CORE FEATURES

What Sets ARMOS Apart?

Compatibility, security, and device unification are all included in ArmOS, a platform intended for the upcoming computing age.

PILLAR 1 - ONE SESSION, THREE WORLDS.

Linux, Ubuntu and Windows - in one session. No Reboots.

Run Linux-native software, Ubuntu packages, and Windows applications side-by-side, without reboots or dual boot.

PILLAR 2 - WINDOWS-COMPATIBLE. MICROSOFT-FREE.

Windows-compatible. Microsoft-Free.

ArmOS isn't a fork of Windows. It uses clean-room, open-source tools that are compatible with Windows, including APIs and UX patterns, with no Microsoft code.

PILLAR 3 - ONE FIRMWARE. EVERY DEVICE.

One OS replacing Windows desktop, Windows Server, Android and iOS.

The same OS is used on desktop, laptop, server, tablet, and phone, and it replaces Windows desktop, Windows Server, and your mobile OS with one common foundation.

PILLAR 4 - YOUR DATA IS YOURS.

Peer-to-peer. Post-quantum. Owned by the user.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) and post-quantum secure by default. Every device is a node, all interactions are encrypted, and no aspect of your system's operation relies on another cloud.

PILLAR 5: YOUR COMPUTER IN YOUR POCKET

Unrestricted Portable Computing

Boot the entire ArmOS system from some external media. Connect it to any location, use it like any other device, disconnect it, and leave no footprint on the target machine.

WHY ARMOS

Things ArmOS Can Do That
Other OS Can't

ArmOS provides the foundation and tools required for the future, regardless of whether you are an organization or an individual user.

NO TELEMETRY. EVER.

Privacy Without Compromise

No monitoring, measurement, or gathering of data. Anything that happens on the computer is limited to the computer.

ARM BRAIN

The AI is Yours, Not a Cloud Provider's

Built into ARMOS, rather than bolted on, ARM Brain is designed to be integrated into the end-user's operating system. It works locally, is account-free, and never pushes files, prompts, or activity to a server, either online or offline.

ZERO TRUST SECURITY

Security That Doesn't Get in Your Way

Five enterprise-grade security capabilities combined in one agent that runs from the first boot. No additional installations, no additional subscriptions, no gaps.

App control

Only approved applications are run on your machine. Automatic blocking of unknown software, with instant notification.

Threat detection

As ArmOS monitors all the time for uncommon conduct, it detects ransomware and malicious processes before they can cause harm.

Encrypted storage

Your whole drive will be encrypted when you boot up for the first time with post-quantum cryptography, which is what governments are now using.

Privileged Access Management

Sensitive credentials are stored in a hardware-backed vault, with access controlled. Access is only granted as it is required, and every action is recorded.

SET UP AN APP STORE & DEVELOPER PORTAL

Build Once.
Publish Without Gatekeepers.

When it comes to development, ArmOS includes everything you need straight out of the box. An easy route to get your app in the hands of ArmOS users.

Build in Any Language

Native support for JavaScript, Python and Go. You can choose your language - the runtime, tooling and packaging templates are pre-installed on the device for you.

CI/CD Already Put in Place.

Automated builds, tests, and deployment directly to the ArmOS Store via the built-in pipeline (Git + Jenkins).

Direct to Users.

Get straight to ArmOS users with a streamlined review process and no unwanted friction in between you and your users.

One SDK. Every path.

All of the ArmOS SDK templates, code-signing techniques and pipeline are the same for every developer - no matter what language or framework they select.

Run Windows Server, too!

Windows Server is a guest VM running on a built-in KVM hypervisor at near-native performance, for testing, legacy services, enterprise workloads, and without leaving ArmOS.

Native Desktop Apps

Ship using Tauri, Electron, PySide6, Flet, Wails or Fyne. Each framework delivers a correctly signed, package-ready application, with no work of platform-specific packaging necessary.

ARCHITECTURE

Layer Stack

ArmOS is not the creation of a random bunch of people; it's built on the foundations of the most trusted open-source software. Every layer is traceable, removable, and documented.
