An open desktop OS

A desktop operating system, made in the open. Users share the value.

NovaOS is memory-safe, on-device AI, and gaming-ready, on a single auditable codebase. Opt into the data program and a defined share of the revenue your usage creates comes back to you.

What NovaOS is

A desktop OS — kernel, drivers, desktop environment, and on-device AI, on a single auditable codebase.

  • Memory-safe by default — whole classes of exploits removed.
  • On-device AI — no data-center round trip, no telemetry piggyback.
  • Gaming-ready — built-in, not bolted on after the fact.

What is NovaOS

Three architecture commitments, in plain language.

The codebase is the security claim. The decisions that shape this OS are written down, and shipped in the open — that's the contract.

Commitment

Memory-safe core

The OS, drivers, and core services are written in languages that do not ship memory-corruption bugs by default. Whole exploit classes disappear with the code, not with patching.

Commitment

On-device AI

Models run next to the window they serve. No data-center round trip, no telemetry tied to the inference, and no opt-in dialog before a feature works.

Commitment

Gaming that is first-class

Modern graphics and compatibility are built in from the first boot. Your library runs; nothing is bolted on after the fact.

How it works

Four steps. The hard part is the boring, public part.

NovaOS is built for users who want a stake in the value their usage creates — not a polished enterprise play competing on conventional support revenue.

  1. step 01

    Install the system

    A single signed image, on bare metal or alongside your existing OS. Nothing leaves the machine at first boot.

  2. step 02

    Pick how you participate

    Four options, all spelled out on the pricing page — the $60 OS, two subscription add-ons, and a free data-share perk. Say yes, say no, switch later.

  3. step 03

    Use the system

    Opted-in means aggregate, anonymized signals at the OS-feature level. No screen contents, no window titles, no keystrokes, nothing that resolves to you.

  4. step 04

    A share of revenue comes back

    A defined percentage of revenue attributable to opted-in participants is paid out — pro rata, on a public schedule. The percentage and the formula are in the open.
