacy and an open source foundation.
Technology That Respects Users’ Privacy and the Planet
In an era where every tap, swipe, and location ping is tracked by tech giants and advertisers, /e/OS 3.0 offers a different way. Built from the ground up as a mainstream, user-friendly, fully open-source, deGoogled mobile operating system, /e/OS runs Android apps but simultaneously does not have the downsides of Android: it protects users from trackers from mobile apps. Designed by an international team of developers, it puts user privacy and freedom first.
Coupled with the Murena Workspace, users get a seamless digital experience connecting their smartphone and tablet with the cloud, including cloud storage, office documents collaborative edition, email, calendar, and more—all ‘privacy-by-design’ and all under their control.
Murena not only respects users' privacy, but also the planet, by offering long support times and even a new life for smartphones and tablets (oldest supported currently from 2016), and by operating all its servers within the EU, powered entirely by renewable energy.
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.
● 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.
“We believe that technology should serve people, not the other way around. With this new version of /e/OS, we are raising the bar even higher in our powerful proposition for a healthier, more ethical, and user-first digital life.” – Gaël Duval, founder of /e/OS and CEO at Murena.
