Volla OS

Volla OS is an open-source operating system for smartphones, developed by the German company Hallo Welt Systeme UG. The project began with the intention of creating a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream mobile operating systems. Volla OS is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) but does not include Google services, providing users with a more privacy-centric experience. The operating system gained attention with the launch of the Volla Phone through a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in 2020. It emphasized user privacy, simplicity, and security, appealing to those looking for alternatives to data-centric mobile ecosystems. Volla OS has contributed to the growing movement of open-source software in the mobile industry, providing users with greater control over their data and device functionalities. Its impact is noted in niche circles that prioritize digital privacy and open-source solutions.
