The Ghost Phone: A Complete List of Pre-Installed Applications

When you purchase The Ghost Phone, you’re not just getting a secure and private smartphone; you’re also gaining access to a curated selection of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) applications. These apps are designed to provide you with the tools you need right out of the box, saving you the time and hassle of hunting down reliable and privacy-respecting software on your own.

Since launching The Ghost Phone in November 2022, we’ve continually refined our app selection, ensuring our customers have the best tools at their fingertips. Sometimes this means replacing apps that have changed ownership or business practices or finding better alternatives.

Pro Tip: Keep Your Phone Organized

We highly recommend uninstalling apps you don’t use after giving them a try. This saves storage space, prevents unnecessary background activity, and declutters your device.

Note: While apps like ProtonMail and Tuta Mail are included, we encourage users to evaluate alternatives. Their popularity makes them common choices, but we prioritize giving you the freedom to choose.
