Proof of Concept: Ameeba Cell

In a world where smartphones are overloaded with apps, trackers, and constant surveillance, a new alternative is emerging. The Ameeba Cell is a dumb, minimalistic smartphone designed for people who want simplicity, privacy, and security without giving up essential tools.

Unlike traditional devices, Ameeba Cell will not require a phone number, email address, or personal information. It’s built for those who are tired of surveillance-heavy mobile ecosystems and want a privacy-first phone that works on their terms.

Why a Minimalist Smartphone?

Over the past few years, there has been growing demand for dumbphones and minimalist smartphones. From executives looking to cut distractions to privacy advocates seeking alternatives to Big Tech, more people are searching for devices that do less — but do it well.

The Ameeba Cell takes this movement one step further by combining minimalism with privacy technology. Instead of being a downgraded smartphone, it’s a purpose-built device for anonymous communication and secure digital ownership.

Ameeba Cell Features

The Ameeba Cell is built on a lightweight Android (AOSP/LineageOS) operating system with no Google services, no trackers, and no unnecessary bloatware. It comes preloaded with the Ameeba ecosystem of apps:

Most apps won’t tell you the truth.
They’re part of the problem.

Phone numbers. Emails. Profiles. Logs.
It’s all fuel for surveillance.

Ameeba Chat gives you a way out.

  • • No phone number
  • • No email
  • • No personal info
  • • Anonymous aliases
  • • End-to-end encrypted

Chat without a trace.

  • Ameeba Chat — anonymous, encrypted messaging with no personal information required.
  • Ameeba Vault — end-to-end encrypted file storage for private sharing.
  • Ameeba Wallet — a non-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet with support for Ameon (AME).
  • Ameeba Pseudopod — a private browser that leaves no history or digital footprint.

Together, these tools make Ameeba Cell more than just another dumbphone — it’s a secure platform for private communication and digital transactions.

Privacy Without Compromise

Traditional smartphones require users to hand over personal data: phone numbers, emails, cloud accounts, and more. With Ameeba Cell, none of that is necessary. Users create a secure alias, save their restore code, and immediately have access to encrypted communication and transactions — all without revealing who they are.

By stripping out unnecessary features and focusing on security, privacy, and minimalism, Ameeba Cell ensures that users stay in control of their data.

Affordable and Accessible

Unlike many “privacy phones” on the market that cost hundreds of dollars, the Ameeba Cell is being designed with accessibility in mind. Our mission is to keep it priced in line with budget smartphones, making privacy-first technology available to anyone who wants it.

The Future of Minimalist Smartphones

The launch of Ameeba Cell marks the beginning of a new category: affordable, privacy-first minimalistic smartphones. With OEM partnerships now underway, development is moving forward quickly.

Whether you’re looking for a secondary phone to cut distractions, or a primary device built on privacy-first principles, Ameeba Cell is designed to meet that need.

Coming soon.
