A Microg Pack is preinstalled to interact with Google services, which allows you to do without installation of proprietary components and offers independent analogues instead of Google services. For example, to determine the location by Wi-Fi and the base stations (without GPS), a layer based on Mozilla Location Service is involved.

For synchronization of files and data of applications, your own service has been developed that can work with infrastructure based on NEXTCLOUD. Server components are based on open software and available for installation on systems controlled by the user.
