Financial-Grade Security, Now in Your Pocket
Whether you're paying, working, or protecting sensitive data, PlugOS uses cutting-edge, hardware-level security to create a fully isolated private workspace for you.
What is PlugOS?
PlugOS is an Android-based, hardware-isolated secure operating system that runs entirely inside a thumb-sized device, instantly turning any iPhone, Android phone or tablet, Mac, or Windows PC into a fully private, physically separated workspace for sensitive tasks, identities, data, and communications.
Plug-and-Play
A thumb-sized device that boots PlugOS instantly—no flashing, no jailbreaking, no changes required. Just a fully isolated secure OS on demand.
Secure and Private
Hardware isolation and deep protections shield you from software and hardware attacks, ensuring safe, private, and seamless use on any device.
Cross-Platform
Works on Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows devices with zero host modifications—just plug in and enter a standalone, highly secure system.

Portable Computing
Fully Functional Micro-Computer
A complete and independent computer system engineered into the smallest possible form factor.
Independent computer packed at thumb-size
Processor, memory, storage, secure module — all built inside. This isn't an accessory. It's a standalone micro-computer you can plug into any device.
Optimized Power Management
Smart power balancing ensures smooth performance while minimizing load on your phone or tablet.
Plug-and-play everywhere
Works instantly on Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, and macOS without drivers or setup. Wherever you plug it in, you get a clean, isolated OS in seconds.
Optional GMS support Compatible with a wide range of Android apps
Runs mainstream Android apps while maintaining strong isolation and security. You no longer need to choose between "secure" and "usable."
Hardware Vault Physical Isolation for Your Data
A system built from the silicon upward, established through physical isolation and hardware-backed encryption
Secure Enclave on Chip ：Your sensitive data never touches the system
Payment credentials and encryption keys are locked inside a dedicated hardware zone that meets CC EAL4+ security standards. Some models include an independent CC EAL6+ secure element, offering the same physical protection level as hardware crypto wallets. Even if your phone or computer is compromised, malware still can't break into this hardware vault.
Full-disk encryption If the device is lost, your data isn't
All data stored in PlugOS is encrypted at rest inside the secure hardware. Damage, loss, or physical teardown — none of it can expose or recover your data.
Pre-boot authentication No one but you can unlock the device
When plugged in, PlugOS verifies both the host device (phone or computer) and your unlock credential. If either fails, it simply won't power on or start the system.
Verified Boot Built to resist firmware-level attacks
Every startup begins with a strict integrity check. Any unauthorized change (e.g., firmware injection, low-level malware) gets instantly blocked.
Active Data Self-Destruct Critical secrets stay unrecoverable
Under brute-force attempts or duress-type inputs, PlugOS can trigger an irreversible secure-erase sequence to protect your sensitive information.
Privacy, Re-Engineered Your Data Stays Yours
PlugOS changes how data moves and where it lives, so control stays in your hands—not in the cloud.
Local-only data processing
Your typing, browsing, photos, and files stay inside PlugOS on its own hardware. No forced cloud sync. No copy to the host phone. No hidden background channels.
System apps with zero tracking
Core apps (keyboard, gallery, browser) are rebuilt for privacy from the ground up. No analytics. No ad trackers. No hidden data collection. Privacy isn't a setting here—it's the default.
Virtual sensors & anti-fingerprinting
A virtual sensor layer can blur or block GPS, camera, and SIM identity. Apps only see a controlled "virtual profile," making fingerprinting and device-based tracking much harder.
System firewall every connection under your control
A built-in firewall shows exactly which apps are trying to go online. You see every connection—and can cut off anything you don't trust.
How PlugOS Enhances Your Digital Life
PlugOS gives you a clean, private digital space that travels with you. Plug it in, switch worlds, and keep streaming, working, and moving assets without exposing your main phone or laptop
Run Android apps on iOS, keep a separate watch history and logins, and binge your favorite shows without mixing with your everyday accounts.
Messages, photos, browsing and apps inside PlugOS stay in a hardware-isolated system, not on your main device — so you can share your phone without sharing your private life.
Handle crypto, banking and trading in a locked-down environment with encrypted storage and optional duress/self-destruct protections if the device is ever lost or forced open.
Plug into any compatible computer or tablet to access your secure workspace, handle documents and meetings, then unplug and leave without a trace on the host device.
IT teams can deploy PlugOS as a plug-and-play secure terminal — one device per user, with policies in the hardware instead of on personal phones and laptops.

PlugOS will release updates based on functional testing, user feedback, security patches, and other factors. New versions will be published in the Community.
You can check the PlugOS security patch date in Settings.Patches are updated based on functional testing, user feedback, and other considerations.
- has its own desktop, apps, file system, permission control;
- runs independently from the host system, no interference, no access;
- security level far exceeds ordinary apps or software clone solutions.
- Lightweight and portable, goodbye to bulkiness: Secure phones are usually bulky, expensive, and can only be used alone. PlugOS is smaller than a USB drive, easily fits in your pocket, one device, multiple hosts universal.
- Hardware-level true isolation: Most privacy apps or phone system's built-in clone functions are software-level isolation, still at risk of being breached. PlugOS uses an independent hardware system, completely isolated from the host, data doesn't communicate, security level is completely different.
