Lockdown Mode for Android?

Is there a fork of Android (or a way to harden it) that locks down the OS similarly to how Apple does it?

Apple's implementation can actually protect you from commercial spyware. I'm impressed.

I'm assuming your talking about AOSP? Basically anything that's privacy or freedom oriented such as Graphene, Calyx or Divested OS.
- I love graphene doesnt have a lockdown per say but u can definatly have seperate profiles that should acheive a simmillar amount of isolation.
  
  "Lockdown mode" is a false sense of security. Graphene is fine and should be challenging to compromise as long as you aren't doing anything to crazy. I would be very interested to see an attack for it as I haven't seen any public attempts as of yet
- DivestOS is awesome.
- Can any of them prevent a Pegasus-style attack?
  
  If I understand correctly, Apple does it by disabling common attack vectors, remote fonts for example.
  
  No. Even iOS (even with lockdown mode) can definitely still be hacked.
  
  Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what he's talking about.
  
  If you're being targeted by someone with access to Pegasus-style spyware, you need more than consumer-level protection.
  
  I'm pretty sure I heard that graphene could possibly prevent a pegasus-style attack.
Not sure but maybe Ubuntu on the phone ?
Xprivacy?
- I didn't know this app existed. Anyway, the project was discontinued.
