Apostrophy OS is a new smartphone operating system aiming to be a third choice between Android and iOS.
The OS is based on Android but heavily modified for user privacy, offering complete control over personal data.
Apostrophy OS features a unique home screen called the "Domus," a customizable home screen called the "Piazza," and a suite of apps and services focused on privacy.

This doesn't seem targeted towards actually privacy-conscious people. There's too much abstraction and funneling you through their services. I think it's targeted to people who think they want to be private but don't know any better.

To be fair to them, techbro audience is a solid bet

Based on the stuff the floats up on privacy communities and subreddits, thats a fairly reasonable target market. Good market for snake oil.
