PurePhone is a modified Android smartphone with a built-in, uninstallable NSFW / Porn / Lewd filter. Unlike traditional filtering apps or parental controls, the filter is integrated into the operating system, meaning it cannot be bypassed by a VPN. The result is a phone that supports healthier, more intentional technology use. The operating system 'PureOS' is also available to download for free
Hi Everyone, this project has taken over 2 years, hundreds of hours and some very agonizing problems that needed to be solved.
The idea came from my frustration with existing filtering apps and how easy it was to circumvent them.
It took a lot of work modifying Android, developing the filtering system, and making everything reliable/secure/stable enough for everyday use, but I've finally reached the point where it's available for people who want that permanent solution.
I have also bundled a secondary optional feature of a hard time limit on non essential screen time, this can be modified extensively to suit the user and is the most effective way to reduce screen time as like above it cannot be circumvented.
It has personally made a very large difference in mental well being and clarity and is something I am very excited to share.

Switched my old phone over to PureOS this week and honestly forgot it was a filtered setup after the first day. The fact that a VPN can't sneak around it is kind of wild, and the system still feels snappy and normal for everything else.
