Mission log — exploring the unknown
Accessible, distributed and open tools
for interoperable systems.
01 — Why
open-os develops and promotes technologies that work across platforms, respect your data, and remain open for anyone.
Open for anyone. No accounts, no gatekeepers, no telemetry.
Local-first by design. Your machine, your models, your data.
Works across platforms, providers and operating systems.
02 — Mission manifest
The Freedom Index for operating systems.
A public ranking that certifies how well each operating system respects user sovereignty, neutrality, and general-purpose computing. Every grade follows a public rubric, with cited evidence and full history.
Operating systems are scored across three weighted axes — owner sovereignty, ecosystem freedom, and technical openness — spanning nine dimensions and graded from S (Absolute Sovereignty) to F (Hostile).
Browser interface for local language models.
A lightweight extension that connects to any LLM running on Ollama (Llama, Mistral, Phi, Gemma, and others). Chat with AI directly from your browser without external servers, accounts, or telemetry.
Available for Chromium browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge).
Coming soon: Soul Protocol integration for persistent context across sessions.
A terminal emulator with a secure, built-in AI assistant — no accounts, no telemetry.
A lightweight terminal emulator with integrated AI assistance powered by local LLMs via Ollama. Ask questions directly in the terminal, get context-aware suggestions, and approve commands before execution — no external servers, no accounts, no telemetry.
Available as AppImage for any Linux distro and as a native package for Arch Linux.
Specification for portable AI identities.
An open specification for portable AI identity. A standardized system of interconnected Markdown files that define an AI assistant's identity, knowledge, preferences, and reasoning patterns — independent from any specific model or provider.
Change the brain. Keep the soul.
Independent software distribution platform.
App marketplace operating since 2002. Direct distribution without platform restrictions, zero commission for developers, accessible from any browser.
