European consumer products alternative based in France.
Murena builds a complete Big-Tech-free mobile ecosystem around /e/OS, a deGoogled Android fork, and the Murena Workspace cloud suite. The company sells privacy-first smartphones and tablets with Google services removed, paired with an online workspace for mail, calendar, drive, and office, giving users a genuine alternative to the Google and Apple stacks.
/e/OS ships preinstalled on Murena devices and can be flashed onto dozens of supported models, stripping out Google telemetry and replacing core apps with open-source equivalents. The Advanced Privacy shield blocks trackers, hides IP addresses, and fakes location data, while Murena Workspace keeps files, mail, and contacts in European-hosted storage powered by renewable energy.
Key benefits:
- /e/OS deGoogled Android removes Google telemetry and services entirely
- Advanced Privacy shield blocks trackers and masks location at OS level
- Murena Workspace syncs mail, calendar, drive, and office in one account
- Microsoft 365 compatible document editing without Microsoft sign-in
- Open-source code is fully auditable by security researchers
- Preinstalled hardware ships smartphones and tablets ready to use
Murena is a European company with EU-based cloud hosting powered by renewable energy, operating fully within GDPR. Because /e/OS and Workspace are open source, the stack is verifiable by academic reviewers at the universities of Edinburgh and Dublin and carries none of the US CLOUD Act exposure of Google or Microsoft alternatives.
Featured in WIRED, The Verge, and XDA Developers, and funded by successful Kickstarter and Crowdcube campaigns from privacy-conscious backers across Europe.
