Cioré

A Better Phone, By Design

Privacy Protected by Design

Lumé OS blocks tracking at the system level. Your data stays yours, with no third-party access or ad targeting.

Modular and Built to Last

Swap a broken screen. Upgrade a module. Return your old casing and receive the new one. Never replace the whole phone again.

Always Recharging. No Extra Charger.

Charges normally and continuously harvests energy from sunlight, ambient light, and biothermic touch. No battery anxiety.

Built With Eco-Friendly Materials

Every component is ethical, recyclable, and transparently sourced. Good for the person holding it and the planet it came from.

The Problem

What Today's Mobile World Gets Wrong

Consumer Side

Pervasive Data Exploitation

Your phone tracks everywhere you go and sells that data for profit. 42% of apps request cross-app tracking. Most users have no idea it is happening.

$278B data broker market · 42% of apps track across devices

Forced Upgrade Cycles

Phones are deliberately slowed down and stripped of updates after a few years, pushing consumers into costly replacements before the device is truly worn out.

62M tonnes e-waste in 2022 · only 22% recycled

A Growing E-Waste Crisis

E-waste rises by 2.6 million tonnes every year and is projected to hit 82 million tonnes by 2030. Only 1% of rare earth elements are recovered from discarded devices.

Opaque, Unethical Supply Chains

An estimated 40,000 children work in cobalt mining tied to lithium-ion battery supply. Consumers have no way to verify what is inside the device they carry every day.

The Problem

The Business Risk Is Equally Serious

Business Side

Employee Device Data Leaks

48% of organizations suffered a breach linked to unmanaged personal devices last year. When staff handle client work on personal phones, businesses lose visibility and take on real liability.

VMI 2025 · 46% of breach credentials from BYOD machines

Compliance and Audit Exposure

The average US data breach costs $9.36 million. Consumer-grade phones create audit blind spots. Once a regulator asks what was accessed, standard hardware cannot answer.

IBM 2024 · Global average breach = $4.88M

Executive Targeting

SIM swap fraud rose 1,055% in 2024 year over year. Mobile phishing is increasingly personalized. The phone is often the weakest security link in any organization.

Insurance and Risk Premiums

Cyber insurers flag BYOD environments as coverage gaps. Weak mobile security raises premiums, tightens underwriting limits, and can reduce insurability after a serious incident.

The Solution

One Device. Every Problem Addressed.

Lumé OS

Ground-up custom OS. Blocks 5,000+ daily data points at the source. Short-lived permissions auto-expire. Work and personal data fully isolated. Compliance logs generated automatically.

Privacy by Default

No tracking without consent. Permissions expire automatically. Minimal data from first boot.

Nyro Solar Power System

Solar-assisted energy harvesting built in. Longer uptime, emergency resilience, lower charging dependency.

Repair-First Hardware

Screw-based assembly. Every module replaceable individually. Evolves with you instead of becoming landfill.

Business Compliance Mode

On-demand audit logs showing which app accessed what data and when. Simplifies review, lowers insurance risk.

Gaia-X: Your AI Indicator

Like the green dot on your camera, Gaia-X shows when an app uses AI. Use it, limit it, or block it. You decide.

Upgrade and Return Model

When a new upgrade is ready, return your old casing. We repurpose it. You receive the new one. Nothing goes to waste.

Competitive Edge and Defensibility

Why Cioré Is Built to Win

Existing smartphones are optimized for growth through data monetization and planned obsolescence. Cioré is built around the opposite principles, and that divergence is structurally hard to copy.

Integrated Ethical Architecture

Combining privacy, modularity, and clean energy into one device forces competitors to re-engineer entire product stacks to match. Each pillar reinforces the others.

Sovereign OS Independence

Lumé OS is built from the ground up, free from the tracking dependencies in today's dominant mobile ecosystems. There is no upstream ad revenue to protect.

Hardware Designed for Longevity

Major brands optimize for short replacement cycles. Cioré optimizes for years of continued use, repair, and upgrade. The business model aligns with the customer's interest.

Traceable Supply Chain from Day One

Cioré builds supply chain transparency in from the start. Incumbents would need to undo decades of opaque sourcing relationships to reach the same position.

Patent Pending

Cioré has filed patent-pending protections on key aspects of the system architecture, providing an early defensibility layer as the product develops and the market grows.
