Knowing monocles and seeing the list of supported devices, it's probably "just" a rebranding of CalyxOS or GrapheneOS with small modifications to the UI, so that it looks a bit more modern.

the website makes it clear it's based on GrapheneOS but doesn't say what they've changed or why you would choose this instead
Must have missed that. Thanks for clarifying.
@nachtigall @rmc0 so these guys just sell rooted google pixels?
At least with a custom rom flashed. I doubt they are rooted, since that would open a huge attack surface.
I also did not want to downplay their efforts. Arne is doing a great job of making open source privacy friendly apps more accessable to common users by providing a coherent branding and a cleaner more modern UI. Maybe somewhat similar to snikket's initiative, yet broader.
