A collective of builders, communities, and knowledge-keepers reimagining how software is built, owned, and preserved.
We envision a world where technology serves human flourishing rather than extractive business models. Where communities control their own digital infrastructure. Where personal apps cost $100 instead of $1M. Where knowledge can outlive any single platform or company.
The AI cost collapse has made this possible. What once required venture capital and engineering teams can now be built by individuals and small communities. We're providing the operating systems—personal, community, and builder infrastructure—to make this vision real.
OS.TECH exists to build and maintain open-source operating systems that enable:
We measure success not by users acquired, but by communities empowered, knowledge preserved, and sovereignty restored.
The principles that guide everything we build
Individuals should own their data, their applications, and their digital infrastructure. We build tools that put control back in users' hands. No surveillance. No data mining. No forced updates. Just software that works for you, not against you.
Communities should be able to govern their own digital spaces without platform dependency. We provide the infrastructure for collective decision-making, resource sharing, and emergent organization—whether you're running a cohousing community, a DAO, or a cooperative.
Human knowledge should outlive any company, platform, or infrastructure failure. We're building systems designed to work offline, preserve essential know-how, and enable communities to maintain technical capability across generations.
Core infrastructure should be open, inspectable, and forkable. AGPL licensing ensures improvements flow back to the community. Commercial licenses available for those who need them, but the code always remains free as in freedom.
We're not competing with commercial platforms. We're creating a parallel ecosystem.
