BraX3 is fully funded in just 4 days!

Huge thank you to the community for supporting our project. We reached our funding goal of 250,000$ in just 4 days. Reaching the goal in such a short time inspires us to dream big and help more people regain control of their digital data.

Stretch goal #1 achieved!

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve reached our community stretch goal of raising $500,000 on IndieGoGo! This means that every BraX3 pre-ordered will include a 256GB microSD card—for free. This is our way of saying thank you for believing in us and being part of this amazing journey.

Stretch goal #2 is now available!

We’re not not yet. We’re setting our sights even higher with a new stretch goal of $1,000,000 raised via IndieGoGo by the end of January! 

As a reward for reaching this new goal, every backer will get to choose a free accessory to pair with their BraX3. Stay tuned—within the next couple of weeks, we’ll unveil our full BraX3 accessory line, giving you even more to look forward to!

Your phone is sharing more personal information than you think

Smartphones are more than just communication tools—they're also spying devices. They collect tons of data, like your location, browsing history, and even access to your contacts and microphone. This information gets collected, categorized, and resold, helping organizations build detailed digital profiles about you.

The trend with newer smartphone models indicates that user privacy protection is unlikely to improve. The integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence will enable these devices to process personal data faster and more efficiently, resulting in a more accurate data-rich digital profile of each user.

The BraX3 lets you enjoy all your favorite Android apps without sacrificing privacy. Stay productive, keep up with the news, stream media, chat with friends, and share
files—all while keeping your data private and secure.

All orders during our IndieGoGo campaign will include a BraX3 device with iodéOS premium features for life. iodéOS premium features include advanced adblocking, network blocking, adult content blocking, unethical social media blocking, and parental control.

The BraX3 will work with any telco in the world as long as:

• The telco uses 4G or 5G frequency bands supported by BraX3
• The telco doesn’t have a special device approval process

Software support

BraX3 will offer long-term support and security, with major Android OS updates and security patches guaranteed until at least 2030. This commitment ensures that your device stays up-to-date, secure, and fully functional for years to come.

As an open platform, BraX3’s AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code will be shared with developers of other custom ROM projects. This means that developers who wish to port their custom ROM to BraX3 will have access to the resources they need to make it happen. We believe that every custom ROM project contributes to the collective mission of enhancing privacy in mobile technology, and we’re excited to collaborate with the open-source community to support these efforts.

Continuous hardware support

The BraX3 is modularly designed so that you the consumer can replace parts by yourself with standard tools. To help you keep your BraX3 for years, we’re committing to provide spare parts for at least six years after launch. Alongside this, we’ll share detailed repair guides, diagrams, and technical documentation so you can easily repair your device yourself or with a trusted provider. With BraX3, you’re investing in a phone built for longevity and true ownership.

The open-source movement champions collaboration, innovation, and freedom from proprietary restrictions. In that spirit, the BraX3’s “see-through” design symbolizes a shift toward tech that is honest, instead of hidden and obscure.

It’s a reminder that technology can be both powerful and transparent, empowering people to understand and trust the products they rely on to store their personal data.

The design of BraX3, with its transparent backplate, is a tribute to the open-source movement—a commitment to transparency, accessibility, and trust.

Experience the BraX3

Experience the BraX3 like you've never experienced a smartphone before. We take transparency seriously in every aspect of our project. So we decided to open and share our BraX3's 3D model. In full detail, including every little bit under the hood.

BraX3 production update (Feb 26th, 2025)

The BraX3 production test run is officially in progress! As part of this crucial phase, we’re manufacturing 150 BraX3 devices to thoroughly evaluate the assembly process and fine-tune every detail before full-scale production begins. 
To ensure the highest quality and durability of the BraX3, we’re also conducting a series of aging tests. These tests simulate long-term use, helping us guarantee that your device meets the standards you expect and deserve.

Enjoy some behind-the-scenes visuals from the manufacturing plant:

BraX3 production update (Mar 19th, 2025)

After extensive testing and evaluation, we have not identified any hardware-related issues with the BraX3.  What's more, we have already completed the assembly of the first batch of the BraX3. The last remaining milestone is getting a production-ready version of iodéOS.  Enjoy some of the images from our last visit.

Our journey

Over two years ago, we launched BraX2, a smartphone that took a stand for user privacy in a world dominated by invasive data practices. The response was inspiring, confirming that people are eager for technology that prioritizes their privacy. But we knew we could do better and go further. 

With BraX3, we’ve taken everything we learned from BraX2 and pushed it to the next level. Our motivation remains the same: to create a smartphone that empowers users with complete control over their data. In a landscape where new devices increasingly prioritize profit over privacy, BraX3 was designed to be the opposite—a truly privacy-friendly smartphone that’s honest, easy to use, and affordable for most. 

BraX3 is more than just a phone; it’s a statement. It represents our commitment to digital freedom and the belief that privacy should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford high-end alternatives. We’re excited to share BraX3 with the world and to offer a solution that puts users back in control of their own digital lives.

Shipping, taxes and duty fees

All prices disclosed in this campaign are exclusive of tax and duty fees. Only the cost of the Perk (product and service) and  Shipping will be collected at IndieGoGo checkout.

The BraX3 will be delivered globally through our logistics hubs located in the US, Canada, and the European Union. See our FAQ section to find out if you will be charged any additional fees. 

Help spread the word and inspire the privacy movement

We can’t thank you enough for checking out our project and helping us make BraX3 a reality. If you like what you do and want more people to hear about it you can help us by spreading the word on X, Reddit, Mastodon, LinkedIn, or somewhere else!

Risk and challenges

As with any technology project, there is always a risk of delays or unforeseen challenges. However, the risks associated with the BraX3 project are minimal. This isn’t our first launch—we successfully introduced BraX2 over two years ago, and our experience has prepared us well. Additionally, our manufacturing partner, Lunr, brings over 15 years of expertise in developing and manufacturing mobile products, ensuring a high level of reliability.

We’ve already done all pre-production tests and we have validated a pre-production sample of BraX3, which greatly reduces the likelihood of delays. However, some factors beyond our control—such as supply chain issues or force majeure events—could still impact delivery timelines.

If any unexpected developments arise, we’re committed to keeping you informed and will communicate promptly about any potential delays.
