If the answer is “next to me”, the AC02 might be the simplest change you make this autumn. It wakes you gently, keeps the night quiet, and leaves the screen in another room.
Designed by Jasper Morrison. Made in Japan. Seasonal price until 26 October.

Green flags in a phone:
✅ doesn't sell your data
✅ doesn't track your location just to open a flashlight app
✅ keeps your apps in separate boxes, so none of them can gossip about you to the others
✅ lets you say no to a permission, and the app still works

What do you think "Incognito mode" actually protects you from?

27 votes • Final resultsWe asked what Incognito mode actually protects. The real answer: just your own browser history. In 2023, Google settled a $5 billion lawsuit after users found out Incognito never stopped Google itself from tracking them: it only stopped your device from remembering.

Sky TG24, one of Italy's major national broadcasters, tested the MC03 and sat down with our founder Petter Neby to talk privacy, sovereignty, and why "the third way" between Android and iOS matters.

"Your privacy is important to us." Sure it is.
Privacy washing is everywhere: from Google's "Enhanced Ad Privacy" to apps selling your data while swearing they don't.

One more reason to pause doomscrolling this summer: a book doesn't have an algorithm deciding what page comes next.

You don't need to become a privacy expert to deserve privacy.
The MC03 was built on that idea, and the safest setting is also the default one.

Not everyone starts in the same place. The MC03 meets you where you are. Privacy Expert? Go full sovereign.
The Vault gives you a clean, distraction-free environment with only the apps you trust: Proton, Threema, Digital Nomad VPN, and a curated set of secure alternatives.
Customise your home screen with your preferred, secure apps by the Aphy Store or alternative repositories. Privacy Starter? No problem.
The Wild Web area lets you use all the apps you already rely on, but with a crucial difference. Every app lives in its own contained space. They can't talk to each other. They can't share your data. You get the open internet, with a layer of protection that regular smartphones can't offer.
Wherever you're starting from, the MC03 has a space for you: punkt.ch/products/mc03-premi…
