Google-free Android
iodéOS is an android operating system freed from Google trackers*. A significant part of data breaches comes upstream of apps. iodéOS is powered by “LineageOS”, an open source OS that expands functionalities and the lifespan of mobile devices of more than 20 different manufacturers thanks to a community of contributors across the world. The Trust interface will help you understand the security of your device and warn incoming threats.
Internet connection analysis
Your applications can potentially connect to all types of recipients (advertisers, spammers, trackers, malware …) and send your data invisibly under the hood.iodéOS makes all internet connections from your apps visible and puts you back in control. iodéOS analyses in real-time the identity of all recipients, the quantity of data they wish to collect and shows you where in the world your data is sent to on an interactive world map.

Unwanted data transmission blocking
By default, the iodé built-in adblocker runs permanently on your device.
It relies on a hacking principle called “man-in-the-middle attack” (MITM), with the end goal of intercepting communications between 2 endpoints. Here, iodé plays the MITM role and intercepts all your iodé smartphone input/output communications. Communications with unwanted recipients (see open source collaborative blacklist section) are automatically blocked, though you can unblock any. Interceptions happen locally in your device, and never leave your device. We never collect what is happening in your smartphone.
iodéOS relies on an open source collaborative database to maintain its blocklist up-to-date (see datatable below).
With iodé, you can select different protection categories such as content reserved for adults and unethical social media.
You can also entirely customize your own protection and block any recipient!

Built-in parental control
We at iodé are parents ourselves. And as parents, it certainly feels uncomfortable to know that our children are constantly tracked through their phone. Even worse, it feels scary to know our kids may have a malware or spyware installed on their phone.
Parental control apps can be intrusive and take the form of yet an other spyware compromising the privacy of your kids. This is not the case with iodé. You as a parent can easily define which recipients are blocked by choosing among several levels and categories of iodé blockings. Here are 2 examples of protection categories:
- ‘Porn‘: censors adult websites.
- ‘Social‘: blocks social network recipients. Let’s say you don’t want Tiktok to spy on your kid: activate this protection and consider it done.
With iodéOS, you can also totally disable internet access from the apps you want with password protection. That way, no data would ever leave your kids’ phone. A game you don’t want your kids to play? A social media app you don’t want it to share data with Facebook? Set a password and a few network restrictions and you are done.
